Advised by our tour operator, this park is indeed a must. The wild beauty of the "Pound", the naturalness of the park, the wild life among the tourists, the quality of accommodation, hiking to the "pound" we will leave a lasting memory.
If time allows (and your means too) I recommend flying over th...
Our overall experience of this place was excellent, starting with the friendly welcome we received from Kerry & Andrew , who are both Adnyamathanha people, ( original custodians of this area) they were happy to share with us they're cultural knowledge and wisdom, as well as they're special place ...
There is nothing wrong with this place and hence 5 stars. Just didnt get what we expected.
We were thinking plenty of wildlife..exotic animals around but nothing like that. Only exception was when we left in early morning, there were roos all around the lodges and were just at arm length. We enjoye...
The stunning scenery, the vivid blue skies, the crystal-clear fresh air and the myriad of stars at night only serve to complement this outstanding resort. The rooms are large, clean and very comfortable, as well as being quiet and peaceful. The breakfast is amazing, with every taste catered for. The...
Really great!, Definitely get a sense of the outback from here
Just a beautiful place ti stay lots to see there and around
Visited on a day trip. Shop is well stocked. Fuel, water, ice, potable water, beer and food.
Stayed in the Safari Tents which were absolutely great, serviced well, clean and tidy. The resort on the other hand was quite scruffy around the edges and the food served in the restaurant was pretty bad. There s one shop in the resort and you pay for the convenience.
I have stayed here and enjoyed my stay. Service good, room was clean and well presented. Food was good, and some reasonable wines.Flinders Ranges are a fantastic place to visit.
Beautiful surroundings steeped in indigenous history
Great camping spot
Restaurant has interesting varied menu with emu pie, kangaroo and camel sausages
Loved the pool as it is 32 today
Highly recommended
I was there in May 2019. The Flinders Ranges National Park and especially Wilpena Pound are stunning and one of my favourite places in South Australia.
The campground and resort are the only accommodation available so close to the Wilpena Pound. It is the gate for all hikers who want to explore the...
Really nice place for a weekend family camping. Service was great but due to covid restrictions pool wasn't available which was annoying.
Great place for bush walks and beautiful landscapes. Great place to see Australian wildlife, however the accommodation was a bit of a let down. They were not serviced to what they should be at $340a night - I would not expect to see dead flies on window sills a toilet bowl with urine stains mould an...
Facilities all good. Bathrooms need a bit extra TLC.
Fantastic location, very comfortable rooms, great food. Spectacular hiking right outside the door.
Still ok, good buffet breakfast , but nothing has changed in 30 odd years, needs a major upgrade. However , we were there for mothernature so no probs
Fantastic place to visit. Different types of accomadation. We had a safari tent. All facing the ranges as nd pound. Great views. A bit needs to be spent on maintenance. We had a great stay. Fully recommend.
The glamping experience was amazing, kicking back watching the local kangaroos, enjoying the sunsets.
Great place to stay. The rooms are comfortable, the staff are great.
Really great spot and the food was very good too. If you want to hike you can do it direct from the resort as well which is a big plus
Clean and comfortable, but 'resort' is taking it a bit far. It's kind of like being back in the 80s - which is pleasant enough.
We recently spent four nights at the resort and were disappointed.Our unit had a queen and two single beds. My wife slept in the single bed and with overnight temperatures down to 7 degrees found one blanket was not enough. We requested another blanket but were only given a double blanket folded in ...
for nature lovers, easy bush trails and stars watching, lovely bistro food!
We recently stayed at the Wilpena Pound Resort and chose the glamping option of accommodation. These were set up on the edge of the property and kangaroos, emus and goats grazed nearby which were a delight. The tents were exceptionally comfortable and well appointed with a tiled en suite, comfortabl...
Add this place to your bucket list.
What an amazing place.
Easy access on well maintained sealed roads. Plenty of caravan and camping areas, a restaurant and bar, swimming pool and airconditioned rooms that are spread around the grounds amongst the trees.
Endless walking trails and dirt roads t...
An amazing place to stay if you want to explore Wilpena Pound.
The Wilpena Pound trail-head is at the entrance to resort, with walks ranging from a short stroll into Wilpena Pound, to climbs up to Mount Ohlssen-Bagge or St Mary Peak.
The resort is accessible in just about any car, if you want ...
We were camping. Facilities ok but dirty. Camping areas very sheltered for tents. Campers are able to use the resort pool however it was covered in mosquitoes when we were there. Lots of wildlife in the area.
Decent cafe, great value buffet breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff.
We stayed in one of the Ikara Safari Camp tents and had a fantastic time. Even though the weather was very cold, the tent was warm and comfortable. The resort bar and restaurant were also warm with friendly and helpful staff and good food. The welcome to country was especially appreciated and hopefu...
Beautiful serene atmosphere we loved the safari tent and surrounding views and fauna.
The two male receptionist seems lazy. Pool are closed during covid. Walked past the rooms. I don't think it's worth $200 a Night. Suprisngly the Wi-Fi is super fast
Ikara Safari Camp is the ideal solution for those who want to live a different experience, sleeping in the middle of nature under the sky
star of South Australia, without sacrificing comfort.
All tents are equipped. I highly recommend staying longer than 3 days in this place surrounded by nature.
