Mitchell Grass Retreat

10/10 Excellent
"Great glamping-style accommodation just outisde of Longreach. We stayed for 4 nights in August and had a mix of temperatures to deal with, hot and dusty the fditst day bur then cool and dry for the rest. Very comfortable king bed, great shower and bathroom, and we loved using the barbecue on the deck to cook up some nice steaks while watching the sun set over the plains. The first night was very windy and we wondered if the tent would blow away! But the tent is held with strong metal beams so there was never any chance. Some quite cool nights following that got down to around 8 degrees C meant we had to use the air conditioning to warm things up, but nevertheless was really comfortable overall. The location is very close to town- about 2-3 km- so we spent the days at the Qantas Founders Museum, the Stockman's Hall of Fame, and ate at one of the local pubs in town. As usual for bigger country towns, the local bakery had all the treats you could want, with a good coffee shop next door. So overall it was perfect for us, great location, and very nice place to stay. The only slight inconvenience was the wifi on the property was out due to a Telstra issue. But the Telstra 5G phone signal was strong there so we could still plan our tours, trips, and travel easily using the phone data instead. It was reliable enough to also stream some cable TV shows at night."
