Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Good spot to stop at after a long drive. Clean, bit rundown, when it's only for the night it's good. Pool was lovely and clean, meals were huge. Loved the camel, rooster and emus.

Stayed here last night. Fine overnight stop. We stayed unpowered. Large flat area out back. Had dinner in Tavern, pricey for quality but large meals. We shared after seeing size coming out of kitchen! Facilities fine. Yes petrol expensive but hey captive audience so it...is what it is. We stay overnight again.More

Plenty of unpowered space to camp. Resident camel & emu are friendly & interesting. Happy hour (6pm) is popular. Food is awesome & reasonably priced! Tavern staff are super friendly& helpful. Amenities are clean. Laundry facilities on site. Pool available. Small supermarket. A great stopover...between Alice Springs & Coober Pedy. Recommend this stay totally!More

We are staying here but did not have any fresh produce for our lunch so we called over to the restaurant to pick something quick up. I chose a spring roll and my husband a medium chips. the spring roll was ok but the chips...were a bit ordinary. I was going to choose dim sims but at $3.50 per dim sim I decided to give this a miss.More

Stopped for a quick lunch at the Erldunda Roadhouse Restaurant on our journey from Uluru to Alice Springs. Erldunda is about the half-way point. Had a sausage roll, chips, rocky road brownie & soda. Was good and served its purpose. Erldunda is considered to be...the geographic center of Australia -- "The Centre of the Centre". Has a large pen of emus, which you can feed.More

Always stop on a road trip even just to look at the odd stuff on offer for tourist. Some very funny stuff. Friendly chirpy staff clearly enjoying themselves. Good coffee nice sandwich a good place to fuel up car and human.

Camped for one night, could pick our own site due to being wet season. Still a few travellers staying. Pool was lovely & cold. Great to take a dip in at the end of a days drive. Showers had cold water which was perfect. Grabbed...a large coffee from roadhouse the next morning & it was great. Just as good as city cafes. They have a camel & emus, great for kids as you can feed them.More

There were quite a few staff in the roadhouse but no one seemed to get anything done. One poor customer collected something from the heated food area and then gave up trying to pay for it and returned it. The coffee was bad and the...atmosphere even worse. Avod if you are in need of a snack and coffee.More

the location is central to Uluru and Kings Canyon. We stayed 2 nights and drove firstly to the Rock and then the second day to Kings Canyon. Both all sealed roads of about 2 plus hours. Budget accommodation at a reasonable price. Basic motel type...rooms but suitable for a road trip and after a solid day of trekking. Fit for purpose.More

Considering close to middle of nowhere in deep outback, this is an excellent road house. Emu enclosure and Kangaroo firm will rejuvenate any tried kids on the roads, we loved them. The restaurant is not bad at all for outback standard. However, the coffee is...at dissatisfactory level while the food was just okay kind - we noticed majority of servers are Europeans. not Aussie actually which probably explains the lack of love a coffee lover Aussie barista would have!More
