Before you get too deep into the outback, let Broken Hill Tourist Park give you the opportunity for one last hot shower. The drive-thru sites are ideal for anyone towing a camper, but your family station wagon is as welcome as your family pets are. There are also cabins available, sleeping from two to six. Come together with other travellers over bikkies and cheese – where we insist that a visit to the Living Desert Sculptures is a must before you leave Broken Hill behind.

A five-minute walk from Broken Hill village, Lotte’s Cottage is ideal for adults who want a restful stay without the joyful noisiness that pets and children bring to the other hotels in Broken Hill. Only adults are allowed in this abode – particularly those who also appreciate the convenience of a full kitchen and evening dining lit by garden lights. You don’t need to fill all three bedrooms with family and friends, but it wouldn’t hurt to bring a grill master along, so you don’t have to mind the barbecue.

Motels in Broken Hill are all well and good for a quick overnight, but when you have an appetite for more than just a comfy bed, Ibis Styles will suit you best. The luxury spa room may draw you in, but it’s the S-Que Restaurant that’ll convince you to stay another night. Schnitzel parmy, jerk baby chook and beef cheeks will fill you up so delightfully that you’ll be struggling to tackle the tiramisu cannoli for dessert.
Sturt Motel, for a quick overnight refresher

You’ll feel like you’ve struck gold when you sift your way through the hotels in Broken Hill and stumble upon the Astra. We’ll skip over the rooms – not because the spacious bathrooms with double spas and separate showers aren’t worth noting – but because you’ll be too busy exploring what the hotel offers beyond your executive suite. Mornings with espresso at the Soull Cafe blend smoothly into gourmet pizza lunches at Trinders. Red Lush has your pre-party cocktails before a live show – and Temptations literally puts the cherry on top of your day with their dessert bar.

Bring the pets and the kids – there’s a huge fenced yard where they can all spend safe time under the sun. You’ll have your spell of fun, too – particularly when the kids snuggle into their own private bedrooms and you’re free to enjoy the privacy you and your spouse rarely get at home.
