    Very expensive, very much taking advantage of being the only place to stay.

    Absolutely stunning room, so comfortable and clean. Staff were incredible, so accomodating and helpful. We loved our stay and would recommend to anyone travelling to the NT.

    Room could have done with a thorough wall clean and removal of insect webs etc. Be aware the kitchen has a stove but you need your own pots, pans and cooking utensils. There was no hot running water in the kitchen. An instant hot water cylinder didn't seem to be operational.

    Loved the physical location with great views from our lodge room. It was quiet at night so we slept well. Great to have a small fridge in our room and use of a larger one in the kitchen. Plenty of hot water in the shower blocks. The shop provided basics such as frozen meat and veges, milk and icecreams.

    Not a lot, it was a nice room for a two night stay. Costly but understandable given the location.

    All was good and loved the fact that the wild west was right at our doorstep. Breakfast was good too.

    Very expensive at $700/night for 2 ppl in a cabin. Food quality was not great. I understand the food miles/kms and the remote location adding to costs by once the ingredients are there, they should be respected by proper preparation.

    Surroundings. Drinks at sunset which we only discovered by accident. Walk around the Kings Canyon rim and Garden of Eden. Entertainment at drinks and dinner by very clever young guitarist.

    More information on how certain things worked (getting breakfast, National Park Pass etc) prior to arriving would have been appreciated.

    Naturally a very remote location so tricky to get to. Once there, enough resources for any enjoyable stay.

    But for the price we payed we personally thought that you could expect more, the restaurant was closed so you had to eat Dinner and breakfast in the big pub hall, which isn’t very pleasant especially for 700$ per Night. And we stayed there for two Nights and we didn’t get our rooms cleaned in between…. and the wifi was really slow.

    The rooms are very pretty, big and very modern and the location is great as well.

    Overall, it was a great place to stay with our family of 6.

    Upon arrival we had dog poo at our doorstep which wasn't very pleasant unloading bags and were told to just wash it away using the fire hose. We would have loved more lighting in the room as we would either be waking up early or arriving late and it was hard to see in the rooms.

    Our stay was fantastic. You have a lot to offer and it was a very easy walk to dinner and breakfast each day. We have a big family so it was nice that you could accommodate us to have two rooms next to each other also. The food was great, especially for kids who like simple flavours. Can't go wrong with pub food.

    The resort restaurant is closed at the moment and so you have to eat at the pub. The breakfast is good, but dinner is standard pub food.

    The deluxe room is very comfortable and roomy with a pleasant view onto the outdoors. The resort has a bar with a lovely view towards the ranges. It's a great place to watch the sunset onto the red sandstone cliffs.
