We stayed in one of the slab huts which was delightful with many touches harking back to pioneer days. It was comfortable and well spaced from neighbouring huts. I highly recommend this lovely resort.

Great holiday stay

Comfortable & spacious for our 5 nights, convenient location & good amenities. Longreach is very hot in summer so we appreciated the quiet, cool cabin to escape to.
Gina, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Saltbush is a lovely quiet place about 2kms out of town. We just stayed in a cabin which was ok but pretty basic. Just needs towel rails in bathroom. Having now seen inside a slab hut, I would be tempted to stay in one of those. Cabin was clean and comfy. Were glad for the extra 2 blankets on the first night as we didn't put heating on. Ron, the manager kindly picked us up from the train stn. Saltbush is walking distance to Qantas museum and Stockman's Hall of Fame which was great. There is no transport (unless you have a car) from Saltbush. We got taxi into town first day ($15) and grabbed some supplies. Then each evening we got the courtesy bus from the Birdcage hotel to pick us up and drop us back. Shame Saltbush doesn't do a couple of courtesy runs into town, say 10am and 2pm which would be great. We still had a great time. Lovely place to stay. Highly recommend.

Amazing! Staff were fantastic, property was beautiful. Inside our cabin was clean and fresh with the air con on for us. Was the only place we felt comfortable using the bedding supplied in our entire trip across Australia! Reception also has giftware that was affordable. I bought a bullwhip for $180 and is of high quality. Would definitely stay here again!!
