Pros:

Didn't use the breakfast, but the location was good & easy to find. We were on our way up to the Flinders Ranges & decided to break our trip. We had dinner in the attached hotel part which was lovely.

Cons:

The beds were OK, but could have been a bit more comfortable.

Poor communication and service.
Pros:

The location was good. The beds were comfy and the unit was clean and tidy.

Cons:

We stayed twice- on our way to Marree and on our way back. On the night of our first stay the power went out when we turned on the kettle but it came back on again.
The second stay all units were booked and the power went out at 9 pm. Myself and a guest from another unit checked a meter box in the old building and there was no tripped meter. The hotel was completely closed up. It wasn't until 630 am in the morning when that i thought to look up online contact details to call. Power was then put back on at 7 am. There was another meter box behind the building that had tripped.
I requested a refund as we were not going to stay a second night. The manager did not reply to two emails or texts I sent regarding a request for a refund, though he has stated in my other review that he could get back to me privately. This has not happened. This is dishonest communication.
I am writing this so others are aware.

Crap
Pros:

The general staff were very good and helpful

Cons:

Got there and was told no food service in the pub. Management didn’t seem too bothered. Hadn’t bothered to tell us before we arrived. No freezer and fridge in room was broken. No other place available to eat so went to local supermarket and bought frozen food and cooked with microwave.
No hot water in the morning for a wash.

disappointing
Pros:

We stayed in a unit at the back of the hotel. It was clean, tidy and neat and beds were comfy. Breakfast dining area was good.

Cons:

All units had no power from 9 pm until staff fixed it around 7am. Seems the meter box is easily triggered if someone switches on a kettle etc.
Have sent two emails requesting a refund as we didn't want to stay there the second night but no reply from the manager. Poor communication.
Will not be staying there again.

Pros:

I was quite impressed with the History & retention of some of the Character features and the little extras of complimentary shampoo, conditioner and soap in natural products & complements the Region's History with Native Australian plants 🪴 etc

Cons:

There were quite a few Black ants 🐜 up & around the shower to the shower 🚿 head looked like they were going for the water?
