Top class accommodation.

We stayed at the Saltbush Retreat for three nights in a slab hut and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. A lot of detail has gone into the presentation and comfort inside and out. It's position is handy to the Qantas Museum and the Stockman Hall of fame. Thank you to the management of Saltbush Retreat for making our trip to Longreach so memorable.

We really enjoyed the friendly service provided by Wendy at check-in after a long drive and throughout our stay. We were even invited to enjoy a hot tub experience under the stars which was a highlight. Wendy provided an additional roller bed at no additional cost, as my partner had trouble sleeping. We felt comfortable and at home here at Saltbush Retreat. We definitely recommend this property. Thanks, Murray and Liz
