The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

The evening menu featured a fantastic selection, including local favorites like kangaroo, emu, and crocodile. After long days of hiking, it was wonderful to unwind with a cold beer and enjoy the tasty meals. The variety in the menu kept each dinner exciting!

Relaxing Leisure Activities

The glamping experience was absolutely amazing! Having our own ensuite and a designated fire pit for the evenings was the perfect way to enjoy the natural surroundings. It allowed us to truly relax after a day filled with exploration and adventure.

Comfortable Room Setup

Our room was not only spacious but also had good heating, which was a huge bonus given the chilly nights. The comfortable bed ensured we had restful nights, making our stay all the more enjoyable.

I recently stayed at this resort, and while the location near Wilpena Pound is truly stunning, the overall experience was mixed. The rooms were a bit outdated and needed some cleaning, but the service was generally quite good. Dining options could use more variety, but I really enjoyed the tours that highlighted local culture. Overall, it's a decent stay for exploring the area, but there are certainly areas for improvement.

Nestled in beautiful countryside, this resort offers great access to the surrounding nature. The staff here are genuinely nice, and while the chalets provide a comfortable stay, they do need some upgrades. Although the pool requires some cleaning and the dining experience could improve, it's still a place I'd recommend for nature lovers looking for an escape.

The location is absolutely stunning for exploring the Flinders Ranges, and the nature surrounding the resort is breathtaking. While the service in the restaurant was commendable, the conditions of the rooms left much to be desired, being old and poorly maintained. The dining options were also quite expensive and not very satisfying. Overall, it's a mixed bag—great location but disappointing facilities.
