Ron the manager was excellent. We extended our stay and upgraded to the stables….he organised his team to move all our stuff into the new room and it was ready by 1030. The artesian outdoor bath tubs were a fantastic surprise. Perfectly located….been travelling for 2 weeks and this was best place we stayed.

We stayed in one of the 10 Slab Huts, very rustic but comfortable. Close to tourist locations with QANTAS Founders across road and Stockmans Hall of Fame both within short walking distance. The only drawback would be the traffic noise from highway with road trains travelling 24/7.
