The new and freshly renovated deluxe rooms were superb and also the bathroom was clean and nice. The room was one of the best rooms on the whole trip. It's a pity only staying one night.
The service was friendly and the check-in was quick. W-lan was available because of the proximity to the reception.

Lodge - comfortable room. Well maintained facilities including toilets and showers. Beautiful setting. Enjoyed having a drink at the outer terrace. Good choice of food and drink available. Friendly, helpful staff. Well located near to King's Canyon.

BEAUTIFUL SPOT! Greeted on arrival by Matteo, very knowledgeable and showed great experience of the area. Facilities were top quality, clean and open, the park wasn’t very busy and expecting a lot of the areas to be closed, was told we could chose any camping site we wanted which is the DREAM, great views from our site and close to all the amenities.
Didn’t use the bar at the sunrise/set area however went there for sunrise, which has great views only a short walk from the camp, definitely recommend.
Perfect place for Stargazers, Bird watchers, Hikers and those looking to gain some knowledge of the local First Nations.
Would highly recommend.

We took a campground spot with private bathroom (en-suite) and it was amazing!! Having the private bathroom (you can lock) changes the game (especially if you don't have a trailer to keep your stuff in one place).
The campground is super clean, not much bugs nor flies, the pool is great, the restaurant food is good, nothing to say negative about the place!!
Thumbs up, you can go ahead, great value for price.
And super nice view to see the sunset on King's Canyon.

Awesome time here. Staff were very friendly and eager to please.
Restaurant and bar, 5 min walk from room, great atmosphere and food.
Room was fabulous very clean and not overdone, bath with a huge window, felt like we were outside, so relaxing.
Done the canyon walk 3 1/2 to 4hrs. But absolutely spectacular, much thanks and praise to Kirsten and Rosalie for such a knowledgeable and friendly guided tour (recommend being guided so much info on things you would miss otherwise)
Done the Light Tower experience at the Luritja lookout at sunset, felt like royalty, on our own deck personal service, many thanks to Taylah, couldn't do enough for us. Then to go down into the Light Towers and allow yourself to be consumed by the sights and sounds, we spent a good hour or so, MUST DO.
Could not have been happier with our stay.
Yes, a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for, totally stay again.
Carmichael's for breakfast, couldn't be unhappy with the selection.
Had a swim, yes a little cool, but great once in, surrounding bird life was so nice on the ears.
Although it's a little walk to access things, would rather that than live in others pockets (at the end of the day a 6 min or so walk, to enjoy the surroundings)
Cheers Lisa and Chris

We really enjoyed our time here. We had a deluxe room which was spacious and comfortable, and the bath overlooking the small ridge (with sunrise) was great. The best of our trip through Alice and Yulara, but also the most expensive by far so it's just as well.
We had a great selection for breakfast, even though we were very late one of the days.
We also found that the outback hotel across from the resort was a great for dinner both nights we were there. It's not cheap, but you're in the middle of nowhere, and we were really satisfied with the quality.
The views from the sunset platform were great, and we could have easily spent more time in the area than the two nights we had.

Lovely rooms, we were upgraded which was very nice. Nice restaurant with hearty ribs. Good pool. Did the rim walk (halfway) before it got too hot, amazing place. Highly recommend. Just be careful if you are travelling the gravel road Larapinta Dr back to Alice Springs, we had two flat tyres and funnily enough only 1 spare tyre. Had to abandon our 4WD rental, waited 7 hours only to be rescued bu some locals who generously ended up giving us a ride back to Alice. There is no cellphone coverage. Possibly a good idea to rent a sat phone? Just in case, also we were travelling on Christmas Eve so not a lot of traffic to help. Ever so grateful to the awesome folk from the Areyonga community who rescued us. It's a special place.

Powered sites were great with built in mats for outside the van. Unallocated sites so if your driving your camper you may lose your spot while day tripping. We were lucky to be right near the pool and amenities which were all amazing. Don’t expect a heater pool. This is a sun heated pool and even on warm days it can be freezing.

This resort has had a complete makeover and upgrade. Facilities are amazing, new camp kitchens, new amenities, sites have had gravel placed over the Red dust, adjacent to new pub and grill restaurant.
Highly recommended.

Wow, so so remote. Great greeting at reception by Tom, thank you. Nice accommodation. Bar/Grill is great, good drinks selection and nice food menu. I loved CrowdDI where you can select music. Looking forward to the rim walk tomorrow.

Great and newly renovated rooms. Very good reception service. Wi-fi available but best connection is in and around the reception area and the pub across the road.
Nice swimming pool located close to the rooms.
Enjoy the sunset from the Luritja Sunset Viewing Platform and enjoy the spectacular Towers of Light after.
Great restaurant and bar and super friendly staff.
Thanks to Penny and her colleague for guiding us along the Rim Walk and thank you for shearing your wealth of knowledge. I wish you both all the best on your onward journeys.

After originally booking a tent site we requested a cabin on the campground at check in as it was raining, the service assistant Matteo was lovely and very helpful, he arranged a room at a great price. The room was pretty average but I wouldn’t expect much for the price we paid, the point was it was clean and comfortable. Camp kitchen close by and the toilets/showers were clean and worked well. The pub was fantastic! Only a 1 minute walk, great atmosphere, live acoustic entertainer, food was good, very happy with this place.
Thank you again to Matteo who went above and beyond.

Large holiday campground full of caravans and campers. Only a short 10 minute drive away from Kings Canyon car park. Ample people around, felt really safe. Plenty of clean amenities block and picnic shelters. Petrol station and general store out the front. Great views of Kings Canyon from the camp ground. Paid $43.00 for an unpowered tent site. Definitely on the pricier side of things. Great place to stay nonetheless. Thank you for a great place to stay.

We had a great experience staying here and I would recommend any friend or family member to stay here. The 24/7 reception was useful as we arrived fairly late, the dining options were excellent and the buffet breakfast was delicious. Our glamping tent was beautifully styled (better than a lot of hotels), comfortable and had fantastic amenities. There is also a beautiful viewing platform where you really should watch the sunset!

The Resort itself is a wonderful place to stay if you want to explore the natural wonders of this area. However it is remote and therefore it is very expensive to stay there. We paid a small fortune for our accomodation without any regrets .

Visited Kings Canyon. What a place! The resort was great. Very clean caravan park and customer service was great. We had dinner at the Bar & Grill - I can recommend the Double Camel burger.
Saw the light towers. Very interesting. Understand them better than just watching from a far. $30 pp. Wouldn't do again, but glad I have. (Missed out on the Field of Lights at Uluru as fully booked). Watched the sunset from Luritja Lookout, which has a bar. Sunset was pretty, but fairly noisy place to watch a sunset. We preferred to be away from the noise, which we could do from our van the 2nd night.
The highlights were walking the rim walk of the canyon and the Amazing creek walk. Topped off with a helicopter flight. 8 minutes of joy. Great to see where we had walked. The PHS staff at the helicopters were fantastic too.
