About this accommodation

Renner Springs Desert Inn is a historic outback roadhouse on the Stuart Highway, 150km north of Tennant Creek and roughly halfway between Darwin and Alice Springs. Built around a relocated WWII army hut, the inn offers fuel, meals, bar service, motel rooms and shaded campsites. The natural lagoon and spring still attract diverse outback bird life.

Renner Springs Desert Inn is a classic outback roadhouse on the Stuart Highway, 150km north of Tennant Creek and around 700km south of Darwin. Named after Dr Frederick Renner — medical officer to the Overland Telegraph Line workers who discovered the springs by following flocks of birds — the inn is centred on a relocated WWII army hut from nearby Banka Banka Station. Travellers can refuel, grab a counter meal or cold drink at the bar, stay in air-conditioned motel rooms or pitch up at the campsite. The lagoon and natural springs continue to draw a remarkable range of outback bird life, making it a memorable break on the Explorers Way.
