Hotels with Bars / Lounges in Lake Eyre Basin

"The helicopter should have been located away from the main living complex!"

"We really rate the Burke & Wills. Its safe and very centrally located. Our go to booking when we travel to Mount Isa. The rooms are good and the beds are comfy."

"This was a very inexpensive (comparatively) hotel/motel, with a caravan park attached, which added features such as a laundry etc. You get what you pay for. This is not a 5 or4 star luxury place, and neither is the cost. I was very happy with everything about this place, but especially the helpfulness of the staff. Their next door bistro was also very moderately priced, with good quality food. "

"Office staff was very helpful in correcting my booking error. We pensionados try to keep up with the online business but sometimes make mistakes."

"Easy parking in front of room, quiet, close to cbd, but still quiet."

"Fantastic staff. Bar and restaurant were great. The burger and steak sandwich were unreal. Booked a two night stay but left after one as the were random people throughout the night drinking amd smoking outisde our room from about 1am onwards. We asked them to move or be quiet but they kept coming back. The smell from the bathroom was fairly average from the sulphur, the hotel we used the following night did not have this issue. Long great for a meal but not for a stay."

"Highly recommend. We have an EV and the staff prepared detailed instructions on charging in Broken Hill, which was greatly appreciated."

"We stayed 3 nights in March 2026. Coober Pedy is a dusty place in the outback with flies. We knew this and arrived with fly hats and average expectations with regard to the hotel. It was fun staying in a cave room, which was dusty with cave dust (we even had a small rock fall from the ceiling onto the room table when we were in bed! All part of the experience). We tried the food in the hotel which wasn't great so ventured out and tried a few different local eateries. The hotel pool was clean & secure and very welcome at the end of a hot day. Coober Pedy is a very small town. There's an IGA, restaurants and a few tourist things to do within walking distance of the hotel. Felt pretty safe. Unfortunately for us the Breakaways was closed due to wet weather & unsafe to drive but we went up to the Winch 360 within Coober Pedy town instead to see a nice sunset. There is an outdoor cinema which only operates on Saturdays and we missed that but thought it would've been fun. Also, no orphaned kangeroos to visit when we were there but guess that's a good thing."
