We had a wonderful stay here. The staff were all lovely, the food in the restaurant was value for money and the Safari Tent was perfect for our couple of days away.

We went off season in the Summer when a few of the walks are shut for safety reasons but it is still a great place to stay, saw loads of kangaroos and emus, the walks that where open were still great, nice free breakfast (menu) in low season

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.

It’s called a resort but the level of service and maintenance might be less than what we have experienced in cabins at caravan parks

Easy access to hiking trails, a good variety of accommodation options and great breakfast buffet and dinner choices in the bistro. We travelled without our older kids this time, but perfect for families. Pool would be great for summer months too!

Apart from the cost $30 for a fairly ordinary breakfast, and low quality tea, the stay was enjoyable with good walking tracks

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.

We had a fabulous stay glamming at Wilpena Pound.
Staff were very friendly and helpful right from the minute we arrived, including providing hints and tips of places to visit and what to do over our stay.
It was wonderful to wake up surrounded by the sights and sounds of the Flinders Ranges.

Beautiful area and lovely walks. Meals were good and service excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful and the tour of the gorges was very enjoyable.
Unfortunately the room was very basic and not as clean as expected and the pillows were uncomfortable.

Our aroona room was basic and a bit dated. The shower worked well though and the toiletries were wonderful. Thankyou for the options to make our own healthy breakfasts but work on hot brekki options. A bit of creativity in options will make for a great morning start.
