The whole experience exceeded our expectations. The room was beautiful, very comfortable, with a great bathroom, and there was a whole private lounge area for hotel guests. The food, drinks and service were excellent. It was a welcome oasis in the desert and we’d love to go back again.

What a gem in the middle of nowhere. The hotel, the food, and especially the staff were all Five Star. Thank you for a magic stay over two days. Passing through or looking to base your self there, then treat your self gold. Do it!

We spent 3 days in the Flinders Ranges and not being experienced in camping, chose the Prairie as our base. We loved staying here! The hotel is so comfortable, clean and perfect for a good night’s rest after a long day out on the road. The food is delicious and worth trying their feral antipasto. Breakfast is included and it was delicious with plenty of options (continental and cooked). We were very well looked after by Ellie, Becky and Manny who were always friendly, up for a chat and very helpful with tips on how best to get around the area. Definitely recommend staying here and we’d definitely come back.

We booked looking for solitude and quiet.. 10/10 ! If you can't live without the net or your phone, it will take some adjusting (it’s very worth it), short drive to get back online if you need. Kelly was a good communicator and easy to deal with.

The hotel has lost some of its charm after renovations although some may be impressed by the new bar. The stay was spoiled by the loud people in the next room with offensive language. The menu retains its interesting feral options but the remainder would be better if it concentrated on basic Australian staples. Breakfast was very limited in choices.
