Search hotels in Broken Hill

Broken Hill is a great town but I must say that the best place to visit, close by, is Silverton. Such a fun place with quirky history and great photo opportunities. Also the Mundi Mundi Lookout is A MUST. We ate at the Broken Hill Hotel for Lunch which was really nice and very generous serves. In the evening, we ate at the Palace Hotel. A fun pub with great photo opportunities and good food. The food did take an hour to be served but they were very busy and booking a table in advance is recommended. The area is very flat so walking through and around the town centre is easy.

This property with 3 lovely furnished bedrooms, plenty of TV’s and air conditioners would suit families or couples too ........it was just complete! Plenty of art galleries, and so many historical n beautiful old buildings and homes, many great hotels and clubs to choose from including the magnificent recently renovated and upmarket BHP Hotel. (stands for Broken Hill Pub). Hotel n club dining we enjoyed. We had a rental car smallToyota which cost about $60 per day n were allowed 100km per day ...700km for the 7 days which was adequate.

We found Broken Hill to be a wilderness escape from the nonsense going on in politics and covid restrictions where we live.The most interesting aspect of this place is the fact Australia's mineral wealth started here.Rich lodes of silver,lead and zinc where discovered which led to Broken Hill Propriety being formed,which to this day is the largest ore mining company in the world.People may or may not know of country towns in Australia but they are very likely to know of Broken Hill.Attractions around the town largely centre around relics from past eras.Headframes dot the landscape around the city.There are numerous mineral displays and museums to visit and a tour to Day dream silver mine on the road to Silverton is available both above ground and below.Silverton incidently has been the location of various movies requiring a wilderness location.Pro hart the artist also has his works on display in Broken hill.

It was very interesting to see the Living Desert Sculptures. We liked Silverton where quite a lot of movies have been made inc Mad Max, Razorback and A Town like Alice. The Mine tour in Broken Hill was closed due to Covid which was a shame as it would have been interesting to see. The Pro Hart gallery was excellent. There are plenty of eateries and we had a nice meal at the Palace Hotel where the food and service was great. There are also plenty of places to stay. Broken Hill is easy to get around although you do need transport.

Once that red dust gets in your veins you don't want to leave! We loved the scenery of course, but the beautiful big wide streets, the old houses, stunning! So much to do in Broken Hill itself and also just outside of Broken Hill to. We are definitely heading back.

Broken Hill was a surprise for us. Lots to see and interesting sights. Lots of information about the history of Broken Hill as well. We stayed over a weekend and Monday, and I must say we found it hard to find much open for eating and refreshments. I would have thought a lot more places would be open to welcome visitors to the town. Most of the pubs were closed as well, which we thought strange, but understand with Covid it is difficult. Overall however, it was a must visit on our bucket list and we were not disappointed.
