What guests think
At Winnellie Hotel Motel, guests report a no-frills stay near the airport and camper depots, with contactless access and an on-site pub, suiting brief stopovers in an industrial area but less ideal for those wanting a central hotel.
Rooms are basic to newly renovated, with many praising clean interiors, comfortable beds, strong showers, and effective air conditioning. Drawbacks include thin walls and bar or area noise, occasional maintenance or cleanliness issues, limited or unavailable meals with few nearby options, and no elevator or help with luggage. Service feedback is mixed: friendly when encountered, but reception is frequently unattended and entry can be confusing. Best for a practical overnight stop.

It is unusual at Hotel.com to have a hotel connected to a bar. What makes it inappropriate is that the bar offers a striptease show inside the bar. You can imagine the crowd of guys in the bar and on the hotel parking lot before the show begins. While you access your hotel room thanks to a "safe that contains your key", and a code to enter the reception area, there is an OPEN DOOR in the reception area of the hotel that connects the bar to the hotel. The reception is unattended, which is a potential security breach.

So, I did not know that this was a pub... On arrival, at 6pm reception closed, had to check in at bar of pub full of rowdy men - kind of disconcerting for woman staying solo. Room was noisy (due to pub downstairs). Bathroom nicely renovated but muddy footprint in shower meant obviously not cleaned. Room itself wasn't bad, but crack in wall beneath aircon had been patched and pained though not whole wall painted so looked dreadful. Fresh towels were left, and sheet pulled up on bed day 2 but rubbish bins left full. Man at bar who checked me in was friendly and very helpful. Though I wouldn't stay here again.

I t is an old motel in an industrial area. We are in our 80’s but she didn’t offer help to lug our luggage up steep, narrow stairs. We looked at menu in room and went down for dinner. Sorry no meals today. Nothing in the area a supermarket a couple kms away. The next morning the taxi to airport cost $30 because we had to drive half way back to turn around for hwy. Terrible experience

First impressions of this Hotel were not good, it looked dirty and people were smoking at the Lounge Door. We were thinking we might walk away and go somewhere else, but decided to have a look seeing we were there. It is in an Industrial Area where machinery starts up at 6am. To our surprize the motel was spacious and pleasant but we had to defrost the freezer to enable us to put things in. It was very noisy with people coming and going at all hours, and the band was loud on Thurs, Fri. nights.

This is one of the last workman's bar and motels in Darwin. It is situated in the industrial area. It has a drive through bottle shop and sports bar that can make a toasted sandwich but take aways / restaurants are a drive away. Close to the airport. Easy to get to get the keys and access to the room. The room had comfy beds and a very good strong shower.

Pick up of keys were straightforward. The room was basic but clean and functional. The beds did not come with duvets (just sheets) and water pressure was weak. The walls are very thin so expect loads of noise in the morning when people are moving out. But works perfectly as a brief overnight stay before or after a flight.

There are no staff present to check you in or out, but you get your key from a safe and use a code to get in the front door, which ended up being ok. Place is more run down than the look in the pictures, but I guess you get what you pay for.

We arrived at 1am, tired but optimistic, ready to execute the clearly laid-out instructions from the hotel. Step one: retrieve envelope from the safe. Nailed it. Step two: read said envelope. We got cocky. "Surely this keycard is for the front door," we thought. Swipe. Denied. Swipe again. Denied. The front door sighed, locked us out for 10 minutes, and probably judged us. Fair. Once we regained entry and our dignity, things went uphill fast. The room was generously sized, the bed was delightfully comfy, and the hotel was perfectly located—just a short stumble from Apollo Campers, which was our morning mission. The pillows were enthusiastic overachievers in the fluff department—great if you're into neck elevation, less so if you sleep like a pancake. Bonus quirk: flipped a power point above the bed (not a light switch) in the morning and—ta-da!—the TV and aircon fired up in unison like they'd been waiting for their cue in a Broadway number. All in all, a solid stay with a few laughs at our own expense. Would stay again (and read the envelope next time).

This is one of the last workman's bar and motels in Darwin. It is situated in the industrial area. It has a drive through bottle shop and sports bar that can make a toasted sandwich but take aways / restaurants are a drive away. Close to the airport. Easy to get to get the keys and access to the room. The room had comfy beds and a very good strong shower.

We arrived at 1am, tired but optimistic, ready to execute the clearly laid-out instructions from the hotel. Step one: retrieve envelope from the safe. Nailed it. Step two: read said envelope. We got cocky. "Surely this keycard is for the front door," we thought. Swipe. Denied. Swipe again. Denied. The front door sighed, locked us out for 10 minutes, and probably judged us. Fair. Once we regained entry and our dignity, things went uphill fast. The room was generously sized, the bed was delightfully comfy, and the hotel was perfectly located—just a short stumble from Apollo Campers, which was our morning mission. The pillows were enthusiastic overachievers in the fluff department—great if you're into neck elevation, less so if you sleep like a pancake. Bonus quirk: flipped a power point above the bed (not a light switch) in the morning and—ta-da!—the TV and aircon fired up in unison like they'd been waiting for their cue in a Broadway number. All in all, a solid stay with a few laughs at our own expense. Would stay again (and read the envelope next time).

Dining
On-site meals are inconsistent: some guests enjoyed tasty food, but others found no meals available at times (including Sundays) and few nearby options; the sports bar offers simple items like toasted sandwiches.

So, I did not know that this was a pub... On arrival, at 6pm reception closed, had to check in at bar of pub full of rowdy men - kind of disconcerting for woman staying solo. Room was noisy (due to pub downstairs). Bathroom nicely renovated but muddy footprint in shower meant obviously not cleaned. Room itself wasn't bad, but crack in wall beneath aircon had been patched and pained though not whole wall painted so looked dreadful. Fresh towels were left, and sheet pulled up on bed day 2 but rubbish bins left full. Man at bar who checked me in was friendly and very helpful. Though I wouldn't stay here again.

I t is an old motel in an industrial area. We are in our 80’s but she didn’t offer help to lug our luggage up steep, narrow stairs. We looked at menu in room and went down for dinner. Sorry no meals today. Nothing in the area a supermarket a couple kms away. The next morning the taxi to airport cost $30 because we had to drive half way back to turn around for hwy. Terrible experience

Staff were very helpful and friendly. It would have been good to know they do not have food available on Sundays. Was convenient to the airport.
