Arltunga Bush Pub & Eco Retreat

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.

We traveled here from Alice, we rung ahead and had really helpful information from the owners about the road. It's a stunning drive! 6 of us had a lovely lunch here - they are still working on parts of the campground (think it's great now but will be awesome when finished) the pub is looking great and has nice clean amenities. A great little spot to eat and drink before or after exploring the walks and ruins in old Arltunga.

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.

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

Fantastic place to stay, hosts Belinda and Brad are very welcoming with great knowledge of the area to assist with your touring. They have put in a lot of work renovating the pub and camp ground amenities which are kept very clean. You can also hire a dog box to put your dog in for the day to enable you to visit the National Park. Great job Belinda and Brad and all the best for your future endeavours. John, Jeannie, Red and Benny.
