Kookaburras Backpackers is a motel style accommodation with lots of space. Dorms and various room types are available. Rooms are split into several units. Each unit has a shared bathroom and kitchen which means that there are not many people queueing up to use the facilities. Outside each unit is a table and chairs. This set up makes the atmosphere really sociable as you can get to know your neighbours.
The double rooms are large and bright with a TV and fridge. The kitchens and bathroom are really clean. A laundry is available for guest use.
Kookaburras is in a good location, just a couple of blocks opposite the transit centre on the main street through Katherine. The Greyhound buses arrive at the centre and you can also get a transfer to the Ghan train there. The main street is where you will find a supermarket, bottleshop, and restaurants.
A free breakfast of tea/coffee and pancakes is included in the price. The owners have recently taken over the hostel and are really friendly and helpful. The Kookaburra has a really great sociable atmosphere, but is not too raucous if you need to get some sleep.
