Reviews of William Creek Camp Ground & Units 3 stars

Location, location - there is nowhere else to stay! Staff were excellent, everything seemed well coordinated, they were efficient and patient. The WC Hotel does well in an isolated location to provide a range of affordable accommodation, access to showers and meals. The standard isn’t high but equal to other remote areas we have stayed and it met our needs for a short stay to see Kati Thanda. Hot showers and laundry were appreciated.

The camp kitchens were well below the standard of what is provided in other outback locations. They were virtually un-useable, dirty with no hot water. People were using the one hot tap/tub in the laundry to wash dishes. An upgrade to these would be fantastic so people have choice to self cater as the pub gets very busy.

Was very central to town, not far from the pub or flight tour centre. Camp grounds looked nice and well kept.

That there was only a bed, bin and air conditioner in the room. Was attached to other rooms. The description had a private bathroom listed but there was no private bathroom.

Our ensuite ‘cabin’ was a good size, clean and comfortable. Perfectly situated a stone’s throw from the quirky, friendly William Creek Hotel.

Nothing to dislike.

Close to the airstrip for flights

We hired a family room. The dongas don’t look too bad from the outside. The beds are somewhat awful! Chipboard screwed on base where there should be slats on the double bed, with a lumpy mattress. The single bed was basically a camp stretcher and sagged heavily when laid in. The carpet was old and frayed, with small rocks in corners still. I’ve stayed in better accommodation of a similar sort when I worked on stations. Usually I’d say ‘pretty good for the location’ but this really is a town owned by one man ripping off tourists. The bar is very expensive, and the meals are simple, for example the $30 lasagne is the cheapest catering version that not even mines use for their staff anymore. Fuel is $2.99 which is sort of understandable, but all round, the town a bit of a rort. Options aren’t available, so they make the most out of tourism, clearly not expecting return travellers

Clean. Pub was great. Flight over Lake Eyre a highlight

No bbq facilities for those in a tight budget. Had to eat at the pub which was rightly expensive given location.

Location

Central bathrooms

The experience of William Creek was fantastic for its location the place is great, clean and the staff are friendly hard working young travellers. Top marks people great job. And the flight over the Lake and Painted Hill a lifetime dream so amazing to see.

The pub and food

Rudeness of some staff too busy chatting up girls to serve us and when asked slammed the card terminal down in front of us glaring and the generator going loudly all night long

A stop over on a remote track for break.

Our Room was opposite the generator that was running all night and over priced . All goods and services were unnecessarily overpriced . Other remote establishments are not as greedy.

The bed was comfortable

More than just a bed, even a shelf to put thing on would be good.

The staff were very friendly, the room was clean and was exactly what we needed for a one night stay. The laundry facilities were good and I was able to get my washing and drying done. The pub across the road was handy for dinner, only two sittings 5.45pm and 7 pm. Make sure you book a table.

N/A

Close to pub and airfield

Poor facilities, not even tea/coffee making. No BBQ, room dirty, aircon broken. Not a lot of choice at William Creek!
