Verified review

6/10 Good

The room was way too basic for the price. A bed but no seating area . Just 4 plastic chairs and a table. No microwave just a kettle. I think maybe a minifridge can’t recall.clearly set up for coach tours coming in and overnighting. no evening entertainment or activities and very small basic restaurant again not somehere you would hang out. We were there winter so dark comes early. The hikes from there were stunning however . And we loved the national park itself. Just would have liked some free guided activites or talks etc available. It was all very expensive if you wanted that .

No cleaning of rooms, no changing of bed linens or towels unless specifically requested on a 4 night stay. No sound proofing between rooms, cars parked outside your bedroom. Area is gorgeous, wildlife amazing. Limited options for accommodation and food.

10/10 Exceptional

The safari tent was excellent - really comfortable with great air conditioning, an enclosed bathroom, fridge and plenty of storage space. It was quite distant from reception and the restaurant, but also from the campground and units and had a view of the bush, making it extra peaceful and relaxing. Restaurant was ok, pricey for what it was and minimal, forgetful service, but given the remote location, very handy. Great location for exploring the national park and the tours available were great, including the sunset tour, 1 hour flight and Gorges tour.

The safari glamping tents are a unique experience in a unique location. The resort overall is very good and the tours are excellent, highly recommended.
