Situated 200 meters form the banks of the iconic Fitzroy River, Willare Bridge Roadhouse is the ideal location to prepare for you journey on the Gibb River Road. Apart from offering a wide selection of local freerange Yeeda Beef and Blue Bush Lamb conveniently cryovaced, the restaurant makes fresh sandwiches, rolls and salads and has an impressive menu. The Roadhouse also offers accommodation in the form of modern demountable units (dongas) with Air Conditioning and ensuites and has a Caravan Park with full facilities including camp kitchen and laundry. The building that is now Willare Bridge Roadhouse was originally commissioned as part of the Blue Streak (missile) program. A British medium-range ballistic missile program that was test launched from Woomera, South Australia. The building was located on Anna Plains Station and used to track the progress of the missiles during test flights. With the cancellation of the project in the late 1960's the building was sold at auction and delivered to it's current location where it was initially used to house the bridge construction crews building the bridges that crossed the Fitzroy, Yeeda and Minni rivers, now known as Willare Bridge and Minni Bridge.
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We had three nights here in the caravan park, great little spot with shade and non shade depending on what you want. Facilities were great and the restaurant was also very much better than some restaurants we have been to along the way. We had the steaks and they were fabulous, cold beers and very reasonably priced wine as well. They sell Burton Beef here too to take away we bought a few kilos to stock up the van and were not disappointed all were amazing and really good prices. Staff were mainly English when we were there and all very friendly and efficient. Great spot to rest for a couple of days.

Recently moved to area, thought we would check out local roadhouse. Spoken to extremely rude by management just by asking a question. I totally understand the pressure involved in hospitality, but there was absolutely no need. Take a break

After a very long day trip to Windjarra Gorge, we stopped here for dinner. On our way out at about 10am, I had ordered chicken curry for dinner. When we arrived at 7pm for dinner, it wasn't chicken curry, it was pumpkin curry with 2 lumps of chicken. Everyone else in my group had fish and chips. I would've been happy for that if I'd known they were out of chicken curry. You had like 9 hours

Called in here for lunch on our way from Kununurra to Broome and the service was disgraceful. Employ young girls with no personality, no knowledge of what they sell & no help whatsoever - would never go back and never recommend. Roebuck roadhouse a much better solution

Arrived at Willare Bridge Roadhouse intending to stay 1 night ended up staying 5. We stayed on a grassed unpowered site, a nice change after red dirt. It had everything we needed, a restaurant delicious meals, cold cheap beer, a cafe with nice coffee, pool, clean amenities & great staff, highly recommended

Decided to stay the night after driving from Kununurra as I didn’t want to push it to get to Broome at sunset. The worst amenities I have ever seen for the camping section, to the point that I decided to avoid drinking water and just peed out bush when I really had to. The shower was covered in bugs and dirt, with left over used soaps and razors. The lawn had been moved but all the cut out grass was left over the camping grounds, which meant the mosquitos were just impossible to manage. It’s understandable that the wet season can make it harder to keep amenities clean, but this was beyond. Obviously you can’t help mozzies next to a river while it’s humid either, but again nothing was done to at least remove the grass and make it a little bit more hostile for them. The roadhouse itself is nice and the lady that attends to it could not be more friendly and helpful. Beyond that, avoid the stop for a $32 unpowered site with not even a functioning toilet.…

Stayed o/n. As expected, a very simple donga style accommodation. Was at a minimum clean with comfortable beds and a nice hot shower. Disappointed that had no electric jug to make a coffee after a long drive, the roast meal from the restaurant was only a tiny portion and unexciting and the tv did not work.

Love stopping here for meals when travelling between Kalumburu and Broome. My dogs enjoy the attention in the garden area, and the breakfast is a favourite. The cost of the meals is very reasonable I feel, especially considering the outback position. Saves a diversion into Derby, which sadly lacks cafes open for breakfast on a Sunday. The staff, too, are friendly and the service great.

Disgustingly overpriced at $38 per night. Restaurant closed at 7pm & shop at 8pm. Toilet bowl , sinks & tiled floors coated in red from the bore water! In Men’s one shower had no hot water & the other would not lock. Adjoining door to restaurant kept locked to avoid the smell so guests had to walk right around the side & back in the rain to use the toilet. There was a very limited alcoholic drink selection with no full bottles of wine only piccolos. Trees overhanging the drive were far too low for our MH. We paid $24pn , stay 2 at Lake Argyle with an Infinity Pool & individual very clean cubicles-no comparison. If we had not arrived at 5pm we would have driven the extra 130km to Roebuck Roadhouse, only 40 km from Broome. Advice is do not stay here unless absolutely necessary.
