We stayed there overnight in mid Dec '12. At least the room was toward the back of the complex, so there was little noise from the highway. And we could park right out the front. However there were few other positives.... The room was filthy- the carpets can't have been cleaned in the past century, as our feet were blackened... More

Average, dirty and run down. On the up side the check in girl was friendly & the food in the restaurant was nothing special but ok.The rooms are very run down, the bed had a bow in the middle .If the rooms had a good clean it would make staying here a lot nicer. Aircon was very noisy, ants in... More

This little motel was clean, convenient and covered off on the basics. There is a pool and BBQ facilities if you want to cook, otherwise the food at the in house restaurant was surprisingly excellent. Staff were friendly and booking was in order. It is certainly not five star but doesn't claim to be....and is ok for what you get... More

Spent the night in Tennant Creek at Bluestone, expensive for what you get but not a lot of choice. Room was tidy and clean but full of bugs,air-con was very noisy and the kettle did not work. If you can avoid stopping in Tennant Creek do so but if you have to stop this is the pick of the bunch.

We stayed at the Bluestone twice - on our way to QLD in late December and on our way back at the end of January. Of the 9 different places we stayed in the outback on our travels, this was by far our favourite!! The staff are absolutely wonderful - nothing is too much trouble and they are super friendly,...

If you find yourself unlucky enough to be stuck in tennant creek for the night, which most people do, this place is alright. The rooms are really old and a bit funky smelling and you only get a couple of fuzzy channels on it, and at 130 a night it's massively overpriced, but when your options are lacking, it wasn't...

We decided to stay at this Motor Inn because it was away from the main area of Tennant Creek. our check in was done very effeciently by a lovely friendly young lady. (Thought $155 a night was a bit much to pay, but did not want to spend time looking elsewhere.) She pointed out on a diagram where our room... More

we we stayed for one night, our large room was ok, but looked tierd and therefore items like the capet did not look very clean, it needed a make over, the staff were pleasant, the breakfast was one of the worst on our OZ trip

Stayed 2 nights, 1 week apart. Rooms were very comfortable and clean. Best part was the restaurant, both nights all meals were excellent especially for the kids, who are fussy eaters. Well worth the stay, just for the food.
