Saltbush Retreat is a boutique outback escape in Longreach, offering rustic yet beautifully styled accommodation that captures the textures, colours and spirit of Outback Queensland. Just minutes from town and directly across the road from the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame and Qantas Founders Museum, it is the perfect base for exploring Longreach’s iconic attractions.​

Guests can choose from three distinct accommodation styles, each thoughtfully designed for comfort and character. The 4.5-star Homestead Stables blend country-luxe interiors with timber and corrugated iron finishes, ideal for couples seeking a touch of indulgence. The 4-star Slab Huts offer a charming nod to pioneer heritage, while the 3.5-star Outback Cabins provide relaxed, family-friendly lodging with everything you need for a restful stay.​

Throughout the property, landscaped grounds, warm lighting and carefully curated décor create a welcoming, village-like feel. Guests can cool off in the pool after a big day of sightseeing, then wander to the exclusive outdoor bath terrace, where claw-foot tubs, sunset views and pamper packs turn bath time into a signature Saltbush experience for eligible room types.​

Saltbush Retreat also offers a range of packages, including indulgent and leisurely multi-night stays that combine accommodation with local touring for a seamless outback holiday. With key Longreach experiences within walking distance, you can leave the car parked and immerse yourself in stories of stockmen, aviation pioneers and outback life.​

Consistently praised as an “outback oasis” and “jewel in the outback” by guests, Saltbush Retreat delivers boutique style without losing its authentic country soul. Whether you are road-tripping through western Queensland, planning a special getaway or finally ticking Longreach off your bucket list, Saltbush Retreat offers a memorable stay that feels both distinctly outback and wonderfully refined.​
