Pine Creek Railway Resort

Top choice in Northern Territory


This charming hotel uses raw iron, steel and wood in its modern rooms, which are easily the best for quite a distance in any direction. The dining area has been designed with romantic rail journeys of yore in mind; it's a scene-stealer with pressed-tin ceilings and elaborate chandeliers.

The menu (mains $19 to $30) is, however, modern, with steaks, pasta, ribs and risotto on offer.
