Grass!!!! even on the unpowered sites this late in the season. Not grass that a kiwi would recognise as grass but amazing for the middle of nowhere in outback Australia. Shame no shade over the pool but still a great place and fantastic value.

What a great place in the middle of nowhere, had a slight mechanical problem and the manager tried to order parts for me but was unable to get what l needed. He sent me out the back to there own wrecking yard, where unbelievable l found the exact part l needed, back on the road within 2 hours. What a great place to stay management and staff are fantastic.

Top spot. Very surprised as this was in the middle of nowhere and even more surprised there are no comments of value. Stayed last night on an unpowered site for $12 a head but still had full shower and toilet facilities. Powered sites are awesome with grassed areas and closer to roadhouse which has food, beer and entertainment. What more can you ask for? Nice quiet shaded areas pick your own unpowered spot, covered picnic tables and even tap water. Highly recommended.

Excellent isolated tourist park. Large drive through sites. An advantage to arrive early as more shade available and artificial turf awning area…otherwise red dust, but still OK. Nice swimming pool. Some Amenities a little old but acceptable…no shelf! Great roadhouse. Good food we are told, licensed, and we can vouch for excellent coffee…a rarity in these outback roadhouses when sometimes there is none! Highly recommend.

The food is amazing. Not your usual Roadhouse greesy spoon. Easily the best place for real food like a salad and options WITHOUT chips!

stayed here twice on our visit to the NT, staff were friendly and as it was quiet we had our pick of sites. easy to access with drive through shaded sites close to the amenities. Unfortunately the pool was more on the green side with wildlife on both visitors a month apart, but with all the road closures it was probably hard to get new parts for the filter system. Good food and handy stop.

Well managed, well maintained, clean, flat sites some shady, stylish modern Australian, happy hour 4 to 5pm of $5 wine and beer. Good service and food. Nice swimming pool. Nice aviary. This place is unexpectedly good and worth $38.
