Totally wonderful experience. Make it for sunset on the verandah, watch the sunset over the desert. Dinner was delicious, and the dining room graced with artworks by local artists, and coffee table books in the area nearby. Great attention to detail throughout, and our regular room had plenty of room, and was incredibly comfortable. Though a treat in the desert, it's understated style makes for a very enjoyable stay, though its somewhat surreal when you head out in the am as you really are in the middle of nowhere!

We booked looking for solitude and quiet.. 10/10 ! If you can't live without the net or your phone, it will take some adjusting (it’s very worth it), short drive to get back online if you need. Kelly was a good communicator and easy to deal with.

A real oasis with great rooms, friendly staff and good food. A great stopover or base for exploring the Flinders. Unique

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.

Absolutely spectacular! So good we went back 2 days later! Great use of local ingredients. Stunning food. Exceptional beer! This pub could get away with being above average and still do reasonable business….but it is up there with any high quality food in Adelaide or Melbourne and the setting is second to none! Hats off! We’ll be back.

Destination outback pub … but when you get here the car park is full of cars and the pub is weirdly gastro … mechanise shop and shiny beer brew set up (although I read they don’t actually brew their beer 🤷‍♂️). Still, the drive here is great and the building is fantastic. The food is where we were let down. We ordered: - haloumi … not exactly an outback classic but it was great. Highlight of our food. - kangaroo tail … in a sweet and sour sauce … very tasty but too sweet and a bit 🤷‍♂️ - feral mixed grill …. This is the house specialty … and pretty much why we drove there. I’m very sad to say … give it a miss. It’s small and expensive and not good. The kangaroo is delicious but two tiny tiny tiny pieces. The emu rissole is nice but dry and nothing says “emu”. The camel sausage is just five spice. With a couple of glasses of wine $160. Would I go again? Yes if it was at the end of a drive. No if it was the point of the drive. Either way I wouldn’t order the fmg again which is very disappointing to say.

What a fantastic 2 night stay at this welcoming lodge! The staff were all outstanding with amazing service.. Thanks to Ellie, Millie, Becky and Charlotte who made us feel so welcome. Fun, friendly and remembered our drinks, our names etc.. our room also so comfortable with fluffy towels, amazing comfy bed and beautiful toiletries. Food was delicious and atmosphere both in the bar and out by the fire was exactly what an outback holiday should be! We will be back!!

We stayed here overnight, the staff were so friendly. In fact everyone was super friendly. The room was big and the bed really comfortable and warm. The beers were great and the meals delicious. Keep a look out for the secret drawer, with many great stories.

What a beautiful lunch experience. Food, beers brewed on site and South Australian wines were all excellent. Staff welcoming and helpful. The hotel has been lovingly renovated and the long table where we ate is a great spot. Artwork in all the eating spaces adds great ambience. So worth the effort getting here for the experience.
