WHERE TO STAY & DINE
Mt. Isa has plenty of accommodations, from backpacker hostels and caravan
parks to host farms and four-star hotels. Make sure your lodgings are air-conditioned
because you’ll need it.
Mercure Inn Burke & Wills This is Mt. Isa’s best hotel and it’s right in the
heart of town, just a A$11 (US$7.15) taxi ride from the airport or A$6
(US$3.90) from the bus or train station. In this heat, you don’t want to be far
from anything, especially if you’re walking. The hotel’s Explorer’s restaurant is
among the best in town, and the adjoining cocktail bar is a pleasant place for a
pre-dinner drink. The restaurant is open every day for breakfast, and for dinner
Monday through Saturday.
