“I recently stopped at Packsaddle Roadhouse and was thoroughly impressed. The facilities were exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and welcoming, making for a comfortable and enjoyable visit. The staff provided outstanding service, greeting customers with friendly smiles and going above and beyond to ensure everyone felt looked after. The food was another highlight of the experience. The chips were fresh, delicious, generously portioned, and served promptly. It’s clear that quality and customer satisfaction are a priority here. Overall, Packsaddle Roadhouse delivers a true 5-star experience with excellent facilities, outstanding service, and fantastic food. I would highly recommend it to anyone travelling through the area and will definitely be stopping by again.”

“This was our outback stop after a full day of dusty driving before we did the dodge a roo dusk drive to Broken Hill. A couple of cold beers and the best chilli parma I've ever had amongst the amazing surroundings of this iconic hotel made us very happy and ready to tackle the road again. The staff were great to chat to and made you feel very welcome and the cat is super cute n chill!! An absolute oasis!!”

“Today we drove from Broken Hill to Packsaddle just for the steak sandwiches! And they didn't disappoint us. This place is a must visit for anyone driving past or anyone who can alter their track to drive that way. The roadhouse is decorated appropriately for a place called packsaddle, with old leather bits and pieces, nicely displayed to provide an interesting outback country vibe. There was a huge fireplace inside providing warmth on a wintery day. The service is friendly and helpful. The steak sandwich worth a drive from anywhere. The facilities are clean and tidy and the rooms (while we didn't stay) look clean and inviting for an overnight. Very interesting drive from Broken Hill as well. I highly recommend.”
