Discovery Resorts - Wilpena Pound

A fabulous location on the edge of Wilpena Pound; well marked trail head and walk trails. A peaceful place. An informative Welcome to Country Nicely supplied bathroom, comfy beds, and easy supply of bottled water. Excellent dinners, coffee and wine in the restaurant. We enjoyed the options of guided tours to locations where we would not be able to get ourselves, or to understand the environment. We also appreciated advance warnings that maintenance work was going to be conducted during our stay.

Great place to stay. Beautiful and clean. Beds were so comfortable. Comfortable rooms. Breakfast was included and it was lovely with a wide selection. Just a walk to Wilpena Pound. Also other lovely trail walks. The reception staff were all amazing and helpful. We did a 4WD tag along and a walk around the Sacred Canyon with Rani. Rani was just so knowledgeable and just a pleasure to be around! A wonderful tour. We also did a 30 minute flight over Wilpena Pound. Cam was the pilot and so knowledgeable about the area. I felt very comfortable and safe with him. He knew I was a nervous flyer and reassured me continually. The day was perfect. Flight was just fabulous! Perfect location.

What a wonderful place! The staff were amazing, especially our tour guide Izzy, who also did a daily informative Welcome to Country. He told the traditional creation story for the area and conveyed a real sense of connection to his country. Breakfast was expansive and delicious. The evening menu included emu, kangaroo, and crocodile as well as more familiar dishes. Prices were on the high side, but that's expected for such a remote setting. Happy hour at the bar was well attended and gave the place a community feel. Our room was basic but very comfortable, particularly the bed. We slept so well, especially needed after some long and/or strenuous hikes. While we were there, there was an issue with the water treatment system, so we were liberally supplied with bottled water for drinking.

Welcome to country was excellent. Good reception staff. Rooms were comfortable, spacious with recently renovated bathrooms. Great location with easy access to walking trails. Well stocked IGA store on site. Ease of booking scenic flight and National Park pass at Resort reception. Management is currently making concerted efforts to limit inconvenience to guests caused by works on water filtration system.

The food was delicious. We ate at the restaurant for 3 nights and the food was unique and we enjoyed it all - very high standard. The location was excellent being close to walks etc. Service was friendly and helpful. Heater worked well and appreciated being provided with a microwave for my heat pack ( I suffer badly with arthritis).
