The location is quite good but it is so far removed from a ''resort'' that it's not funny! Very old and outdated and we could hardly wait to leave. Had two nights there which was two nights too many.

An authentic outback mining town experience with some magic curiosities and an outstanding experience in the hot springs pool over sunset and moon rise. The First Shaft lookout is not to be missed and Stanley the Emu is just fantastic

Had a reasonable night's sleep in a comfy bed & a hot shower which meets the basic needs in a remote place. Resort is a misnoma. Rooms & public areas could do with a refresh. Rooms & grounds are spacious.
