While we checked in after hours management was available by house phone at the entrance and gave us instructions for getting the cabin key as well as a nice map to the cabin. He also recommended a nice restaurant in the city center.

A Great Place to Visit and Stay
Wonderful one night stay. Nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in a comfortable 2 bedroom unit with ample supply of milk for coffees etcetera. Flexible arrival and departure times. Told us of restaurants that offered a free pickup and drop off service for dinner. Like them I can highly recommend the Birdcage Hotel as a great place to eat. For those who want to stay in there was a beautifully clean BBQ area and pool A family owned business that goes that extra mile In all the Saltbush Retreat was a great place to visit and stay!

This place is a must if you are spending time in Longreach. Our family of four stayed in a Slab Hut which was extremely clean, very comfortable and had absolutely everything we needed for our stay. The whole place had a really nice feel and the hosts were so friendly and inviting. Could not fault this place and will be visiting in the future.
