Daly Waters Pub — Restaurant in Northern Territory

Spent 1night there. $36 for a powered site. Couldn't book in advance and had to take pot luck if anything was available but there is lots of space. Was so busy and full of caravans but got a powered site and it was so good there.

Had dinner in the pub, paid my gold donation so I could staple a couple photos of myself and my horses on to the bar (look to the right hand corner of the bar :) )

The dinner we had was chicken schnitzel with salad and it was huge. Got a doggy bag to take some back to the van for lunch the following day, was pretty nice. The entertainment on the night was a couple singing. They were really good and the song selection was good. Really enjoyed ourselves there.

The pub staff were all fantastic. Professional, working damn hard to bring our food out to us all but very nice at the same time. The owner should be proud of all his workers, even down to the guy on the quad bike directing us to our parking spot with our camper van when we first arrived, he was just really nice to talk to and gave us the time and day regardless that he was so busy. Toilets and showers are ok, have seen worse but lots here to choose from.

The town/pub is about 3 km off the highway. When you drive in it is like stepping back in time with cows and a goat roaming the street. Would definitely come back if ever i was down...

Purely informational for people considering staying here with small children or animals. We booked a pet friendly room, upon arriving and entering the cabin it was obvious they had recently set off a bug bomb or at the very least sprayed what smelled like an entire can of bug spray. I couldn’t have stayed there myself let alone expose my family and pets to that. We were in the room for less than 30 seconds before kindly requesting a refund. We were told this would be actioned by the office the following morning. I’m not sure if there was a communication misunderstanding between the person we spoke to and whoever was on duty in the office this morning but our request for a refund has been denied. If the room wasn’t full of noxious fumes we would have happily stayed there. This review is not to be a jerk or put down a business, simply letting others know the possibility of strong pest control fumes so they can weigh up if they can deal with that. We are out $200 due to no fault of our own. I wish this business the best going forward and hope they will consider changing their use of toxic chemicals in confined spaces where pets and young children...

2025 - The second caravan has the toilets inoperative … none working A New and improved laundry with at least 6 washing machines and 4 dryers or attached drying area for clothes should be done invested or upgraded.. The second caravan park area lacks shades and trees so an intelligent re-think of the reuse of used and septic waters for irrigation of new planted trees (fast growing)would help as investment and upgrade … An upgrade on some units or old houses to be used as two room or one room to rent with the same aspect as the original village would return a good cash and it is a improvement to be done in future Staff Some staff needs to be more friendly and should be motivated to treat clients as they want and expect after they walk around at arrival and feel the Daly waters “spirit” … a kind of free and hippie love and peace far west mood and lifestyle But some staff are there just doing it for the job ignoring they are the real actors of the Dally Waters Spirit so they need to learn how be less robotic and factory minded … Hope it will last for more 100 years Daly...
