Excellent stay, a little way out of town but the shuttle service was good. Ron and Wendy were excellent host. The cabin was spacious and clen. Just a 5 minute walk to Qantas museum, and Australian Stockmans Hall of fame.

We only stayed one night and wished we had stayed longer. They were very accomodating, i had called up to confirm our booking and mentioned that we would be arriving in Longreach at 11am, without me asking they stated they would put our cabin as a priority for cleaning and attempt to have it cleaned so we can check in at 11am, but could not guarantee that this could be done. When we dropped in on our way to the stockmans hall of fame (right next door and easily within walking distance as is the Qantas museum) at 11am just to see if we could do an early check in, our cabin had indeed been cleaned to a very high standard. You can tell the cabin is old and it creaks as you walk at night but it was still in very good shape, the bed was super comfy and we had the best sleep we had had during our whole trip. Although it was just the 2 of us staying you could easily sleep 5 comfortably. There are also 3 baths at the back of the property that you can have a soak in, bubble bath supplied if you wanted too, all you need to do is ask recpetion for some towels as bore water is used for these baths, our cabin had town water. We would definitely stay again and for longer, we have also recommended it to our friends and family who holiday this way.

If you like to revisit the past with a few luxuries this is the place to do it. True blue.. loved our slab hut, sitting on the verandah where you could chat with the neighbours if you felt inclined to do so… soaking in the bath on the deck with a wine… Ron recommended some restaurants and we chose to go out for a birthday dinner at the Branch which was excellent. Special find would like to stay longer next time…

We LOVED our stay at Saltbush - the Stables were so unique and the details were stunningly gorgeous. Ron and Wendy were impeccably helpful and friendly and made us feel very welcome. Our favourite feature of the stay was the outdoor baths which we enjoyed everyday, they are such a beautiful and interesting feature of the retreat. Location was good with Qantas Museum directly over the road. We enjoyed the walk into town along the path, too. If we find ourselves coming to Longreach again we will most definitely be staying at Saltbush again and we highly recommend to anyone for a wonderful stay!
