The people at the resort were very nice. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom very nice. The food in the restaurant in the evening was tasty but the complimentary breakfast was a bit lacking in quality though they did offer more fruit than other similar places. We stayed in several national park lodges in Tasmania and those lodgings were far superior to this one at much less cost. I know this is a remote location so that adds to the cost, but the accomodations and food provided did not warrant the price that was charged. ##### Frances Lee Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen Jun 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Kings Canyon Accommodation Two night stay; convenient for exploring Kings Canyon.
