It may have been because of the recent transfer of management, but looking at the background reviews from the past few months, it seems that the issues we faced were not unique. For an iconic destination, with all the potential in the world, our stay was dissapointing to say the least. The food is good, but as a group you are placed in a corner of the dining space with long tables, and bain maries for dinner. The so called buffet dinner was 2 protein 2 veg and a bread roll. The dessert - cake straight from Sarah Lee. To be fair the main course was very tasty - but then we may also have been incredibly hungry, with the 'buffet' arriving 1.5 hours after we were told to be in the dining hall. Our group made the comment it was like eating at a school camp. The rooms are ok, however our bed slid across the floor until I jammed it with some shoes. there are no rugs or anything to keep them in place. No idea why our rooms stank of bleach, and then were recleaned with bleach whilst we were there (2 nights) but the beds werent made, cups not cleaned etc. It was so strong, we could smell it on our hands for 2 days afterwards. We had thought it would be the highlight of the 11 day outback tour - instead, it was universally agreed by our party that it was by far and away the most memorable for all the wrong reasons. I personally would find it hard to recommend to anyone which saddens me as I would love to see Australia lift its game in tourism. Seriously - this could be wonderful.
