About the hotel

Set on Queensland’s Mitchell Grass Plains outside Longreach, this luxury glamping retreat captures the raw beauty of the Channel Country through wide-sky views, changing light across the paddocks and near-perfect stargazing after dark. Low-slung weatherproof canvas pavilions are oriented to make the most of the landscape in every direction.

Spend an evening at Smithy’s Outback Dinner & Show for live entertainment and camp-oven cuisine beside the coolabah-lined Thomson River, or kayak at your own pace come morning. Indulge in gourmet breakfast food with your included hamper, then enjoy a privately cooked dinner with premium wine. Heli-flight tours to Darr River Downs Station offer an authentic working cattle property experience, while the communal firepit area is the perfect spot to share stories under a canopy of stars.
