We enjoyed our stay at Kings Canyon resort. Disappointed that the restaurant was closed. When paying $500+ per night don’t expect to have just pub meals for dinner. Staff were excellent

This place had nice views . The room was pretty big but couldve done with a basin .wouldve been a quiet room but kids in next room were sick so could hear them coughing . Not the propertys fault . The bistro was a big space but half the meals on menu were unavailable and we went early but the meals we got were very tasty . The staff were pretty plesant and the one woman musician was good too.
The camel burger . A bit dry but still very tasty

Rented a standard queen cabin which was more like a prison cell with a bed on a metal frame that was very squeaky and had a thin mattress. Nowhere to hang clothes or put them away. Air conditioner was loud and barely worked. Communal bathrooms had good showers and were never crowded. The sunset viewing deck was great.

The room was ok, but we were not advised when booking that the room did not have a bathroom, but a group/common bathroom and toilet that was a 30 meter outside walk. The price we aid for the room should have included a private bathroom within the room.

Subject: Refund Request Due to Accommodation Shortages and Early Departure Dear Officer, I made a reservation to stay at your hotel between March 6 check-in and check-out dates on March 11. However, I had to leave early on March 9 due to some shortcomings I encountered during my stay and I request a refund for the days I did not stay. The information provided at the time of booking was insufficient and I experienced the following deficiencies: • There was no chair to sit outside the closet and bed to put the clothes in the hotel room. • It was not stated that the toilet and bathroom were outside the room. • It was not stated that the WiFi was not in the rooms, only in the restaurant and reception. • On the first day, the air conditioner in my room was not working and there was no remote control, so the room was changed the next day. Due to these shortcomings, I had to leave the hotel on March 9th before completing my reservation. I would like to request a refund for the nights between 9-11 March when I did not stay. I am waiting for you to get back to start the relevant refund process. I can share payment receipt or reservation information in order to speed up the necessary procedures. Thank you, I wish you good work. Your name hande nur ergin Reservation Number #73044640215670 Contact 61 450 323 680 handergin@gmail.com

Would recommend but just for one night

Room was okay for one night- tired paintwork but clean enough and toilet block and showers were clean with plenty of hot water in the showers The bar was great- good value happy hour and large selection of food. Food was a little dry but okay. Had the buffet breakfast which was good value Would recommend if passing through and need a place for one night We stayed in the basic room- double bed but not en suite
