The new cabins were extremely warm in winter. Bedding was excellent and kitchen facilities great. The design of the living space looking out to the ranges gave great views. Having an extra table on deck was a bonus .we flew over Lake Eyre with Chinta air which took off from the Station. So convenient and a great day out . The Woolshed restaurant is a great place to have a glass of wine at the end of the day or stay in for a meal. Your cabin is fully equipped if you’d prefer to cook at home. Highly recommend Rawnsley Park station !

ABSOLUTELY the best choice to see the Flinders Ranges. The property was incredible. Easy access for walks/hikes, restaurant, reception. The coffee is VERY good! Haha. Friendly reception staff with the perfect info for 4WDing etc. I would go back there in a flash. I am in love with the Flinders and it was thanks to the staff. Oh the food! Oh and the wine! Delicious!!! Thank you!!!

This was in a beautiful setting. We had a room with a kitchenette which was very useful. Breakfast and lunch in our room and dinner at the lodge. The staff was extremely helpful. They were even able to provide change for a larger bill so I could do laundry. We went hiking 2 days on very well marked trails. The store had souvenirs but also practical things needed including fly nets!

Can’t fault Wilpena Ponds Resort. Check in was easy & staff very helpful. Our room , Brachina was very comfortable. We had dinner both nights in the restaurant. It is not a 5 star resort, but remember you are in the Australian outback & to have something this comfortable is amazing. Would recommend & stay again

No cleaning of rooms, no changing of bed linens or towels unless specifically requested on a 4 night stay. No sound proofing between rooms, cars parked outside your bedroom. Area is gorgeous, wildlife amazing. Limited options for accommodation and food.

The safari tent was excellent - really comfortable with great air conditioning, an enclosed bathroom, fridge and plenty of storage space. It was quite distant from reception and the restaurant, but also from the campground and units and had a view of the bush, making it extra peaceful and relaxing.
Restaurant was ok, pricey for what it was and minimal, forgetful service, but given the remote location, very handy.
Great location for exploring the national park and the tours available were great, including the sunset tour, 1 hour flight and Gorges tour.

Breakfast was like leftovers, the hospitality person had her sleeves dangling in the hot food. The jams and toppings area looked like a toddler had craft time. It was obvious that there was no hospitality training with the staff. The rooms were just bareable. Mattress springs and sewerage whiff coming through the bathroom floor. I’m glad we only stayed one night.

This resort is inside a National Park (SA). If you intend to use any of the walking trails you need to pay for the parks visit although I dont think its mandatory if only staying in the resort overnight. The cheaper rooms dont even come with a microwave so you need to use the restaurant. $46.00 aud for a 250gr Scotch fillet. There is an IGA at the entrance to the resort and fuel available. Ice etc and Coffee. So the more expensive rooms come with more cooking facilities so you could utilize the IGA or bring your own food. The water isnt drinking quality but the resort supply bottled water free . Bed was comfortable and the aircon worked well.

I can only rave in extreme about how amazing this property...its a 5 hour drive from.adelaide but lots of places to stop at...and be sure to be at the camp by 6pm otherwise you will be playing dodge the roos.
There is everything here to be completely at one with the bush in a tent..powered site or the sadari tents we stayed in.
There was internet at reception and the visitor centre.
Staff were incredibly helpful warm and knowledgeable.
Laundry facilities on site and a cultural welcome daily at 4.30pm. Breakfast huge and restaurant/ bar in the evening
Amazing to see the kangaroos parrots and goats wandering.
The safari tent was perfect for a luxurious getaway without being an eyesaw...well designed with bug proof netting...air conditioning..huge bed and comfy pillows and amazing shower. Great quality NOOD shower products. Bliss to sit on the deck and be in awe of the bush chatter and sun set on wilpound. Loved lying in bed to catch the sunrise with a cuppa.
Cant say enough positives about this resort.

We are a family of 4(dad, mum and 2 boys). This time we brought dad's side of mum as the web site says 'Sleeps 5'.
The website says, '1 Queen Bed, 1 Single Bunk Bed and 1 Single Bed'.
We thought that we would have 3 separate beds.
They had 2 beds. 1 queen and 1 bunk bed(single on the top and queen on the bottom). It was hard to organize bedding allocation.
Meals are big and well presented. It takes long time at dinner time though.
There were not much food option at the shop onsite.
We would like to come back one day but not in summer as some trails were closed.
The landscape was spectacular! We would like to see when the creeks have water. It would be amazing.

Comfort in stunning surroundings

We opted for a 2-bedroom chalet with kitchenette and found it suited us perfectly. It was comfortable and good value considering its location in the magnificent Flinders Ranges. We ate dinner at the restaurant once and found it very good, as was the daily breakfast there. The pool is an welcome added bonus.

Both evening meals were of a high restaurant standard and service overall at acceptable time delays even with a large coach group in we were told of delays but our meal was served within 30 minutes.

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.

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.

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.

Lovely bush location in middle of national park. Motel room is okay and includes a good sized fridge and a kettle. No microwave in room, which was very annoying. Can park right out front of room. Convenient to have included continental and cooked buffet breakfast in the restaurant. Restaurant menu was good if an omnivore but not if vegetarian/vegan, and menu not flexible for individual dietary requirements. Overall rooms are over priced for what you get - obviously paying for location.

We had a great stay for three nights. The walks were great and well signposted once on the track. I think some signage from the resort of where to get to the walks would be beneficial. We were a little confused from the map supplied. The gentleman at the tourist info was not very engaging and did not supply great information at the beginning of our stay. The staff at the resort were very friendly and engaging. They were polite and well mannered. Being a coeliac it would have been nice to see breakfast items labelled gluten free. No lactose free milk but I was supplied nut milks which were great. We bought some of our own food so it would have been great to see some plates, bowls and cutlery in the rooms. We researched that BBQ’s were available but they definitely need an upgrade and perhaps one of them closer to the resort. Thanks so very much for hosting us. The rooms were well maintained and clean.

Enjoyed our stay in a Heyson room. Spacious but tired. Resort is undergoing room renovations aiming to be completed by Feb 2023. WiFi did not work in rooms but apparently available in main complex. Restaurant was popular and food was good. Could not get a glass of Shiraz in the restaurant, Australia’s most popular red wine, even though on the wine list!! No clear explanation. Service was acceptable but not great. Some things are a priority!! Great walks from resort possible. Wilpena Pound is a must do. Make sure to visit Binman as well.

Worst room in the house

The resort (I would suggest it's a misnomer to call it a resort) is well located for exploring the Flinders Ranges. The staff did their best to make us feel welcomed and comfortable but they were overstretched. As the one ceiling to floor window in our Brachina room faced the carpark, we were afford no privacy unless the room’s blackout curtain was drawn day and night. While other rooms in our block had semi sheer privacy curtains, ours didn’t which made the room feel like a tomb. The room was clean except for the window panes and sill which were dotted with dead flies and red dust. The room offered a small fridge ( crisper draw was missing) a kettle, mugs and a couple of drinking glasses. The bathroom window louvers were in a permanently opened position which meant that ablution noises from our neighbour opposite were heard in stereophonic sound, and I guess they equally heard all of our bathroom sounds. The highlight was the restaurant, there was a good selection of dishes on the menu and all we tasted were well cooked. The restaurant is very busy, so suggest booking ahead if you want a table. Otherwise, you can order food as a takeaway. The newer accommodation eg the Aroona and Heysen rooms seemed better located for privacy and from the outside looked better appointed.
