We stayed at the Tin House. Great fire pit but spa bath shown in the photo on the website was not a spa, rather a corner bath. Fantastic location but inadequate cooking facilities and crockery and cups for a cup of tea. $15 for one beer at the restaurant. Overall, average but could be Excellent with a few changes. Review from local Alice Springs resident!

We rode our bikes from Alice Springs and booked 3 cabins. They were clean, warm and comfortable. We used the Bbq area and the staff were friendly and very helpful. We had an amazing stay and will do it again

Dysfunctional
Absolutely dysfunctional. We turned up and they didn't even know we had a booking. The place was a mess. We did not stay. Total shambles.

Nothing short of exceptional! The property is stunning, the owners are warm and hospitable, the food is delicious and the cabin had a comfortable bed, air conditioning and all the amenities you could need! Couldn’t recommend the station enough for an authentic outback station experience with the comforts and thoughtful touches. We will return again one day!

The accommodation was unique. The road to the tin hut from the homestead could be improved. Staff were lovely. Complimentary bush breakfast (damper and jam) would be a nice addition to the experience. Amazing sunset and rock formations everywhere. Enjoyed our stay.

We had a fantastic stay in the log cabin. We stayed in winter and the indoor fire was great. The walks around the property are wonderful and we enjoyed dinner there too. Take the road in slow and steady and you'll love it!

Stunning location with unique cabins. Be wary of driving there if you’re not in a 4WD, especially if it’s a rental.
