HOLIDAY PACKAGE TO LONGREACH

Saltbush Retreat

4.5 out of 5 rating
Unwind under the stars at Saltbush Retreat
This isn't your everyday escape – Saltbush Retreat is your chance to truly connect with outback Queensland. Choose from unique stays like the luxury Homestead Stables, Slab Huts and more, each designed to reflect the texture and tones of the surrounding landscape. A real highlight is an indulgent moment in a traditional claw-foot bath on the exclusive outdoor bath terrace, perfect for unwinding. Imagine dusting off the day's adventures with sunset canapés followed by a wonderfully relaxing soak under the stars. While Saltbush Retreat offers peace and seclusion, it also provides a convenient base to explore the unique wonders of the Longreach region. Just a short drive away, experience the iconic Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame and explore the Qantas Founders Museum. Popular with kids both big and small, visit the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum of Natural History – it’s home to the world’s largest collection of Australian dinosaur fossils.
