Mt Dare Hotel is ideally situated on the Western edge of the Simpson Desert just 10km south of the Northern Territory border. We are at a cross road for travellers, visit Ayers Rock to the west, Alice Springs to the north, Queensland via the Simpson to the east and the Oodnadatta track and the Flinders Rangers to the south.

There is a UHF Repeater for your safety, this covers from New Crown Homestead (north) - Stephenson Creek (south) and half way to Dalhousie, Mt Dare Hotel monitors this channel, use it only to contact the hotel or where long distance (greater than 10 km) communication is required, NOT for vehicle to vehicle communication.

Most tracks with the exception of the Simpson Desert require minimal 4wd experience and are accessible by popular all wheel drive vehicles. If you do wish to tackle the Simpson moderate 4wd experience and a high clearance 4 wheel drive are necessary.

No Park Pass is required to visit the Mt Dare Hotel, it is required only for Dalhousie Springs and the Simpson Desert.  These can be purchased from the Pub.

We have a great range of services and supplies that we are constantly improving to meet the demands of the Outback traveller, so come and say g'day to Dave & staff, we're your mates in the "real" Outback!

We went to Mt Dare Hotel in 2013 and found it to be an excellent stop after a few days of travelling through the Desert. Friendly staff and the owners were great. It's a bit of an oasis here. The accommodation is basic but good. The shop is a great place to stock up on groceries - Hint: if they don't have it on the shelves, ask for the grocery item as they keep a lot of stuff in the cool room so it won't go off. The food here is great and a cold beverage very welcome. There is plenty of seating and don't forget to check out the stubby holders lining the roof. There are hundreds of them. Also refuel your 4WD up here - the price is good considering where it is. We recommend Mt Dare Hotel.
