Breakfast was excellent. I prefer non toasted muesli.
The dinners were excellent, but both my partner and I found the sauces rather too rich - they caused some indigestion during the night. Some more vegetarian options would be appreciated. Re the bedrooms and general lounge areas: More fresh air via windows that could open would be good. We found the mounted animal trophies/taxidermy displays unpleasant and inappropriate. I doubt that the Prairie Hotel is promoted as a hunting lodge. The meaning or appropriateness of these stuffed animals (even if feral animals) "adorning" the walls is the major thing I would recommend that the Prairie Hotel considers/reconsiders.

The hotel is very comfortable and great facilities for the outback. While the food was of a good proportion I felt the mains were too big and I would have preferred more variety and guidance with tne menu. I expected more for the high price, for example a small afternoon tea as we arrived around 2 pm. I t would be good if at least a glass of wine was included in the half board with dinner. Breakfast had some choice however it wasn't exceptional again for the price.

The location was amazing out in the Flinders Ranges. The hotel was far above my expectations. The hotel was unique to be in the outback of Australia. Ellie, the manager, was very welcoming & friendly. You could see that Ellie is very proud of her business & rightly deserved. The staff were friendly & the food was great. Even the feral mixed grill & emu paté was lovely. There are self drives from the hotel or you can just relax & do nothing. It certainly is an experience to be have.
That we didn't stay another night. I'm disappointed that I didn't find out more information about the hotel & the area from the owners. Another reason to visit again😊.

IHad read & heard a lot about the Prairie Hotel for its food & ambience ; both were excellent as was the welcome & friendliness of all staff. The only limitation is that there is 'nothing' other than the hotel in Parachilna . which meant I had to drive to Leigh Creek to get petrol , perhaps visitors need to be pre-warned about this & to ensure the fuel up before getting to the hotel - perhaps more experienced Flinders travellers than I would know this
That there was no 'entertainment' available - no TV, so the nights after dinner were long. I would hope that management might consider a paid Tv service for guests , even in a common area, not necessarily individual rooms

Lovely little hotel in the middle of nowhere. Recently renovated with all modern facilities. Gorgeous bathroom and nice room. Very friendly and attentive staff members. Dinner and breakfast was included: delicious and copious! A true outback experience.
Poor sound proofing in room. At low occupancy it would be preferable to spread the guest more around and leave an empty room in between for better peace and quiet.

Personable yet professional staff, knowledgeable about local community and surrounds. Catering and service a highlight and great value.
We enjoyed all aspects of our stay. Perhaps having to leave after four nights was the only lowlight. Could have stayed late night.

Very stylish hotel with its own microbrewery. Lovely decor. We enjoyed the feral feast for dinner. Very friendly staff.
We did dinner, bed and breakfast. It would have been nice if at least a glass of wine was included with dinner - prices were quite steep. There wasn't much sound proofing in the bedrooms.

We loved staying at the Prairie Hotel as it’s such an iconic building in a unique location. The service and staff were exceptional and our room was lovely. The quality of the dinner & breakfast was superb and we would certainly recommend staying here!
Every thing was good.

Breakfast was tasty and generous as was our dinner. All of the staff were happy and helpful.
Our room was very spacious and comfortable, except that we could hear the conversation of the people in the next room via the adjoining door, which made getting to sleep a slow process.
