Great location of the Heysen Room with a view of the mountain. Quiet, peaceful. Friendly staff at the reception, Thank you to Irma for a nice chat, and lovely to speak to one of the locals by the fire at night. Can highly recommend the scenic flight over the Pound, scenery breathtaking and the commentary by the pilot so informative.

Anna Australia

This was a glamping experience and great room (tent) with view. Very quiet. Tavern/restaurant had very nice meals but lacked a bit of organization - had to ask here our meals were on both nights.

Graham Australia

We stayed in the Safari Tent with views of the reserve and mountains which was nice.

Jane Australia

The environment was great. The restaurant was surprisingly good especially the wine list and the meal - beautiful vegetables perfectly cooked
