The staff were great excellent Colin on our 4x4 Your. The food was simply amazing on our first night. Good amenmeties and prices. Bed were a little hard yet simple clean rooms. I’ll be back

Staff were very attentive and helpful good knowledge of the area and the services available room was clean and everything worked

well run little resort located in a great place

Even though it was a remote location and we were there out of season, everything was fine. The room and service were good and the food in the restaurant was great.

We stayed 2 nights at Wilpena Pound Resort as part of a road trip from Adelaide to the Flinders Ranges. Our hire car, a RV4 Hybrid , was very much at home on the excellent SA roads. We did not go off road. WPR is all inclusive due to its remote location but there is also a tiny IGA nearby. On a positive note the Resort is perfectly sited for walking, hiking, day trips etc. A trip to Blinman and the copper mine 160 km round trip is essential, Walking trails ranging from flat and easy roadways to challenging mountain scrambles are well signposted and maintained by the National Park. Therefore, there is no facility for dogs or firearms. The structure of the Resort caters for busloads of tourists and groups of same interest folks. Accommodation is basic, a little tired, but in keeping with the remoteness of the area. TV is limited to 3 or 4 channels, Air Conditioning is standard and sleeping facilities are satisfactory. The main problem that we found is the meals and dining arrangements. The menu varies and specials soon run out. Beverages and alcohol prices are very high and the service could be better. Juices ran out in the mornings and were not topped up. Standard basic wine is $50.00 a bottle take it or leave it. Food prices are commensurately high. The Resort reminded me of coastal guest houses in the 60's where a captive audience has to accept what's on offer or not go there at all. There's a certain school camp atmosphere. Well, we ticked off Flinders Ranges from the bucket list but the WPR could do better given the prices charged.
