Lake Eyre Basin Hotel Guide - Hotels with Bar in Lake Eyre Basin, Australia

"The carpark in front of out accomodation was the path for indiginous people to get home from town and they were extremely loud and frankly very scary. The Reception did not have anyone in attendance any of the times I attended. I had to phone to get someone to help me. Going to the Bistro for them to call someone to Reception was a waste of time... as after a 20 minute wait no one came to assist. A poorly run establishment that I can not recommend."

"My stay.at Longreach was OK. The room was clean although looking tired, curtains stained & need to be renewed. The hosts were great people, very ameniable. I think considering where the town is one can’t expect what’s available in larger places which draw considerably more tourists."

"Rawnsley Park station superior cabins were excellent; clean; well equipped and thought out. The views were stunning and the overall facilities on the station were great. Clean communal Barbecues; fire pits with wood to purchase for use and a restaurant that also offered a takeaway menu on the nights you don’t want to cook. The location is magical and staff very friendly. The swimming pool was a hit with the children and verandahs with a view the perfect spot to watch the world go by. Don’t miss out on a Flinders Ranges Sunrise! You will love Your stay here. "

"We stayed 3 nights in March 2026. Coober Pedy is a dusty place in the outback with flies. We knew this and arrived with fly hats and average expectations with regard to the hotel. It was fun staying in a cave room, which was dusty with cave dust (we even had a small rock fall from the ceiling onto the room table when we were in bed! All part of the experience). We tried the food in the hotel which wasn't great so ventured out and tried a few different local eateries. The hotel pool was clean & secure and very welcome at the end of a hot day. Coober Pedy is a very small town. There's an IGA, restaurants and a few tourist things to do within walking distance of the hotel. Felt pretty safe. Unfortunately for us the Breakaways was closed due to wet weather & unsafe to drive but we went up to the Winch 360 within Coober Pedy town instead to see a nice sunset. There is an outdoor cinema which only operates on Saturdays and we missed that but thought it would've been fun. Also, no orphaned kangeroos to visit when we were there but guess that's a good thing."
