Barkly Homestead Roadhouse

Barkly Homestead Roadhouse is a classic outback stop on the Barkly Highway in the Northern Territory, offering basic accommodation alongside the usual fuel and grub. It’s a handy spot if you’re doing the long haul between Tennant Creek and Mount Isa, with rooms that won’t win any awards but will do the job after a day on the road.

The site has powered caravan sites and a small camping area, so you can roll in with your own setup. Amenities are functional rather than flash. Don’t expect lush lawns or fancy facilities – this is proper outback rough and ready. Booking is by request, so it’s best to plan ahead if you’re set on staying here.
