Black Jack Get-A-Way Magpies Nest

An ideal place for that relaxing get-a-way from the hustle and bustle of normal life. In the mornings you will awaken to the magpies singing their morning song outside your window, then in the evenings, join them on the veranda with a glass of wine to watch the sun set while they sing you good night.

A cottage with wonderful views
A cottage with a great from the verandah. We arrived late but the cottage exceeded our expectations, wish we could stayed longer, nothing was missing. We gave the local pub around the corner a visit and here we found out more points of interest to visit, but because we only passing by we have to stop next time a day longer.

Good old fashioned pride in product offered.
Located in outback town location this simple 3 bedder ticks all the boxes many more elaborate and expensive accommodation houses fail to provide. Every imaginable requirement is provided for the weary traveller to comfortably pull off the road for a night or two. Clean, quiet and well equipped. Well done Susan.

Best pet friendly accommodation in Australia!
What an awesome place to stay! Pet friendly, warm and cosy. Plenty of parking for our work truck too. And an enclosed yard that our doggos loved! Quiet with great views of the hills. So glad Orroroo is only a few hours from home, I reckon this will be our ‘get a away from it all’ place. Thanks Susan

Restful and relaxing overnight stay!
We stayed here after driving from Ceduna and it was such a refreshing stay, the house is beautiful, lots of space, enclosed backyard (which was great for our two dogs) and fantastic air con! The shower and bed was amazing, best sleep we’ve ever had, the surrounds were picturesque and quiet. We really appreciated the little extras like the cereals, toast and juice, I just wish we had time to use them! Thank you for our wonderful stay!!

This is still the perfect rest stop for us travelling to and from Alice Springs. Ordered a homemade dinner this time as I knew we would get in late. Great to have it waiting for us on arrival! Delicious too.
