Fantastic
Absolutely gorgeous. Friendly check in. The stable theme is perfect. Room is large. Bed huge. Located exactly between Qantas Founders and Stockman’s Hall of fame. Smithy’s Outback Dinner Cruise pick up at the gate. What more could you want.

Great in every way
This is a great location. Across the road from the QANTAS Founders Outback Museum and down the road from Outback Hall of Fame. We stayed in the stables. Great for small family. The slab huts also looked good but where unavailable for the nights we needed.

Cramped, misleading photo of seating area
Quiet enough and. In reasonable condition but no seating other than on the bed, or the bottom bunk to watch TV. Would have been cramped for space if children were actually using the bunks. Photo shows two chairs, not there, in our cabin there were 2 bunks.

The only issue was a terrible smell in the air at night so you couldn’t sit outside on the verandah at the slab huts.

Spacious and clean. Comfortable bed. Has a kitchen but no other dining and if you don’t have transport you are not close to town, lucky some restaurants have free pick ups.
