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.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
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 was a superb glamping experience. Would highly recommend it, quietness, solitude wildlife experience - Euros, kookaburras, yellow banded parakeets....amazing!
Awesome place and starting point to explore the Flinders Ranges - the Safari Tent is awesome, but overpriced. The food at the restaurant is average at best and very expensive.
The Wilpena Pound Resort provided us with a great base to explore the Flinders Ranges. Our room was very comfortable and the food at the restaurant was exceptional.
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.
Good place to stay in the outback of SA We stayed in the glam tent which was roomy and pleasant and clean and very quiet Some native animals came around Food was good.
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.
Service and food were great. We had a wonderful dinner and awesome breakfast. Totally unexpected to dine so great in the middle of nowhere.
Thank you for a great stay
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.
The room we stayed wasn’t cleaned properly or the shower. The shower floor was very sticky. Room smelled of smoke . There were rubbish like pen and dust on the floor .
We had a wonderful stay here. The staff were all lovely, the food in the restaurant was value for money and the Safari Tent was perfect for our couple of days away.
We went off season in the Summer when a few of the walks are shut for safety reasons but it is still a great place to stay, saw loads of kangaroos and emus, the walks that where open were still great, nice free breakfast (menu) in low season
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Our aroona room was basic and a bit dated. The shower worked well though and the toiletries were wonderful. Thankyou for the options to make our own healthy breakfasts but work on hot brekki options. A bit of creativity in options will make for a great morning start.
