In 1935 Bojangles started as a guesthouse offering accommodation and simple but warm hospitality. Over the years the site housed the Teapot Inn (1956 - 1967) and the Centre Restaurant (1967 - 1978). It was after this that the Central Australian icon, Bojangles, began. It inherited its name from Mr Bojangles - the man who dances. Early 1998 saw a change of ownership and a new strong partnership with network marketing being the key to success. The partnership consists of Avril and Chris Vaughan. This has brought about the combination of tourism, hospitality and entertainment to provide a complete Central Australian experience. An expansion to the Saloon in late 1999 has increased Bojangles ability to cater for larger tour groups with seating capacity up to 120 guests on Ghan railway sleeper bench tables and cowhide seats. The Dining room seats 70 guests and provides full a la carte service with some of Australia's finest wines available. Bojangles provides true Territory Tucker such as Camel, Crocodile, Kangaroo, Emu and Barramundi.
