The accommodation and service for check in and check out are awesome and top quality. Questions and concerns were answered with no caveats. They either provide or not. So simple. Love the walkable distances to the dinning cafe and bar options as well as the small hiking areas to the Light Towers and back. Lots of the areas are secluded and has an outdoor feeling even though you’re staying in 5 star top notch hotel and accommodations. Will be staying again in the near future.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The rooms are quite modern but extremely small. The bed takes up most of the room. It accommodates one person with one large suitcase but for 2 people with 2 suitcases and two carryon bags; 3 out of our 4 bags are on the floor and become trip hazards. It’s a shame that the pool closes at 6 pm because we like to swim after a long day of sightseeing.

Long walk to amenities

The accomodation is set far back from reception and the bar. Its a very long hot walk to get to both. Otherwise the room was perfect. Really modern and new

The facilities had great potential but the rooms although having 4 spaces to sleep were not suited to a family of 4 with two teenage boys. Only 3 chairs in the room for 4 people, not enough towels for 4. Only really one dining place as other is closed for lunch and dinner.

For the cost paid the standard of accomodation is very very poor. Having stayed the night before in Alice paying half what we did at Kings canyon and in Alice being in luxury apartment the accommodation at Kings Canyon was beyond poor. The toilet blocks were very old and in serious need of renewing. The check in was ok. We asked for an update and was told would be an extra $500 on top of what we paid per night. Again seriously overpriced. The staff and food at the restaurant were great and can not be faulted Because of the cost and quality of accommodation is the reasons people travel overseas.

Well kept grounds, clean, friendly. Rooms were also clean and comfortable. Big selection of food but poor cooking quality. Invest in a good chef will be a game changer for better tasting food. The food is there but you need someone who can cook.

Beautiful location but very outdated rooms that are overpriced for what you get. Bare cinderblock walls, no bathroom in the room. Common bathroom area was clean but in another building. Food at the restaurant was good and staff were friendly.
