The art deco Royal Exchange Hotel is located in the heart of New South Wales mining country, Broken Hill. This historic hotel has been fully restored to feature all of the conveniences of the modern world, including en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and data ports for internet access. The hotel's friendly staff will help you make the most of your stay in Broken Hill by suggesting popular bush walking trails and signing you up for a mine tour.
Staying in tented cabins doesn't sound very luxurious, but the cabins at Emma Gorge Resort are something pretty special. Their raised roofs allow the sounds and scents of the great outdoors to lull you to sleep. Private en suite bathrooms and crisp, fresh linen sheets help you feel more connected to civilization than the breathtaking mountain views out your window would suggest. The resort is located in the El Questro Wilderness Park in Western Australia's Kimberley region. It's a beautiful part of the world, with hiking trails ripe for exploring and thermal springs for soaking.
So why would you slum it just because you're in the middle of nowhere? If you know where to look, even the Australian Outback has some very special accommodation options.
