Outlook over the gorge rock walls was fabulous. Very short walk to the gorge. Great outdoor bar area.

The location was fantastic, staff helpful and meal very good

Nice place, close to the river, where is a small sandy beach (and no crocodiles). Quite, clean, comfortable room, what you could expect from the motel room. Good enough breakfast. Option for dinner (next restaurant - many kilometers...). Option for your cloths: large washer and drier with coins for the common use. Good place to stay when visiting all the sightseeing areas nearby.

Great rooms, we’ll appointed and conveniently located amongst all the sites of the West McD Ranges

Amazing location with escarpment views right at the door. Swimming and exploring Glen Helen gorge a short walk away. Other hikes and places to explore along the West Macdonnell Ranges quite close. Very cute, comfy, clean room. Nice outdoor deck to sit and eat meals.

escarpment view apartments were wonderful- quiet and cosy with everything we needed. great staff and fantastic breakfasts.

Great location - beautiful view. Updated rooms - good shower, comfy bed, quiet. Excellent meal and great service from the chef and bar staff. There is no choice in this area really but they go out of their way to provide an excellent offering

Rooms were very clean and looked like newly renovated. fantastic location, river was great to swim in and we had a front cabin which had a fantastic view.

Really enjoyed the waterhole site location of this superb outback region. Warm, unpretentious welcome and setting added to the overall ambience.

They offer comfortable, secure accommodations in a remote location near wonderful hikes and walks. The site itself has a restaurant with good dinners and a long deck outside facing the river and a lovely red rock outcropping. It has a shared laundry.
