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 !

Exhaust fan/light extremely noisy. Walkway right next to door so had to keep blinds pulled across. Apart from kettle and coffee mugs no other kitchen utensils available and general store had run out of plates bowls etc. Restaurant extremely expensive and all side dishes extra.

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.
