Our stay in one of Saltbush Retreat's Homestead Stables was wonderful. The furnishings are beautiful, matching the theme of the retreat beautifully. The bed was large and very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we could need and everything was of excellent quality and in perfect condition. The room was quiet and roomy and the retreat was within walking distance to both the Qantas Museum and the Longreach Hall of Fame. The on-site managers, and all other staff, were extremely friendly and helpful and we will definitely choose Saltbush Retreat the next time we visit Longreach.

Welcome from hosts was great, as was advice for the roadtrip (avoid Bourke overnight, stay in Cobar or Cunnamulla). And, the room looked nice when I arrived, with Air-con blowing and mood (lamps) for light. Outdoor baths were fun. Full kitchen, with hotplates and pots as well as microwave. Full crockery/cutlery too, not just teacups. Guest laundry was helpful, I made use of washing machine and clothesline. Air-conditioning was good, a unit in each of bedroom and lounge. Excellent location, walking distance to Qantas Founders (across the road) and Stockmans Outback Hall of Fame (300m, next door).

Sadly, Booking.Com was $35pn more expensive than other sites. Over my five night stay...I could have had an extra night if I'd booked direct/elsewhere.

Attention to details. We had the slab hut, it’s perfectly made for what we are hoping to experience in the outback. Exceptionally clean, everything is amazing and great. We had a lovely time. It’s close to Longreach town. Check-in and check out was a breeze. Lovely staff and managers. Very welcoming/accommodating. We feel very comfortable and safe at Saltbush Retreat. We were also given information where to get foods 😇 From our experience, we will definitely recommend this place 💯 % 🙌🏼

We love everything about it. Can’t fault it. Maybe an additional light in the kitchen so you can see better and safely prepare your food. Could be a lamp or something with the same type of light so it wont take away the outback ambiance. But other than that, everything is coordinated perfectly. Amazing experience, feels like you travel back in time. Even the ac was made to look as though it’s part of the hut.

Saltbush retreat is a great location for the key sights in Longreach - across the road from the Qantas Founders museum and next door to the Stockmans Hall of Fame. The rooms are well appointed, with a great kitchen, lounge area, bathroom and lovely amenities such as the abundant huge bathroom towels and additional towels for the pool. We stayed in the stables which were cute and well designed and great for your own catering or alternatively to have a BBQ by the pool area. Alternatively, if you wanted to go into town for dinner it was a 30 minute (a bit hot) walk or a 10 min max drive.

The only thing I would say is that the air conditioning in the stables is a bit noisy (but I am a very light sleeper)

Bed was comfy and sufficient towesl etc for our stay. the outdoor bath was a nice way to relax with a wine (pity the weather turned a little cool that afternoon). Venue close to the tourist attractions and town centre. Really only had breakfast at the motel as usually out for lunch and dinner. Staff very helpful with suggestions on what to do and where to go. Didn't get a chance to use the pool.

Fridge was a little small and leaked water. wardrobe doors needed new rollers. Table for meals a little on the small side, but OK.

Great location, you can go for a 2km walk along the botanical gardens, or hire a taxi, hire a car or use shuttle buses from some of the pubs. Good kitchen and great shower and bathroom. The swimming pool was spotless and wonderfully refreshing after the high heat of the day. The outside baths were great too, and I found it surprisingly very relaxing being able to look at the sky and wildlife while sitting in a bath!

There were two days of high temperatures (39 degrees) and I found the slab hut hot. I had to keep the air conditioning on it's lowest temperature and even then it didn't always cope.

Great location, quiet and comfortable. Friendly, easy check-in. Slabhuts were beautifully decorated. Nespresso coffee machine, full size fridge and good sized functional kitchen for a cabin. Comfortable bed and pillows. Air-conditioning with reverse cycle heating. Deck behind cabins with 3 large outdoor claw baths and seating was fun.

Loved the outdoor baths, whilst fairly private location the only negative was view from one direction was towards a caravan park - a few trees or plants would be a nicer outlook, but this was minor.

The 2-bedroom house we had was excellent value. The verandah was excellent. The surroundings were very authentic. The many saltbush plantings were unique. The pool was great after a day out and about. Wendy was so helpful and her husband Rob good for a chat. The grounds were well-cared for. The location was opposite Qantas Founders Museum and close by Stockmans Hall of Fame. It was a 30-min walk into town along the unique Linear Botanical Gardens (60 mins if you read signs and take photos!).

No complaints at all.

Absolutely amazing little country retreat in the heart of Longreach with modern and clean rooms with authentic character. The Saltbush Retreat is conveniently located opposite the QANTAS Founders Museum and the Stockmen’s Hall of Fame. From check in to check out the staff were lovely and welcoming and provided a list of recommendations for dining. The Stables and Huts are a must for your stay. The area has outdoor baths which were amazing for a night of star gazing. Would definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone travelling through.

The central QLD area is pretty hot and the even with the aircon on, the cabins were a little hot, but cooled down at night. We looked in "The Stables" and the aircon was a lot better. If we were staying for multiple days, we would book the Stables.

Saltbush Retreat was perfect for our short stay in Longreach. It is directly opposite the Qantas Founders Museum and a short distance from the airport. The cabin was clean and fully equipped for self catering. The pool was a nice relief from the hot weather and the outdoor baths would be great in winter. The owners were lovely and very helpful during our stay.

The accomodation is about 20mins walk into town which would be quite easy in cooler months along the botanic pathway. Many restaurants however offer courtesy bus services if you are dining for lunch or dinner - details of these are provided at check in and quite useful if you didn’t have a vehicle during your stay.
