Third time we have stayed here. Standards are slipping. Ate in restaurant three times. Each time meat and bread was tough and burned to a crisp- charred and black hamburger patties, black/burned hamburger rolls and toast, burned parmi- our kids refused to eat them. Chef obviously doesnt care anymore. Accomodation suite has a kitchenette but no washing up liquid, wash cloth/scourer or teatowels are supplied - are we supposed to bring our own now? Smoking area is located between the pool and the restaurant/bar. So you're constantly breathing in cigarette smoke while in the pool, and you have to wade through cigarette smoke when going to the bar or restaurant to get a drink or snack. From about 4pm onwards resort staff sit in the smoking area and drink and chain smoke for hours. Its unbearable and made the pool unusable. Unhealthy and not good enough in 2024. We won't be back.

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.

Relaxing and comfortable stay in a family safari tent. Unfortunately the outdoor light didn’t work and the heating was very noisy, which made it difficult for our kids to stay asleep. Otherwise, clean and tidy. The resort itself is well maintained and a great experience of camping with all the creature comforts you could ask for!

This was our first glamping experience and we highly recommend it to others. The setting is so beautiful with emus and kangaroos around us. The tours with John and Malcolm were incredible, sharing their knowledge and experiences with us so openly. We felt very privileged. Resort staff were knowledgeable, could answer any question and gave great recommendations to help us have a very memorable stay. The dinner options were excellent - with 4 dinners organised, we were a bit unsure if it would feel the same every night. Great menu with lots of different options so we never ate the same meal. They were all delicious. Solar heating for the pool might extend the use. Bar snacks (packet chips etc) when the bar is open would be a good way to keep people fueled. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable stay.
