Birdsville Hotel

This trip has been many years in the planning and it was a delight to arrive at the hotel. The courteous reception by the staff was appreciated and entry into our room was well received after 500 kms + of dirt road. The styling was excellent and we very quickly relaxed into outback life. Really looking forward to my next visit.

Excellent, friendly, helpful staff, multi talented, couldn’t do enough for us. Great food, well equipped comfortable rooms, air conditioning & cold water, very appreciated. Bakery for breakfast a must do ! An oasis in the desert , well done .

Overpriced meals without atmosphere! I really can’t justify paying $39 for a Parma very ordinary plate with a little gravy and a few chips thrown in? $15 for pav and berries! I get transport would be expensive to Birdsville … honestly keep the menu simple and affordable for families …

The room & hotel services are second to none. The owner is on hand & very personable. We were so happy to stay after our drive through the Simpson - hot shower, good food & comfortable bed! Very welcoming!

The Birdsville Hotel is an iconic pub in an iconic town in an amazing part of Australia. A fantastic place to stay and to experience. We greatly enjoyed our overnight stop there. The hotel was very good, indeed far better than we'd expected in the middle of nowhere. The room was comfortable and well equipped. We ate in the dining room and really enjoyed the meal too. It is expensive at AUD 250 a night for a double but everything is expensive in such remote areas. The only downside (and a significant one that causes me to lower my rating from 5 to 4) is that there's no internet access available. There is internet in the town but the hotel doesn't provide it. It should. A pity to sound this negative note when everything else was so fantastic. Loved the town, the hotel and the staff. I want to go again.

The rooms here have very comfortable beds and the showers are hot. The meals are value for money and service as good as in any city. Our group was treated to a bus trip to local sights and then to Big Red for sunset.

An iconic hotel. Everyone should stay here once in their life. What a place. Great veranda to sit and drink beer on. The bar with the hats is truly splendid. Rooms well appointed, scrupulously clean. The whole experience is remarkable.

We stayed at this iconic Pub before the Big Red Bash 23 for a hot shower and good feed. Despite the terrible weather that caused many people to be stranded in Birdsville unplanned, the Pub dealt with everything fabulously. Very organised to feed so many people (best lamb shanks ever!), great entertainment, lovely happy & calm staff and clean, comfortable rooms. I'd definitely go back!

It was a bucket list adventure for my grandfather to visit the iconic Birdsville hotel and it did not disappoint. The stay was perfect, rooms clean tidy and the beds very comfortable with great quality linen and pillows. The food was delicious and the service was top quality. All the team there were a pleasure to deal with. My main tips would be: 1. Book in advance during the busy periods 2. Stay multiple nights 3. Book a scenic flight in advance, they are definitely worth it. We went on the Lake Eyre and Willow Creek Hotel scenic flight (which you can book through the hotel in advance) with awesome pilot Tay and it was such an amazing experience and well worth it! Thanks guys!!! Highly recommend a stay here!!
