If you've been travelling through the Outback for days, it's great to see a friendly face - and the folks at Annie's Place will really look after you. There's something here to suit all budgets, from cheap dorms to swanky, en suite doubles. And if you want to cool down after a hot and dusty day, the swimming pool is a treat...
