My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was basic but large and clean, suitable for a short stay. However, the thermostat made loud noises. The service was outstanding, especially during a busy weekend when the kitchen was already closed but they still prepared a meal for us. The location had potential with a small lounge that could be better maintained. The dining experience included tasty options and was ideal after a day of biking. Overall, a decent stay with some areas for improvement.

The Green Truck unit was nicely furnished with modern decor. The rooms were basic, large, and clean, with a serviceable bathroom, fine for one night. Some loud strange noises were heard when the thermostat started and stopped, which was a bit disturbing, but overall a decent stay.

The location in the mid north of South Australia in the lower Flinders Ranges was warm and cozy. Positioned near Mount Remarkable National Park, it offers a unique experience surrounded by huge old work trucks.

Dining options were available elsewhere down the town's main street. The continental breakfast was promptly provided upon arrival, but additional dining experiences could be found by walking around the township.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were quite cold initially but eventually turned out to be very comfortable. They were basic, large, and clean with a serviceable, clean bathroom, which was fine for a one-night stay. However, having to go to a kitchenette and organize my own breakfast was a bit of a hassle.

The hotel offers a fun and quirky atmosphere with basic but clean rooms suitable for a one-night stay. The service was friendly and accommodating despite some occasional architectural distractions. The location, although in need of tidying up, has potential for a longer visit. The dining experience is continental and promptly served. The facilities are adequate for a comfortable stay.
