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.

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!

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.

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