This resort is inside a National Park (SA). If you intend to use any of the walking trails you need to pay for the parks visit although I dont think its mandatory if only staying in the resort overnight. The cheaper rooms dont even come with a microwave so you need to use the restaurant. $46.00 aud for a 250gr Scotch fillet. There is an IGA at the entrance to the resort and fuel available. Ice etc and Coffee. So the more expensive rooms come with more cooking facilities so you could utilize the IGA or bring your own food. The water isnt drinking quality but the resort supply bottled water free . Bed was comfortable and the aircon worked well.

I can only rave in extreme about how amazing this property...its a 5 hour drive from.adelaide but lots of places to stop at...and be sure to be at the camp by 6pm otherwise you will be playing dodge the roos. There is everything here to be completely at one with the bush in a tent..powered site or the sadari tents we stayed in. There was internet at reception and the visitor centre. Staff were incredibly helpful warm and knowledgeable. Laundry facilities on site and a cultural welcome daily at 4.30pm. Breakfast huge and restaurant/ bar in the evening Amazing to see the kangaroos parrots and goats wandering. The safari tent was perfect for a luxurious getaway without being an eyesaw...well designed with bug proof netting...air conditioning..huge bed and comfy pillows and amazing shower. Great quality NOOD shower products. Bliss to sit on the deck and be in awe of the bush chatter and sun set on wilpound. Loved lying in bed to catch the sunrise with a cuppa. Cant say enough positives about this resort.

We are a family of 4(dad, mum and 2 boys). This time we brought dad's side of mum as the web site says 'Sleeps 5'. The website says, '1 Queen Bed, 1 Single Bunk Bed and 1 Single Bed'. We thought that we would have 3 separate beds. They had 2 beds. 1 queen and 1 bunk bed(single on the top and queen on the bottom). It was hard to organize bedding allocation. Meals are big and well presented. It takes long time at dinner time though. There were not much food option at the shop onsite. We would like to come back one day but not in summer as some trails were closed. The landscape was spectacular! We would like to see when the creeks have water. It would be amazing.

Comfort in stunning surroundings

We opted for a 2-bedroom chalet with kitchenette and found it suited us perfectly. It was comfortable and good value considering its location in the magnificent Flinders Ranges. We ate dinner at the restaurant once and found it very good, as was the daily breakfast there. The pool is an welcome added bonus.

This resort is set amongst the most stunning landscape of Wilpena Pound with many options for walks or longer hikes depending on fitness. Both evening meals were of a high restaurant standard and service overall at acceptable time delays even with a large coach group in we were told of delays but our meal was served within 30 minutes. Really couldn't fault our 2 day stay.
