It was a unique experience. Outdoor baths were a treat, but our bed was a bit saggy. Close to Stockmans Hall of fame and Qantas museum but too far to walk to town.

Outdoor bath unique. Level of good service from a managers unique to similar properties. Did not like the very poor sound proofing between attached cabin. Did not like that cottages were so cramped in together and little privacy from others walking by.

We stayed in the Slab Huts, they were a very authentic feeling replication of slab timbered, but with insulated corrugated iron roofed huts, very roomy with great facilities and gave a true feeling of outback history. They were large and extremely comfortable and exactly what was portrayed on their website. We totally commend the operators who went out of their way to make our stay memorable.

Exceptional accomodation! We receied a free upgrade to the stable accomodation. Fully self contained with a Nespresso Coffee machine. Everything was spotlessly clean. Great to relax in the artisuan outdoor bath in the bush setting. Owners have done everything to make their guests stay memorable. A must stay in Longreach.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay here. First of all, it is just across the road from the Qantas museum, and a short walk from the Stockman's Hall of Fame. The day we visited, the latter was closed because of the Longreach Show holiday, so we went there instead. I loved the "slab hut" we stayed in. So rustic and unique, yet it was clean and suitably equipped with everything one could need for a short stay. Parking was right behind where our cabin was located. Despite being next to the highway and close to the airport, we were not disturbed by any road or air traffic noise. Overall, we had a fabulous stay, and would definitely recommend it to others.

The position of our cabin was great being right away from the main highway. The cabin itself was in need of some maintenance ie dripping taps and could do with some updating but was nonetheless very comfortable. The property is in a fabulous position and within walking distance to the main attractions.
