The Katherine region is famous for its natural beauty. Stay at Mataranka to bathe in the Bitter Springs Thermal Pools. Or set up camp in the Nitmiluk National Park to paddle or hike along the magnificent Katherine Gorge.
In Katherine you can choose from central hotels, backpackers or resorts with accommodation ranging from camping facilities to executive suites. This is cattle country. Experience life on a working cattle station – some offer hosted farm stays, others welcome you to overnight in a park on the property and enjoy activities including animal feeding and nature walks. It is also a place of wide rivers. Keen anglers book into fishing resorts that welcome groups and offer plenty of freezer space for their catch.
The Daly Waters Historic Pub is a popular stop that offers backpacker, hotel or motel rooms, or a place to pitch a tent, as well as the renowned Beef and Barra meal.
