The room was clean and neat and the staff were friendly. The accommodation was pretty basic for $96 USD. It had a shared bath which I knew. Breakfast was an additional $38 Australian dollars.
Comfortable beds and laarge modern bathroom. AC works well and pool area is shaded with trees and relaxing place to cool diwn and relax in the hot afternoons.
It's not the Hilton but facilities are clean and adequate. Best steak at the restaurant I've had for years and priced as well as any Sydney restaurant.
Great hotel, lovely amenities. Loved the bath with bush view. Breakfast included in our room rate was a very pleasant surprise.
Fantastic location for exploring the Kings Canyon area.
The room was felt new and very comfortable. Loved the atmosphere around the resort. Felt like going to an adult summer camp. Very low key, happy hour, live music at night, killer sunsets. Would highly recommend.

We landed our plane at nearby Kings Canyon Station. A staff manager from Discover came to collect us. They also dropped back to our plane the next day. They were most helpful, unlike Kings Canyon Station staff (manager) who were not very friendly (except for the lady at Reception taking our landing and overnight Fee who was nice)
