Wilpena Pound Resort is legendary for a reason. It's in an amazing location, with a wealth of different accommodation options. We stayed in the 'safari' tents, which exceeded my expectations. As it was peak summer, with temperatures reaching 40 degrees, it was a huge relief to come back to an air-conditioned room, with access to a high quality bathroom.

Had a very good stay but it’s worth noting that in February not all trips etc will be running so if there’s something special you want to do check before you book. The restaurant serves good meals but they are on the large size

Third time we have stayed here. Standards are slipping. Ate in restaurant three times. Each time meat and bread was tough and burned to a crisp- charred and black hamburger patties, black/burned hamburger rolls and toast, burned parmi- our kids refused to eat them. Chef obviously doesnt care anymore. Accomodation suite has a kitchenette but no washing up liquid, wash cloth/scourer or teatowels are supplied - are we supposed to bring our own now? Smoking area is located between the pool and the restaurant/bar. So you're constantly breathing in cigarette smoke while in the pool, and you have to wade through cigarette smoke when going to the bar or restaurant to get a drink or snack. From about 4pm onwards resort staff sit in the smoking area and drink and chain smoke for hours. Its unbearable and made the pool unusable. Unhealthy and not good enough in 2024. We won't be back.
