El Questro Homestead

We have just got back to London after a superb trip of Australia and New Zealand. Thanks again to Jodie and her team at El Questro Homestead for their fantastic welcome and services in amazing El Questro. It was truly a lifetime of memories for us and we do hope to be back & have not stopped recommending it to everyone. Each and every one of you were top notch and the whole experience amazing. The scenarios are breathtaking and so was the service and expertise. GO PEOPLE its a trip of a lifetime for sure.

Poor booking and cancellation policies which do not favour people who book in advance and plan their holidays. Luxury Excapes now offer the same Emma Gorge accommodation at half the price that we paid directly, with a $100 dining voucher, and the reservations staff refuse to match / alter / provide any alternative offer. Very poor service! Totally unfair when they have a captive market and no competition.

An extraordinary Indigenous Culture Session but we were disappointed by the noxious diesel generator noise adjacent to the campground, which ran 24 hours a day; El Questro is known as a “Wilderness Park”, surely they can turn the generator off after 10 pm and use solar energy which is in abundance there and in keeping with the wilderness motto?

My husband and I embarked on an odyssey across Australia's remote wilderness areas. First stop the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef, then El Questro in the north-eastern Kimberleys, followed by five days in Kakadu, ending with five days on Lizard Island, most northern of the Great Barrier Reef getaways. None of it was cheap because we flew thousands of kilometres by plane and the remote locations added to the cost. Our five days at El Questro were the priciest and the most memorable by far. Everything about the homestead stay is six-star luxury in the most relaxed, unpretentious way. We loved the daily itinerary they arranged for us as we were ferried to heli pads, river barges, and rainforest gorges. We hiked, we swam, we took in the sights, and each night we dined under a canopy of stars, sharing stories with our fellow travellers. El Questro's staff were six-star, too. They are not your run-of-mill hospitality workers. Everyone is educated in the environmental sciences, and they share their knowledge. These are folk committed to the world's wilderness areas who want to share the love. The food was fabulous, as you would expect, as were the rooms, the ambience, and the attention to detail. We even got a farewell gift that I use daily. It reminds me that some experiences are priceless, and that's what you are paying for.

4 day stay with the van unpowered site. Genies are allowed from 8 to 8 there's a swimming area it was pretty packed but still quiet .the laundry machines don't clean well.the staff are just soo great and helpful. The down side is the portable toilets and showers some patrons are dirty pigs . That don't clean after using the showers.leave shampoos in the shower dirty paper on the floor and in the shower cubicle I was embarrassed.those cleaners need a pay rise

If you like dust, over inflated prices and being packed in like sardines defiantly book a stay. The roads around the entire camp are more dusty than the entire Gibb River Road. The location in the George prevents the dust blowing away and the dust cloud can be seen from km's away! Not advisable for anyone with breathing difficulties. To the managers, buy a water truck and do some road repairs!
