The hotel has lost some of its charm after renovations although some may be impressed by the new bar. The stay was spoiled by the loud people in the next room with offensive language. The menu retains its interesting feral options but the remainder would be better if it concentrated on basic Australian staples. Breakfast was very limited in choices.

Other than the food in the hotel restaurant which was good, the room in the hotel was in the 1950's style. Many cracks on the walls, a few spiders on the high ceiling of the room, no refrigerator and the air conditionned was not powerfull enough to cool down the room temperature (it was 36 C outside) even though it was at 18 C with the fan at maximum. I did not sleep well, the room was too warm. Although the hotel is the only establishment in this town, I do not recommend this hotel.

Not much more can be expected from a place this far out in the Outback. We were very pleasantly surprised and completely satisfied with our stay. From what we saw of other places an hour or so down the road either way, we made a great choice. I'd recommend this to anyone.

Great find in the outback and good base for exploring the Northern Flinders. Website booking for guest numbers didn’t equate with accomodation bedding for some unexplained reason. Lucky we didn’t need the beds in the end.

A unique experience
It is a unique place. Famous for "feral food" - they serve a mixed grill of emu. kangaroo and camel - they also had a goat curry. Whiting and beef cheeks also available. Front bar serves as entry and meeting place. The heritage rooms are truly old ?18ft ceilings, sculptured wood chandelier and 3 wooden doves (remember the flying ducks?) on the wall. Well maintained. The bathroom maybe a touch too nostalgic - good loo, hot water but shower over the bath. Lovely sitting room. Well worth the effort. No grass - spinifex - quite desert like. Wonderful view of the Flinders Rangers - for many miles on the way.
