I have been staying at the Outback as a tour operator for more than 10 years. My customers have always found it very comfortable - the rooms are large, always clean and quiet. The meals are all home cooked by the hostess and the menu offers a choice of dishes you would not expect in a small country town. Always... More

We travelled with Jingo and stayed with Mick & Jenny Webb at the Outback Chapmanton Motel as part of our tour through the Flinders Ranges. The room was really spacious, the biggest we'd had all trip, it was spotlessly clean, well fitted out. Mick and Jingo were a wealth of information over a couple of beers before a sumptuous meal....

Restaurant at this motel has now closed without notice and the only option in town is the pub (good food but cannot cope with demand - queues for tables). Room spacious and clean. Managers disappeared on holiday weekend night and relief staff unable to manage a problem with the water (we resolved it ourselves after enquiring in town). Manager gave... More

I found Outback Chapmantons to be a lovely experience with restaurant quality meals and friendly service. The rooms in our units were neat, clean, spacious and well decorated. Laundry facilities provided were in good condition. I found advice on places to visit was helpful.

We had travelled through the outback for 2 weeks and this was a welcome find. The room was really spacious, the biggest we'd had all trip, it was spotlessly clean, well fitted out and the hosts, Mick & Jenny Webb were obliging, friendly and helpful. A very comfortable stay, plenty of pillows and bedding, and a very competitive price. I... More

Had pre booked a unit so there was no excuse for unit 3 not being prepared properly. Some of the curtains were not hanging on the curtain rings so first impressions were that it was rather neglegted. The freezer door was broken it needed defrosting and there was no ice tray provided. The kitchen table was sticky so hadn't been... More

This place is hopeless and not even particularly cheap. The website advertised an on-site restaurant - on arrival we found it to be closed. The rooms are a fair size but old fashioned and cheaply furnished. The a/c unit mounted over the bed makes so much noise that you can't sleep with it on and the fridge (balanced on top... More

This place, is definitely the pick of the bunch in a small-ish country town. The owner Mick was a real character and made our visit memorable. A true aussie, down to earth, genuine bloke, who let us connect with the outback. The hotel units (we stayed in these) were a stroll down the road and were clean, quiet and well... More
