The whole experience exceeded our expectations. The room was beautiful, very comfortable, with a great bathroom, and there was a whole private lounge area for hotel guests. The food, drinks and service were excellent. It was a welcome oasis in the desert and we’d love to go back again.

We booked looking for solitude and quiet.. 10/10 ! If you can't live without the net or your phone, it will take some adjusting (it’s very worth it), short drive to get back online if you need. Kelly was a good communicator and easy to deal with.

We spent 3 days in the Flinders Ranges and not being experienced in camping, chose the Prairie as our base. We loved staying here! The hotel is so comfortable, clean and perfect for a good night’s rest after a long day out on the road. The food is delicious and worth trying their feral antipasto. Breakfast is included and it was delicious with plenty of options (continental and cooked). We were very well looked after by Ellie, Becky and Manny who were always friendly, up for a chat and very helpful with tips on how best to get around the area. Definitely recommend staying here and we’d definitely come back.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel has lost some of its charm after renovations although some may be impressed by the new bar. The stay was spoiled by the loud people in the next room with offensive language. The menu retains its interesting feral options but the remainder would be better if it concentrated on basic Australian staples. Breakfast was very limited in choices.

Other than the food in the hotel restaurant which was good, the room in the hotel was in the 1950's style. Many cracks on the walls, a few spiders on the high ceiling of the room, no refrigerator and the air conditionned was not powerfull enough to cool down the room temperature (it was 36 C outside) even though it was at 18 C with the fan at maximum. I did not sleep well, the room was too warm. Although the hotel is the only establishment in this town, I do not recommend this hotel.

Not much more can be expected from a place this far out in the Outback. We were very pleasantly surprised and completely satisfied with our stay. From what we saw of other places an hour or so down the road either way, we made a great choice. I'd recommend this to anyone.

Great find in the outback and good base for exploring the Northern Flinders. Website booking for guest numbers didn’t equate with accomodation bedding for some unexplained reason. Lucky we didn’t need the beds in the end.
