Arltunga Bush Pub & Eco Retreat

Brad and Belinda are amazing hosts, and are very knowledgeable of the area. The glamping tents are very comfortable and has everything and more for your stay. The drive from Alice Springs to Arltunga is full of amazing views. Lots of places to visit and explore in the East Macdonnell Ranges. And the beers are cold and enjoyable at the end of a day of exploring! Highly recommend, plenty of space at the camp ground, swimming pool and maintained facilities.

Gorgeous place to stay. Everything is brand new and spotless. We talked with the owner (lovely Belinda) and she was the most charming person. Super knowledgeable and amazingly nice. She knows how to play pool!:p really recommended place to stay for few nights or just having a drink. Historic landmarks around of the old Arltunga mine. Many hugs and hopefully can take now better pics!!! All the best. The Spanish guy :))

Very good, we enjoyed it a lot. Hosts were welcoming and friendly (especially Belinda), reasonable price, great facilities (including pools) and only 1.5 hours from Alice Springs. Recommended

What a wonderful experience- thanks to the exuberance of Brad, and the delightful Belinda. Pizza night, and we thought not again just having had a couple of pizza nights in Alice- well these rocked the socks off Alice's pizzas. Would go back for them in a heart beat. And the same with the freaking awesome burgers we had for lunch = forced us into a wine and cheese evening + finishing with a cuppa soup, when we got back to Alice. The bathrooms were sensational- FOUR pegs in each to hang stuff + wooden floor mat, oh and a loo included. Plenty of camping space, though lucky us, had the ones camp beside us where I could touch both campers arms outstretched - too close buddy for bush camping! A camp kitchen, not checked out, as we were too busy eating in the pub!

Arltunga Bush Pub is amazing. Brad and Belinda gave us a warm welcome and have put a lot of love and care into the campground and rest of the site. Next time I fly to the other side of the world I'd love to come back.

I camped here for 3 nights in May 2025 and thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The pub is open now and is really the cherry on top of an already great place to stay in a great area. The East MacDonnell Ranges are worth exploring for a few days (3-4 days to see everything) and Arltunga Bush Pub was an excellent place to base ourselves (family of 4). Our kids loved coming back to the beautiful pool after a day of adventures (Trephina Gorge bushwalking, Ruby Gap 4WD track, Arltunga Historic area) There's more to see but you'll need to have a beer at the pub and get the hosts Belinda and Greg to spill the secrets! They're great, genuine people who each night would sit with us for a chat and board game and help us plan our next days exploring. We will definitely be back and are looking forward to all the future improvements.

This currently is a work in progress. The pub is being rebuilt but the campground is open and functional. We had a very quiet and comfortable night. The amenities are good - flush toilets in the large shower rooms with basins. There is a camp kitchen with a fridge. The owner is super friendly and helpful. We had a very good experience and would be curious to see it once the pub is finished and the swimming pool installed.

Really enjoyed our visit here. They cooked up a fantastic pizza served with ice cold beer. Very friendly and great atmosphere, well worth visiting
