This casual hotel has a southwestern vibe and offers a true ‘get-away from it all’ haven with no electronic distractions. The bright, ‘TV-free’ rooms have handcrafted furnishing and the neutral décor is a reassuring contrast to the dramatic surroundings just outside the window. The private balconies are the perfect spot to admire the views, native bird and wildlife and incredible starry night skies.

For dinner, the Far View Lounge offers good pub food, appetisers and snacks as well as views that stretch for hundreds of miles. It’s a great spot for relaxing with friends and family, trading stories of the day’s adventures or watching a sporting event on TV. Alternatively, the Terrace Café, close to the lodge and Far View Visitor Centre is the perfect place for breakfast or a relaxing lunch with a great view!

Rooms are air conditioned and feature a coffee maker, fridge, hairdryer and ironing equipment.
