Can’t fault Wilpena Ponds Resort. Check in was easy & staff very helpful. Our room , Brachina was very comfortable. We had dinner both nights in the restaurant. It is not a 5 star resort, but remember you are in the Australian outback & to have something this comfortable is amazing. Would recommend & stay again

This was in a beautiful setting. We had a room with a kitchenette which was very useful. Breakfast and lunch in our room and dinner at the lodge. The staff was extremely helpful. They were even able to provide change for a larger bill so I could do laundry. We went hiking 2 days on very well marked trails. The store had souvenirs but also practical things needed including fly nets!

ABSOLUTELY the best choice to see the Flinders Ranges. The property was incredible. Easy access for walks/hikes, restaurant, reception. The coffee is VERY good! Haha. Friendly reception staff with the perfect info for 4WDing etc. I would go back there in a flash. I am in love with the Flinders and it was thanks to the staff. Oh the food! Oh and the wine! Delicious!!! Thank you!!!

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.
