Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were clean and comfortable, offering a great view. The service was top-notch with a welcoming atmosphere. The location was in a beautifully decorated gallery, providing a unique and pleasant experience. However, the dining options were a bit overpriced and limited. Overall, a lovely stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel is perfectly situated, just by the old Ghan railway, in a beautifully decorated gallery. We were warmly welcomed by the manager's husband who shared his deep knowledge of the region, making us excited for our three-night stay. The hotel offers a unique experience with its prime location and lovely ambiance.
The hotel is located in the outback beside the old Ghan rail line at the Parachilna railway station, providing an upscale and peaceful desert setting away from city life. The rooms offer decent linen and a great view, while the dining experience is limited with overpriced beer options. The service includes laundry, welcome drink, and tours/ticket assistance, however, the pricing may not offer the best value for money overall.
