Very good location, close to town centre. The pool is next to the bar and bistro so you can enjoy a drink while splashing. I would love to have white coloured towels instead of milky colour like theirs. Other than that this place is great to stay.

The cabin was quite basic but very clean and the air con was on which was a relief. We didn’t make use of the facilities other than a barbecue which was close by the cabin. The park looked well maintained, clean and tidy.

What a fantastic place to stay before taking a flight, completely different to any other airport hotels I have seen! I loved the spaciousness of the place and being able to access my room from outside. The restaurant was excellent and I really liked the outdoor reception. The only thing I would change is I would have preferred the water in the outdoor swimming pool to be slightly colder. Thanks for a great stay, would happily return!

Great food but noisy aircon in room.
Stayed in a self contained cabin. Shower toilet & double bed (in a seperate room). Bit of a squash getting around the bed. Kitchen lounge area had full sized fridge freezer & good amount of cooking utensils, pots, cutlery plates glasses & cups. Old fashioned aircon units noisy as heck was the biggest downside. Plenty of insect screens & an out door patio area with table & chairs. Great swimming pool & bistro restaurant & bar. Enjoyed their pub style food. The Crocodile Hotel was booked out so this was really the only other option to continue our tour. I got a bit of sleep but could have done with a lot more. Stay again? Only if the only option, but would definitely call in for a meal.

An ageing cabin within the park with a not so good bed for in excess of $300 - hmmmm - very over priced. We did enjoy a pizza by the pool for dinner with a nice cold beverage.

Overnight stay
My wife and I stayed in a cabin without ensuite. The room was reasonably sized and about 15 metres to the toilet/ shower facilities. They were well maintained being clean and sufficient hot water etc. The reception staff were friendly and efficient.The grounds provided plenty of shade and greenery. We had a meal at the bistro which was quite good. Would recommend

Well overpriced for what the room was, showers were in need of repair with shower heads spraying water in all directions from poor. Pool lounge chairs in poor order, limited seating in pool area. However on a positive note the food was good at the pool area and reasonably priced.

It is a very isolated location. People shouldn't be so picky. I was happy to get a secure location to spend the night and the facilities are adequate. The onsite bar provides very good quality food with variety. I enjoyed my stay and it was fairly priced.

Lots of different accommodation options, from camping to self-contained cabins. We stayed in a lodge room without an ensuite - shower/toilet block was very close, but a sink in the room would've been appreciated (not provided). Kitchen and shower/toilet block could use an upgrade - the shower wall tiles looked dirty, but I think they were stained, and taps/shower head had mineral deposits on them. Our room was nicely furnished and clean, though the bed was a little hard and moved around as it was on wheels. Nice pool, though very chilly. Next to the restaurant, one of the few places in town you can eat dinner. Meals were expensive - barramundi was very nice, pizza was tasteless. Easy parking, easy check-in and key drop-off for early check-out. Loved the wildlife around - geckos and little birds perched under the verandah.

Plenty of trees for shade from the heat of the outback. Parking next to each cabin. The pool area was lovely and the meals at the tavern were very tasty with a good selection on the menu. Cabins were comfortable and clean
