Prairie Hotel & Outback Lodge

I tried to book a heritage room But given that it’s a long weekend, no bookings available. So…I’m in the overflow accommodation. The pub has some spanking good beers. I would suggest getting here before sunset and sinking one of the great site brewed beers while the sun goes down. Pub food is not basic, and there’s a decent menu. Highly recommend. In summery: great beers, great views, basic accomodation in the overflow area but clean and comfortable. Good staff, who are really pleasant to deal with. Would love to try the heritage pub rooms next time.

Highly recommend a visit and stay at the Prairie Hotel. The Outback King Room has fantastic country character yet is modern, clean and very comfortable. Food was excellent and I enjoyed the locally brewed beer sample paddle. A drink on the deck watching the sunset is an experience with stunning views. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Step inside this very typical outback pub exterior into a space that could match it with the hippist pubs Melbourne has to offer featuring stylish decor and flawless super professional service. We had the Prarie Banquet starting with the most delicious shared chartreuse platter. However the emu and camel elements of our main course were dry and overcooked. Never mind, the accompanying Adelaide Hills pinot made up for it. Overall a not-to-be-missed, unique outback experience.

Absolutely blown away with the magic food on offer....Emu Pate, dukka, bread and so much more.... would have loved to try the full meals but we'd had a late brunch not realising such great dishes would be in offer. Great staff , lively updated room. Superb place .... don't miss it!!

A real highlight of our journey around Australia. We found it very reasonably priced. The building, the decor, everything was extremely welldone. The food presentation was great and flavours were fantastic. The beers were exceptional also. Plus the drive there has the most amazing scenery. A must visit!!!

This hotel may seem like it's out in the middle of nowhere, but it buzzes with people. When doing the Patachilna gorge loop it is situated in a perfect position. Prairie on one end then Blinman on the other 🍕🥗🍺🍺 The menu is something else...🦘🫣 but i did try and i have to say once i stopped thinking about what i was eating i didn't have the urge to gag lol Delishous meals, cold beer on tap, inside or outside settings. Enjoyed my meal, a must to stop at and live on the wild side when ordering 😂

Loved the location. Great rooms, good food, good beer. Was an excellent place to spend some time away from the busy city life. Also enjoyed the lack of light pollution so being able to see the night sky and stars we normally don't see since we live in the northern hemisphere. Very much enjoyed our time and the hospitality. Good luck and keep up good service.

Good pub with rustic but modern amenities. Great atmosphere and quiet busy over the Oct long weekend. If you’re hoping to get a Chicken Parmi, look elsewhere. Lots of interesting meat choices such as camel, wild boar, emu, kangaroo etc. Staff are friendly and bubbly. Highly recommend if you’re on this side of SA or wanting to try different meats.

Awesome Lovely Iconic Pub, comfortable rooms, staff friendly and helpful. Rhonda the lovely lady who services the rooms. Meals are an outback experience and delicious. Amazing Artwork both inside and outside.

Beautifully restored hotel with a wonderful selection of art and homewares created by an Aboriginal womens art collective on sale. The staff--one young woman when we were there--was lovely, very helpful and friendly. In the front bar of the hotel, apart from the usual alcoholic beverages, there was a selection of icecream as well, which I found to be very tempting. The dining rooms were immaculate, and the old, polished wood tables were very sturdy. The coffee was good, although my long black was more of a short black. My companion's skinny capucino, she said, was very good, and she'd had much worse in Adelaide, so she was very happy to have a good coffee. The hotel was well set out and it was very inviting with its beautiful decor and lighting, and the warm welcome from the friendly young woman behind the bar.

Lunch stop while exploring the Flinders Range. Unique dining experience. Great service.
