The Lodge was truly luxury in the outback. The staff were super friendly & helpful. The pool was 24/7 access, the rooms spacious & very comfortable with lots of facilities like coffee machine, lovely teas. Bathroom was spacious also & each room was private with a private balcony. Breakfast & canapés were superb.
The price is a bit too costly I feel which resulted in us only being able to stay a max 2 nights. I was shocked to find a beautiful caravan park directly opposite the Lodge which made it less exclusive then I originally thought it was.

Love the peace, tranquility and inclusions. The staff are helpful and excellent, but the property is not staffed to properly accommodate all of their guests to have breakfast in a timely fashion. This is a problem because breakfast is included in the price of the stay, and we had to leave on time to get a tour. Took us over an hour to get the breakfast that we had ordered the night before!!

This is a lovely property in a great location. This was our fourth stay. We have noticed a significant decline in the service since our first stay. The staff is usually made up of young itinerant workers who are in Australia on working visas. On this occasion one was excellent and the rest were mediocre. They have a formula that they now cannot deviate from.
The advice on daily activities was much poorer than we have experienced on previous stays. It took three attempts, talking with three different members of staff, each time receiving different information, before we could organise our day in the gorge.
The evening meal is a set three course menu (no choice) for $95. Drinks are extra. You now have to order your breakfast the night before and, whist nice, is a lot less than on previous stays. The breakfast is more in line with a small cafe (you have a choice of four set meals) than a luxury or romantic accomodation stay. Our breakfast order was mucked up on the first day. On the second day we had a different chef that prepared the meals in a very different way (not as good) and we had to wait 40 minutes even though there were no other people at breakfast.
Overall, this is still the best place in town. If you have not stayed before, or have not experienced many other luxury accommodation options, you will probably find it quite good. However, the drop in service meant this property was overpriced for what it offers and no longer in the luxury range.
