Had some issues with the booking however the manager resolved the issue efficiently. Staff were slow with bookings and unsure if it was the process or lack of awareness, I suspect the process. Great service with everything else. Recommend the stay

Irresponsible Hotel
Roads to hotel was completely closed and not accessible due to heavy rain the the region from the day before to the day after booking day. Several Calls to hotel during that period was not picked up. Hotels. Com evenly called several times for my request of cancellation due to road not accessible but no one picked up calls. Then Hotels. Com was not able to refund the payment made at the time of booking.

Basic clean tidy room. Toilet block was close with plenty of hot water and clean. My accomodation block was a long way from the pub and camp kitchen which may have contributed to a very peaceful night. I was very disappointed with my meal in the pub ( goat curry) very watery and only 4 pieces of meat with a little bowl of rice. Other meals looked ok Staff friendly

The crew at William Creek were super friendly and professional. Big thanks to Amanda, Rose and Jacob for their warm hospitality. The accommodation was comfortable and the pub full of character. Such a fantastic outback experience. Would definitely come back

The unit offered to us at the time of booking turned out to be part of a demountable with several units enclosed. The unit was so small it only fitted a double bed. No cupboard, bed side lamp or table. Small window was broken and not cleaned properly. Showers and toilets were external to the unit in another amenity block. We later found out that better units were available but not value for money. Some allowance should be made for their isolation. The camp kitchen was non existent. The hotel is iconic and served good meals in the restaurant.

Thanks for your review - our Outback accommodation is remote and basic, however we are sorry to hear that you found it noisy. The Hotel Rooms are located nearest to the restaurant and aren't usually noisy, however it may have been busier on the night you stayed. We hope to see you again!

Thanks for your review - we are located in a very remote part of South Australia and our outback accommodation is clean but basic. We have tried to show the type of accommodation we provide through the images, however we apologise that it didn't meet your expectations.

I liked that this was typical outback australia and there were no superficial agendas. The staff were very busy and you needed to find your own answers e.g. where to go for flights over lake eyre. Needed to be more on top of food supplies and cleanliness of cutlery

Thanks for your review and we are happy to hear that you enjoyed our little Outback town! We have seen great demand for the hotel since there has been water in the Lake, however we try and help everyone where possible.

We arrived (own aircraft) quite early. When we arrived at the hotel they could not find our Expedia Bookings. We had to show our sheet. Our self contained cabins had been given to a large well know tour company with lots more clout. A lot of stress as there is nowhere else in William Creek. We were eventually given 4 single "Dingo" Rooms which were very comfortable. Then when we went to go into the hotel for dinner that same tour company had completely reserved ALL the tables in the Dining Room. We managed to find an old plastic table and chairs in the veranda that had to have the red mud cleaned off them. We had a great night in the end but the management there and their computer system was obviously not working for them

Basic accommodation that does the job.
Although the accommodation is very basic, it did the job. The staff at check in couldn’t have been more helpful or friendly. Everyone at William Creek were great. A meal at the pub is a must.

Hard spring beds in old dongers. BYO accommodation
Camping would have enriched our stay at William Creek rather than the hard spring beds in the old dongers. The shower block lacked working locks leading to common intrusions of privacy. Staff and meals at William Creek we’re great and the pub is definitely worthwhile a visit. Accommodation simply a result of no competition. Optus only.

thanks for review and bringing to our attention they are our budget rooms, however we are currently looking at either updating to new ensuites or new bedding. Handyman finally arrived and now addressing the issues raised. Its an isolated environment and we do our best to provide a great outback experience. Happy travelling

Nice stop over
We had one night here as part of a road trip. Staff were friendly and changed us to a motel room at the back of the pub which was comfortable for the 3 of us. Fun night with other travellers at the pub.

Interesting and different. It was an experience.
We had a room. More like a box with a double bed. That's all that could fit in. And an amenities block. They were clean but not for me. The bar itself is small and all the travellers sat around talking which was a great atmosphere. The meal was good but limited. In fairness it is an outback pub which only gets deliveries twice a week. Naturally they ran out of items. The staff however made up for any shortfalls.
