Casey
Dubbo Rhino Lodge was a pleasant surprise! The glamping tent was spacious, clean and lovely, not to mention warm! The heating worked very well. We loved the restaurant! The meals were very cheap and delicious. The facilities around the lodge were great, the kids had fun on the playground, and I was able to use the shared laundry to catch up on some washing. All of our dealings with staff were pleasant. If we ever come back to Dubbo, we will definitely stay here again.
Glenn
Clean, cosy, well appointed glam tent away from the hustle and bustle of town. Will stay again!
Christie Leigh
We stayed here for two nights on a Brisbane to Melbourne trip. The staff were amazing and even able to accommodate us for an extra night when we had car troubles. Nice and close to the zoo, and far enough away from civilisation.
Belinda
The tent was great! Location is great. Was lovely to receive a call on the day of our arrival to check our ETA.
Very disappointed that the attached restaurant (apparently run separately) was closed as they had a ‘kids eat free in April’ deal that we couldn’t use.
Wifi is also unavailable except in the main building - which makes it pretty much pointless.
All round a good experience.

Beautiful glamping accomodation in a beautiful setting very close to the western plans zoo. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and made our stay very comfortable. The accomodation was wonderful and very clean and it had all the amenities. Ducted A/c and full bathroom and fridge. At night the stars were beautiful with no light pollution. Restaurant and pool were great which the kids enjoyed.
Amit
No couch, no chair just a bed in the room. No microwave as well. Taking a shower was a big problem as the whole toilet was getting flooded sue to uneven bathroom surface and improper drainage. The food at the restaurant was horrible.
Jeffrey
The room was fairly clean, but it was a glorified tent, so we did not expect primo cleanliness. The area is a bit remote, so staff was not readily available. The restaurant was good and the staff there was excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We had a good time, and we would return there again without hesitation.
CHERIE
Easy and flexible check-in and check-out process. Family tent was perfect space to fit my family with 2 teenager and a baby. The host prepared our tent with AC on before we check-in to ensure we're comfortable and even prepared an extra single layout bed for us which we used it as a relaxing bed couch to watch TV. Bathroom is new with lux towels and extra towels provided. Sharen is an amazing host.

The restaurant food was horrid. First it come out cold in centre and then was overcooked and dry on second attempt. Was obvious it was precooked, microwaved then grilled or oven heated. Staff were nice but it wasnt busy and they took their time serving. Hate to think how it would be if busy.
The fridge froze all our food so we had to throw it out. Then when i turned it down it didnt freeze anything in the freezer. Was in desperate need to a defrost so not sure if this was the issue or the fridge needs replacing.
The accomation staff were awesome, very polite and helpful. The water pressure was a dream!
Having to drag the outdoor chairs inside so we could sit was doable but it would be so much better to have chairs in the test to sit on.

Did not stay for breakfast unsure about pets.
Eddie
Great amenities for children. We had a swim each afternoon after return from the zoo. Rooms were clean and the glamping was an excellent choice compared to normal motels. Sadly outside school holidays there was no dining room.
Marie
We had a great time at the lodge. It was very quiet and peaceful. Easy checkin
Marie Anne
What a fabulous place to stay. Spacious, clean and all you could want for in a little glamping holiday. Family of three and there was plenty of room. Loved the kids play area, our little one made friends

A family friendly property a few minutes drive to town and close to the zoo and observatory.

Loved everything about our stay.
Noreen
Truly memorable experience.Tents are surrounded by bushland. The on-site restaurant was a highlight. The variety of options made the dining easy and enjoyable for everyone. Staff are amazing and very helpful. Parking was onsite. Just a short drive to Taronga Western Plains Zoo and other attractions made the location ideal. Overall, a great experience.
Lynda

Great property. Dining fantastic food and great staff on both saturday night dining and sunday breakfast. Would stay again
Steve
Very comfortable rooms and great bed.
Karen
We stayed at Rhino lodge with our 6 year old and 3 year old and it was the perfect base to explore the Zoo and Dubbo region. The kids loved the novelty of sleeping in a tent and we parents didn’t need to sacrifice any creature comforts! The check in process was easy, and tent was set up thoughtfully with two single level beds for the kids (rather than bunk set up) when we arrived. A small fridge had biccies, milk and supplies to make a cuppa and sit on the deck after we unpacked. The onsite pool, kids play equipment and restaurant/bar were just what we needed for easy dining after a day out sightseeing and offered a decent selection of food options to keep everyone satisfied. It was lovely to fall asleep to sound of frogs and wildlife at night, however if noise from neighbouring tents is an issue for you suggest packing some ear plugs. Overall, we really enjoyed our glamping experience and would recommend this place highly for families looking for a unique country experience!
Jiyeon
everything was very clean and nice
Julianne
Great place to stay if visiting the Western Plains Zoo, or the Dubbo area in general. Great facilities for couples or families alike.
Daniel
This property is quirky, fun and feels adventurous in a way. A great place to stay for A bit of fun with the family, located recently close to the zoo.
chris and tony
The bed was very hard not comfortable and the tourch supplied did not work and no table or chairs in the room plus but was very high to get into great meals and great prices for the meals but little bit slow getting some of our meals out and mixed up in a couple of orders
Mollee
Very close to the zoo and observatory place.
Tony
The Tent accomodation was very unique to stay in. We felt like we were camping, without all the hassles of erecting your own tent! This is camping in style with luxury. The 'Camp site' was exceptionally convenient for visiting the Zoo.
We did find it a little noisy when the wind came up with the flapping of the tent sides. Also there are very little areas to store anything on benches etc. However overall a very enjoyable visit.

Monique
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Rhino Lodge as a family of four. The location was perfect, a 3 min drive to Dubbo Zoo. We had the safari experience by staying in a beautiful tent which had heating and modern amenities. The staff were amazing! Providing a personalised service, the food incredible (must try shared menu), facilities included a playground and so much space for the kids to run around. Highly recommended, a Dubbo secret that needs to be shared and experienced!!
Michael
