The food was delicious, hearty, and very satisfying, perfect for a relaxed meal after a day of exploring.

Location and Nearby Attractions

The resort is located on the outskirts of Broken Hill, approximately 13 km from the town centre. Broken Hill offers many fascinating attractions, with some of our favourites being the Flying Doctor Outback Heritage Experience, the Line of Load Memorial, the Palace Hotel, and Silverton, just a 30-minute drive away, a charming town to explore. Getting around is easy by car, with minimal traffic, and the town itself is clean, tidy, and welcoming.

The staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and attentive, making check-in and any inquiries effortless. They offered great recommendations for local attractions and were happy to chat, providing insider tips to make our stay even better. It was clear they work hard to maintain the resort, ensuring it remains a clean, welcoming, and exceptional place to stay.

Value for Money

We paid $173.75 per night and felt it offered excellent value for the room type we had selected. Compared to other accommodation options in Broken Hill, we felt this resort provided great comfort and convenience for the price.

Would we Stay Again?

Absolutely yes, we can’t wait to return! Next time, we’d love to try the campground and stay in a caravan, but even if we don’t, the studio-style accommodation is fantastic. The rooms are comfortable, well-equipped, and provide everything you need for a relaxing stay. We would happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Broken Hill.
