I had an amazing stay, enjoying the friendly service, clean amenities, and the unique experience of seeing animals like camels and emus nearby. The location provided a good base for our trip to Uluru, and my kids loved the pool. However, the rooms could use some updates, and there were a lot of guests during our visit, which made getting around a bit tricky at times.

This roadhouse is a great pit stop along the way to Uluru, offering a clean and spacious environment. I enjoyed the meals and the friendly service, especially from Paul at the bar. The basic rooms were comfortable for the price, though they had some creaky floors. The dining experience was good but could be improved with a broader menu. Overall, it's a convenient choice with a memorable atmosphere, especially for families.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of ups and downs. On the positive side, it was a great stop for a much-needed rest after a long drive, and I enjoyed the hearty egg and bacon sandwich at the roadhouse. However, the room I stayed in had a strong unpleasant smell, which really put a damper on my experience. I also noticed some noise coming from neighboring rooms, which could be disruptive. Overall, I'd say it's a decent option for a quick stop, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

I had a memorable stay at this unique outback roadhouse. The room was clean and comfortable, making for a peaceful night, although it did feel a bit basic and outdated. I enjoyed the lively atmosphere of the tavern where they served solid pub grub. The location is excellent for travelers heading to Uluru, making it a convenient stop. On the downside, the tavern could get quite noisy, and I found the water situation a bit tricky since the tap water isn't drinkable.
