The Marree Hotel

Beautiful place love the free camping out the back but this will not always be the case if people keep taking the toilet paper and hand towels
There are some very desperate people about these days

Great camping, such great staff, helping us to fit our little rig in amongst all the enormous caravans, hot showers, clean facilities, fab VEGAN option (lentil Dahl) for dinner.

One of the best pubs you could visit! Friendly, made to feel welcome & so inviting.... visiting here on my Birthday was an amazing day & lunch was awesome thankyou so much! And the coldest Beers EVER!

Great pub , super nice staff, great camel 🐫 burgers. Daughter was a bit disappointed the museum wasn't for the Tom Cruise she imagined. 😂

Free camp in exchange for a drink or a meal.
We had snitties and salad. Very nice

The staff were terrific - very friendly and knowledgable. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The food served was really good too. It was well worth the effort to get all the way out there. The sunsets and the night stars are unbelievable!

Very cool hotel.
Definitely the best hotel on Maree.
Good meals and nice cold drinks.
Nice pool out the back for those staying and plenty of dining room options.
Also has free camping available on non powered sites.
If no accommodation there, the caravan park is just up the road.

We thoroughly enjoyed our night at the pub. The atmosphere ebbs and flows. It starts at the bar before dinner time where everybody has a drink and mingles. Loved the good mix of locals and travellers. Then everyone seems to disappear into the dining room, and after that there is a constant flow of people coming in and out of the bar. We were there Friday night when they also organise a dart competition. They also had a fire pit outside in the street and it was nice to gather there and share some stories. The restaurant has the usual list of pub classics like parmie, fish and chips and different types of burgers. My husband had a camel burger and it was very good and other people‘s plates looked great too. There was a new dish on the menu, which I ordered and it was quite average. I happened to bump into the manager and let her know and she was incredibly helpful and kind. She insisted on refunding me and took the dish off the menu, which I thought was amazing. That’s called caring about your customers and listening to their feedback. Definitely worth supporting this great little country pub.
We are self-contained and slept in the car park with a two dollar donation for a nice hot shower in the morning. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our single night stays at the Marree Hotel. The owner was very friendly and offered us a great personalised stay. Rooms are good considering the location and type of room, we were very happy. The meals were basic Pub meals but overall very good considering that they were short a chef. The family did great with their hospitality. Thanks so much for an excellent stay.

We stayed in the cabin behind the hotel and was pleasantly surprised the cabin looked new and was spotless comfortable bed and the owner advised us that water in fridge and kettle were fine to drink which I thought was generous of them as they could have charged us for bottled water so great service. We had tea at the hotel and amazing meal and great staff highly recommend a stay at Marree Hotel and a meal at the pub.

Thank you for having us Marree Hotel! We had a comfortable stay with you recently and enjoyed the great service, hospitality and food and drinks at your pub. For those reading up before your trip, definitely add a flight over Lake Eyre and the Marree Man with Arid Air, unforgettable!

Stayed at the hotel for one night on the Australia Day weekend. Was a very hot time of the year and I think we were the only guests… plenty of local friendly patrons but!
Great stay, air conditioning in the rooms work well, beds are comfy and the share bathrooms very clean and functional.
Meals were great and the help yourself breakfast was plentiful with a good selection.
We loved the swimming pool and the hosts are very friendly and generous.
Have no hesitation in recommending the Marree Hotel. Thanks very much for a great stay.

We stayed three nights at Marree pub & was fabulous. Phil (didn’t get to meet Maree) was a genuinely lovely guy. We took the two hour flight first thing & was magic. Phil also gave us some great advice of things to see in the area. Rooms were really clean, meals tasty & big sizes & a great vibe. Would stay again 😊

Fantastic place to visit. New bathrooms and great people

Nice old pub alive with history. Great service and a fantastic meal.
Walking distance to the rest of the town.
It's hard to fault.
It's definitely a place to visit.

The rooms are simple. Facilities are great. Good showers both in the hotel and out in the pods. We stayed in both while waiting for the Oodnadatta track to reopen. Staff are lovely. The locals are friendly and happy to share information about the area. The food is good. Try the camel burger! It is delicious. Cannot speak highly enough of this place. Love it, and no doubt will stay again on the next trip.

Great service free camp.
2 showers, 1 toilet, only one occupant at a time.
Burger and chips $26, schooner of Northern crisp $10

The camel burger was big and delicious! Very friendly staff, great selection of beers and wines. We stayed in the hotel grounds in our swag for FREE and it was quiet and just what you want! A hot shower for a gold coin donation is also a great addition. Stop here for a great night and feed. Beers are cold!

Maz great host very helpful ,good meals. Lots of history in Tom Kruze museum and information and pictures on early explorers.

Great outback pub at the start of the Birdsville track. Camping out the back. Gets busy so be prepared. Good meals longer wait at peak times but they do a great job. Gold coin donation for good hot showers.
