Trish gave us a room when we arrived late and allowed us to eat from the bistro (it was Sunday night, so only Bistro offered), where heaps of people had already booked in, and served a delicious home cooked roast. She went out of her way to see we were cared for. I absolutely recommend this place as a real find in the outback. Trish and staff offer a warm welcome.

Enjoyable, well priced meals ranging from fresh Barramundi, Oysters, Salmon or a Steak. Good drink options and a nice setting, sitting in the garden was particularly relaxing. Service was very good, definitely worth a visit.

This is a real gem of the outback. Great meals and great prices. The servings are very generous. Had the crumbed steak and could not finish it. Staff are very friendly and nice atmosphere. Would highly recommend.