Great location for walks, unpowered sites are reasonably priced and amenities were clean
Accommodation really needs looking at. Clean but very tired . They need an update and plumbing is a bit hit and miss. Staff try very hard and are helpful, but not many senior staff to help out. Overpriced but still a great location. Could be tremendous if a bit of renovation applied.
Ideally placed to explore the Founders Range and Wilpena pound but the facilities hardly match most cheap.caravan parks. Seems a bit dated.
had a few issues with things like room cleanliness, the gorge tour was great though
Really liked this resort it would be great for a walking holiday stop for experienced hiker and beginners like me
. This is our 4th visit to Wilpena over the last 30 years and like me the motel area is looking tired. The staff and food were excellent but it is showing its age. We Glamped but wouldn't again as although the view is great it's basically a glorified tent.
The staff and food are great, the pool clean and so are the rooms. Great place for a day trip or short holiday.
Great place, limited amenities but you can't expect much more considering the remote location. If you're there when it's busy make sure that you hit the showers early.
Great base to explore the Flinders. They also have a small supermarket, and good restaurant/bar. The petrol was also cheaper than Hawker.
Awesome experience. The airplane ride was amazing and would definitely recommend to all.
Peaceful camping in the Flinders Ranges NP - what a best way to wake up in the forest with kangaroos and emus right at your doorstep?! No camp kitchen but BBQs and sink for dishwashing. Showers and toilets are cleaned every day which is great as it can be quite busy.
Ginnie the lady in the shop is extremely rude
Probably won't come back
Great place to stay. Everytime you go there is always something different to explore. Great service. Will definitely come back again
Interesting place. Expensive for what you get but "interesting".
The tour was informative, and interesting the evening show was enjoyable.
Every thing is old. Power pylons wobbley. Facilities and windows in reception and ablutions dirty. Whole lot seems to lack TLC.
Fantastic place. Good rooms (Brachina rooms at least). Friendly staff at the reception BUT the lady at the bar is not friendly at all.
Overpriced rooms. Bad reception sraff who don't answer questions, only refer you to the map. Inadequate dining area with not enough seating. Every night we had to stand around ready to pounce on a table when one became free. Paid over $630 for 2 nights. Room was for two adults and 2 kids. The rooms ...
Wonderful place To spend 1 or 2 nights just close To the kangarous
Plenty of space. Having a general store on sight makes it a very convenient place to stay.
Fantastic place to stay, plenty of wildlife to see near the camp and on the walking trails. Staff are friendly and helpful. The 4WD adventure and scenic flight are a must do
Beautiful scenery and friendly staff. Be aware that many of the harder walks are closed during the summer months, so plan accordingly.
Fantastic local trails and services, lots of flies in summer, but to be expected, keep your food sealed up properly, the roos will have it
Camping for a week at resort. Great campsite. The camping area is very large and despite the large numbers over Easter weekend, the place never felt crowded. Great basecamp for exploring the Flinders Ranges. Only drawback is the lack of any camp kitchen facilities.
Don't be fooled by the images on the website. My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights and were very disappointed with the lack of organisation, maintenance and cleanliness. The bathroom was filthy and there was limited hot water. There was no resort information available in the rooms. The decor is...
Great place... awesome walks and great facilities... Beware of the icy pool
Lovely place. Unpowered sites a bit of a mess and walk to amenities. But overall top spot. Great walks
Had a wonderful time. Recommend it for a great holiday.
Considering the remoteness of the location - they do a good job. Friendly staff, rooms a bit dated but the pool is great on a hot day, and it does get hot. Wilpena Pound is an incredible location.
A beautiful location amongst the majestic Flinders Rangers. While it was lovely to have great access to some excellent hiking trails it was great to come back to camp and enjoy a cold beer/ glass of wine at the bar with happy hour each night from 5 till 6. Great staff, easy going atmosphere.
Stayed in the safari tent. Very disappointing. Needs better management. Don't pay extra for the tents, absolutely not worth it.
Perfect location and easy to get to all the walking trails, the staff were fantastic and very eager to help, the restaurant also to my surprise had some really good food.
On the downside the safari tent we stayed in was very loud in the wind, the fixtures would make a horrible metal on metal screec...
Fantastic place,staff where really friendly and helpful. Rooms where large very clean and comfortable.Good breakfast too Really amazing walking/ hiking tracks. Highly recomnend you go there.
Nice location.
Excellent views
Friendly and helpful staff.
Good place to visit
Issues with power which impacted on running the caravan fridge and aircoditioner.
Toilets and showers needed a good clean.
This place is for the gamers, me and the lads like to crack a cold one here, HOWEVER THERE ARE DEAD RATS IN THE BEDS!
Yes very disappointed with this place not what it's made out to be Rangers were not very nice at all paid money to go drive to the pound then we found out we were in it and it's just a little campground not worth anything rubbish a lot nicer places on the way past it so if you see it keep driving do...
As owner operator of Just Cruisin 4WD Tours you can't beat Wilpena Resort for professionalism and great service.
What a place great destination that your selves take the kids take you grandma boat take your dog. Wild life, stars, quiet times and a happy hour at the bar something for every one.
Great to have a place to have food and drinks and a swim on hot summer days
