An authentic outback mining town experience with some magic curiosities and an outstanding experience in the hot springs pool over sunset and moon rise. The First Shaft lookout is not to be missed and Stanley the Emu is just fantastic

Had a reasonable night's sleep in a comfy bed & a hot shower which meets the basic needs in a remote place. Resort is a misnoma. Rooms & public areas could do with a refresh. Rooms & grounds are spacious.

The room is badly in need of renovation. Wardrobe door was hanging off as were some of the curtains which were a bit dirty. The carpet was very grotty. Altogether not a pleasant room to stay in. However, it appeared clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower was clean and efficient. The price was a bit much for the condition of the room.

Property was a touch "dated" BUT that is understandable being the original part of town. Staff were very helpful & attentive. Hayley in particular was most helpful. Rooms were big, bed was a King & very comfortable. Facilities all functioned well. Hot water was excellent. Location to town & LRBC was great. Room was quiet & well double brick insulated. complaints !No
