Fantastic view of the bluff from our room and the main dining deck which is very popular for pre dinner drinks and a great experience. Easy walk to the very scenic Glen Helen Gorge.
Staff friendly and efficient.
Room was comfortable and well appointed and modern. Only downside was the huge gap around the door which let the night cold compete with the air con. If you venture outside at night the sounds of tens of air cons competing with the porous doors to retain heat is matched by the throb of the diesel generator trying to keep up.
The light pollution is a particular concern with garish fluorescent lights leaking light to the sky, so to look at the amazing stars out here you have to get in the car and drive several k’s down the road to appreciate this amazing spectacle
Of particular concern though is the huge floodlight that points toward the gorge wall still blaring at two am and causing untold disruption to the wildlife there. Nobody to watch it - even if it was appropriate, so why?
It would be great if management joined the 21st century in ecology and energy conservation which would make A great venue truly amazing.
Was really disappointed that even after I’d emailed the business 6 weeks ago and let them know their website and advertising was misleading- website indicated the park was located in Alice Springs that this was not amended. I requested a menu 2 days before we arrived to sort out whether we would self cater at all and then opted not as the 3 course menu option looked like really good value but then when we arrived 2 days later the staff knew nothing about this menu option. Likewise opted not to buy more bottled water as it was supposedly provided but this too was not available. There was no apology or options offered for these issues which I thought when you were paying $270 per night for a very basic room, there might have been. Would recommend requesting a room away from the generator side of the property as many of the bathroom windows don’t close properly and the noise is quite loud overnight
Clean, comfortable, renovated deluxe escarpment view room for 2 nights while exploring the area - west McDonnell ranges. Continental breakfast was adequate but both our evening meals were terrific. Thanks chef.
