We stayed in our caravan on a powered site for 4 days at Glen Helen Resort and loved it. It is the perfect base for exploring further west to Gosse Bluff or even back around to Hermannsburg and Palm Valley Facilities were clean with just a little TLC to some door catches etc needed. BUT the Bar, Restaurant etc overlooking... More

Second visit in 18 months and stayed for three nights in the river/gorge view rooms. The location is really special and the river view rooms are a must as the view is beautiful, especially at sunrise and sunset (you need to book early to get these). The place has just the right atmosphere for an ex station homestead. The rooms... More

I stayed in an unpowered site on 18 April 2012. This is a great place with real friendly owners and staff. Now the real bomb to do is the chopper flight. This chopper has no doors which means no window reflection as you shoot. I took the flight over Ormiston Gorge then back through Glen Helen Gorge, video'd it in... More

Stopped here for a night on our road trip from Uluru to Alice Springs. Great location, right on the red cliffs of Glen Helen Gorge itself. Wish we had a room facing the Finke River, which cuts into the gorge at this point of the West Macdonnell Ranges! Kids enjoyed skimming stones into the waterhole and great birdlife abounds. Staff...

We stopped here for 1 night as part of a 3-day trip from Alice to Uluru. Glen Helen is nothing flash but it's location is amazing, the various staff are friendly and the meal in the restaurant was ridiculously good - totally unexpected to have such a brilliant meal in such a remote spot. We got up at dawn to... More

This is a nice little outback escape. It's a bit of a trek to get to but if you plan things well you could stay at glen Helen, then kings canyon, then onto ayers rock.. Unfortunately that's not how I did it lol. There is nothing flash bout this place but that's not what's it about. Your in the country... More

Shelagh, the owner and manager of this motel was so friendly with us! It was our honey moon and she had nice attention for us and it made our stay unforgettable. The location is great with a wonderfull nature around, we enjoyed the diner. The accomodation are simple but cleanand functional. Staff is very nice. We hope to have the... More

After a couple of days roughing it in Finke Gorge National Park and the West Macs we thought we'd give the local economy a boost and visit Glen Helen Resort as a few years ago we had a great time down by the waterhole and later at the bar and were looking forward to a similar experience. This time the... More
