The hotel offers a mix of experiences, from basic rooms to fantastic spa facilities, amidst a slightly pricey stay. While the rooms vary from small and prison cell-like to top-notch comfort, the staff are not consistently helpful. The charge of $600 a night may push the value for money rating down.

The facilities offer some standout features, like a spa next to a huge window overlooking the scenery, but may not fully justify the high nightly rate.

My stay at the lodge was a mix of good and not-so-great experiences. The room was spacious and clean, but the decor felt a bit tired. The service was top-notch, but the dining options were limited and pricey. The location was lovely, reflecting the beauty of the outback surroundings. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with friendly staff, but with some room for improvement in certain areas.

The hotel is situated in a stunning environment, perfect for those visiting to explore Kings Canyon. The rooms are extremely comfortable with an excellent shower, but there was a lack of information about evening activities in the rooms. The service was top-notch, particularly when we needed help with a flat tire from the Mereenie Loop. The location is spot on for hikers, just a stone's throw away from Kings Canyon, offering beautiful surroundings and ample space. The dining experience was delightful in a lovely roundhouse at the resort, although the timetable for certain activities was slightly inconvenient. Overall, a well-managed property in a remote location with fantastic amenities and services.

The hotel had a beautiful spa with a stunning view, but the overall property outside looked uncared for. The rooms were basic yet comfortable and clean, equipped with everything needed. The service was friendly and helpful, but the reception lacked warmth and proper bedding. The location was fabulous with grassy areas, but there was a need for better cooling options. The dining experience was acceptable, although with poor selection. The facilities were decent, with opportunities for improvement.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was great, close to Kings Canyon for hiking but lacking in other amenities. The service was a bit slow at times, but the staff were friendly and helpful. The dining options were not consistent, ranging from awful to very good. The rooms were conveniently close to the Canyon, but with some maintenance issues and insufficient privacy.

I had a fantastic stay at the hotel with a few minor drawbacks. The rooms are fine but a bit small, and there's no real space for a portacot. The service was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, although some improvements in the cleaning and maintenance of the bathrooms are needed. The location is lovely, overlooking Kings' Canyon, but there were some noisy arguments past 10 pm. The dining experience was good, with a variety of options, although the egg choices were limited. The hotel facilities were fairly basic but adequate.
