Drove an hour from Roxby Downs for something different with friends, well it certainly was that :-( Half the menu was not available, and what was available was fast becoming unavailable. They messed up the order despite having gone thru it to confirm it was correct and then delivered one less meal. Why do you ask how we would like... More

The hotel room, although basic, is clean and comfortable. The ensuite bathroom is big and I enjoyed the loveliest hot shower of my trip to the outback. The trick is to remember to press the red button when it is on.. this heats up the water. It says on the displayed instructions that it takes 2 hours to heat the... More

Pre-dinner drinks were able to be had from the bar and consumed out on their balcony,. Although not being smokers, we did notice the "trapped" cig smoke and overflowing ash trays. The meals were of a good choice, well prepared and promptly served and the staff very pleasant and helpful. More

Woomera holds memories for many Australians, Americans and Europeans from the rocket projects in the 60' and 70's so the fact that the Eldo is from another era (building wise) is part of it's charm and appeal. Could not complain about the cleanliness, tidiness and comfort. The facilities were great given the normally stark and harsh contrast with the surrounding... More

We stayed at the Eldo hotel in Woomera on the way to Coober Pedy. Although the hotel rooms were very basic and dated (unless you like besser brick), the bistro attached to the hotel was a nice surprise. Recently refurbished, nice bistro area, and the best pool table we found on our trip, but the highlight was the garlic prawns.... More

Not a lot of choice in Woomera! The main "hotel" building is simply a reception area and restaurant/bar; accommodation is in refurbished rooms in ex-government built blocks scattered up to 10 mins walk away. Its more like living in military accomodation. However, the rooms are not bad, are en-suite and have self catering for those that want it. Most of... More
