Australia“Everything about it was beautiful, the bath under the stars was great, the room was beautiful & had a real country charm.” - Owen Australia“Owners went out of their way. We came to Longreach by train so didnt have a car. They dropped/picked us up at various locations if too far to walk.”
- Jenny Australia“It was in a great location, easy to find and beautifully done”
Marc Australia“Location is good - about 25min walk to town along a safe path & 5mins walk to the Qantas museum. The pick-up service from the airport is a nice touch.

Aussie Australia“Great place to stay in Longreach and we would suspect the best by far. Log cabins are fantastic - not much more we can say that has not been said to be honest. Do yourself a favour and stay and make sure you use the baths :)”- Susan Australia“Super comfy beds and close proximity (walking distance) to Qantas founders museum and Stockman's Hall of Fame. Great outdoor claw foot bath tubs.”
