### Coober Pedy Experience Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The greatest feature was the manager! Melissa is your star! The absent owner needs to return and do some maintenance, because it needs it. Meanwhile Melissa is doing the work of 3 people. The property has great potential and needs to support a manager who takes on the responsibilities of an owner. "

### Discovery Resorts – Wilpena Pound

10/10 Excellent

"The safari tent was excellent - really comfortable with great air conditioning, an enclosed bathroom, fridge and plenty of storage space. It was quite distant from reception and the restaurant, but also from the campground and units and had a view of the bush, making it extra peaceful and relaxing. Restaurant was ok, pricey for what it was and minimal, forgetful service, but given the remote location, very handy. Great location for exploring the national park and the tours available were great, including the sunset tour, 1 hour flight and Gorges tour. "
