A weeks stay as working in the area Really friendly and helpful staff and site well laid out with plenty of parking for cars and field vehicles Single room accommodation which was adequate, but for long term stays a challenge and no washing machine in room although communal facilities on site Very basic kitchen utensils so cooking impossible if self catering required Great BBQ area which we used Breakfast a bit basic but again adequate More than adequate for basic stay

A little bit out of town which is why I hadn’t stayed here before. On arrival my first thought was “mining camp” with a bunch of transportables surrounding a rectangular courtyard. I was waiting for a bus load of smokers in hiviz to crowd the courtyard but it didn’t happen. It was actually very quiet and relaxing and I did enjoy it. Rooms are nice and spacious with fridge, microwave, kettle and some plates/ cutlery. Aircon was cold and quiet and the room was very dark if you wanted it to be. The only thing I’d improve would be the cleanliness of the shower… it was a little average. The closest place I could find for a beer was 2.5kms away so you’d need a taxi or a good pair of walking shoes to hit the bar. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, and the price was “fair for Karratha.”

Received an email prior to arriving so we could book in online. Only had to pick up the key so the check in was quite fast. Clean inside and out. Beautifully maintained gardens and pool area. The room was gorgeous. Pretty big kitchen, with good sized fridge/freezer and living area was roomy with a large tv and comfortable couch. Cupboard with washer and dryer. Bedroom was separate with another large tv, separate air conditioner, built in robe and ensuite bathroom. The bed was comfortable, with crisp sheets and comfortable pillows. The bathroom sink/vanity didn't have enough room on top to place things but there was a cupboard underneath. The shower is in the bath and the bath was slippery so beware of this. The cold water tap had to be twisted on quite a lot, compared the to the hot. So get the temperature right before you walk under the spray. Maybe it was just our room but just be mindful. The air conditioners in both rooms were EXTREMELY noisy. There is a ceiling fan in the bedroom but it was too hot to go without the air con. There are quite a few places around the apartments to eat. However, quite expensive. The location was great as far as shops, etc.

I chose this hotel for the location which is fantastic. Had to admit that it looks like a pretty run down motel from the outside. Only staying one night for a business trip so not too fussed. Check in lady was lovely. I found my room. It was exceptionally neat and tidy and will do the job. Bathroom was spacious and disable friendly. Standard bar fridge, iron, tea and coffee. Decent amenities (there is a shower cap which is my minimum!) The radio/alarm doesn't appear to be working but not fussed. Air con was on full blast when I walked in which is great as today is 36C. A bonus is that the bathroom light and fan go into standby mode automatically and instantly turn on when you walk in. The whole complex is aging but clean so I am happy with it and would stay here again.

The pub is large and has a great rustic outdoor eating area which overlooks the Dampier Harbour. It is frequented a lot by miners in high vis, has a bar with numerous TV's playing sport and of late has skimpies behind the bar. The building itself is shabby and looks like it hasn't been upgraded since it opened in the 60's. On the plus side, the food is pretty good and reasonably priced if you go for the specials like steak, chips, salad for $18 on a Tuesday night. You cannot see the bar/skimpies from the outdoor eating area and this is frequented by families and travellers quite often. It is what it is, so don't expect anything fancy and you will have a good time. I've taken a few friends from the city, and they enjoyed themselves so I just think of the venue as an interesting throwback from the past.
