I had a great experience at the roadhouse, which turned out to be a bit of a gem in the outback. The rooms were spacious and clean, and I appreciated the friendly staff, who were always ready to help. The bar and dining options exceeded my expectations, though the bar could have had slightly more variety. Overall, it’s an excellent spot for a family road trip, with plenty of features for kids, but there were a few small issues that kept it from being perfect.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the location is perfect for a stopover on the way to explore the Red Centre, the rooms need some serious attention, particularly regarding maintenance and odors. I did appreciate having breakfast included, but the overall experience didn’t quite meet my expectations due to cleanliness issues in the room and management not addressing my concerns.

Rooms

The room had a sulphur smell, and I discovered sewer gas coming from the toilet seal. It was not a pleasant experience. Although there was a fridge and basic amenities, the smell really overshadowed the stay.

The bistro meal I had was excellent, and breakfast was complimentary, which was a nice touch, but the lack of attention to detail elsewhere made it feel like a mixed experience.

Some repairs need to be made, especially regarding the floors, which creaked a lot and prevented me from sleeping well. However, basic amenities were present.

I found this roadhouse to be a surprisingly lovely stop along my journey. The atmosphere was welcoming, and while the rooms were clean and comfortable, they could definitely use some updates. The food options were somewhat limited, especially for a vegetarian like me, and it was disappointing that there wasn't more variety available for breakfast. Overall, I appreciated the friendly service and the unique location in the desert, though it felt a bit pricey for what was offered.

Rooms

Service

The staff were polite and very helpful, especially in providing information about Uluru and Kings Canyon. They seemed to be a bit overworked, but they managed to keep a positive attitude.

Location

The roadhouse is right in the center of Australia, which makes it a unique stop with beautiful sunset views. However, it’s quite far from other amenities, which adds to the feeling of isolation.

Dining

The dining experience was decent, but the limited options for vegetarians made it a bit frustrating. I think they could easily improve by offering fresher items for breakfast.
