I don't think Tennant Creek is the greatest place but that is hardly the fault of the hotel/motel operators. ALL of Tennant Creek is noisy AND expensive because it is in the middle of nowhere and nobody really wants to be there. EL Dorado is a little old but it is all you need for a one night stop over....

We stayed at this motor inn overnight, driving from Alice to Darwin. We had no prior booking, just drove through town and picked the best looking place. The main street of Tennant Creek was a bit intimidating, with the locals hanging around on the street, so our biggest concern was security, as we were moving interstate and travelling with a... More

I realize that Tennant Creek is quite isolated and accommodation in general is basic, but I find it hard to believe that we paid $130 for this room. We stayed in one of the "better" rooms at the back of the complex. The room was very tiny and smelled musty. The toilet was stained and the bathroom sink was miniscule.... More

Stayed here for a night whilst visiting the local sights. Found the room very small and cramped and smelt musty. The rooms are slowly being updated we were told. The bathroom had no opening window probably due to the No restaurant on site so bring own supplies of food for breakfast! The lodge is on the main road which at... More

Eldorado is located on the northern end of Tennant Creek on the highway. Reception greeted us in a friendly way, told us the price $130, offered to show us the room and also gave us the option to stay at other motels whose rates were cheaper. Be aware this is a pet friendly establishment. We stayed in the two story... More

OK, so a night in Tennant Creek was never going to be the highlight of our trip but it was a convenient stopping off point en route from Alice Springs to Darwin and needs must. We picked the Eldorado as the best of a bad bunch and I suppose on that score it probably delivered. However, it is a thoroughly... More

On a work trip internet access and some space to work is really helpful. Room is clean, reasonably spacious and there's a pool within easy reach. Downside is interconnecting door to adjacent room is not very sound proof. Luckily my collegue goes to bed reasonably early, but if you're a light sleeper maybe ask for a standalone room? Oh, but...

Stayed here twice May 2011 - once on the way to Alice Springs, and once on the way back a few days later. Most of the rooms have been recently renovated, but it would appear that building standards in Tennant Creek are somewhat lower than elsewhere - that is to say, some things about the work were a little bit...

Tennant Creek is really just an overnight stopover on the road between Alice Springs and Katherine. The main street looks fairly run down with many empty shops. The Eldorado Motor Inn is on the main street at the north end of town. Reviews suggest it is the best of a fairly average bunch of hotels in the town. We managed... More
