Wilpena Pound Resort is legendary for a reason. It's in an amazing location, with a wealth of different accommodation options. We stayed in the 'safari' tents, which exceeded my expectations. As it was peak summer, with temperatures reaching 40 degrees, it was a huge relief to come back to an air-conditioned room, with access to a high quality bathroom.

Unclean and overpriced room in a unique location
Room is in rather poor condition, one bedside lamp flicks non-stop and cannot be used. No toaster available. Fridge is of inadequate size, too small. Stayed for two nights, turned out to be quite overpriced, probably because it is very remote and not much else is available. Staff were very helpful, although they seem a little stressed and tired, because the resort is obviously understaffed. The Pound is a wonderful destination, though.

Rooms are in need of some work. in shower the soap holder hanging off. Toilet light/fan switch was sticky and last night it wouldnt turn off at all no-one available to fix. Wifi doesnt reach to the rooms. I understand issues getting things done being remote as I too live remotely but its not cheap so expect at least reasonably good.

Had a very good stay but it’s worth noting that in February not all trips etc will be running so if there’s something special you want to do check before you book. The restaurant serves good meals but they are on the large size

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.
