We stayed here with our 2 young children in April in a Deluxe Spa room with 2 x queen beds. Our schedule only allowed one night but wish we could have stayed 2. I felt the room was pretty luxurious for the middle of the outback, and after completing the rim walk would have loved to make use of the... More

We traveled from Uluru to get here. On the way our tour guide told stories of the area and local people keeping us entertained on the journey. The resort was good and rooms clean and tidy. The view from the room made me think the we were alone in the outback even though we were in the middle of the... More

We stayed one night in a Deluxe Spa room and found it to be excellent. Lovely and spacious room that was decorated very tastefully. Plenty of seating options provided in room including dining table and chairs, sofa and outdoor table and chairs. A nice touch in the room was the two champagne glasses provided which we used when sharing a... More

Hi all the way from Central Australia, Kings Canyon Resort is the most isolated resort in the country, especially given the distance from any coastal sea shore, incredible to think, we're 3 full days in driving distance from any ocean. All our supplies come via huge big long Road Trains and rail, nearly 2300km away, so arriving at Kings Canyon... More

Our family of 5 stayed in two deluxe spa units for one night in April. The rooms were spacious and beds comfortable but the main feature of the room is the large spa bath overlooking the red rocky landscape through the large picture windows, really quite spectacular. The major downside to both our rooms was the appalling smell, hard to... More

My wife an I stayed at the Kings Canyon Resort for three nights and decided to spoil ourselves and stay in a deluxe spa room. The room was tucked away at the top of the resort and very quiet. The room was very spacious with a nice genuine two person spa overlooking the rocky outcrop. A king size bed was... More

Hi There, Great news that you've enjoyed the Deluxe Spa Room upgrade, well done ! I love the large picture window looking out at the red colored rocks and natural garden landscape. Just as you've written, so many people love the extra little advantages in these wonderful rooms in comparison to the Resort Standard rooms, great that they both have... More

Really enjoyed our stay. When we booked we were upgraded to the Deluxe Spa room -- an end unit with a spa tub and a porch that looked out on a wilderness area. It felt very secluded and private, and the wilderness view was really lovely. The room (2 queen beds), was large, with a table and chairs and a... More

Stayed March 4 to 5 (2 nights) Hotel – a “resort”, with loads of facilities but thankfully no “night life”, 7km north of Kings Canyon.

A clean and well kept 3 stars hotel in North America standard. We had the spa /deluxe room, large, clean, simple and with an outside balcony.

Hello happy travelers, thank you for spending a few minutes to write up a few words and comments about Kings Canyon Resort, the natural beauty here is reflecting 200 to 300 million year old landscape which came from tectonic plate movement and early aboriginal culture and amazingly dating back some 50,000 years with that early human occupation. This central heart... More

We 3 girls shared a quad room. After the Pioneer Resort at Uluru, this was very downmarket. The room was larger but dirty, the beds lumpy and the air-conditioning could not be controlled. As a result, we slept all night in all our clothes and couldn't wait to leave in the morning. We stumbled upon the main hotel restaurant where... More

Hello Girls, I totally understand how you feel, my only thoughts:- it may have possibly been a better choice if you had opted for a Resort Standard room with the same level of choices you had previously experienced at Outback Pioneer at Ayres Rock. The room that you had was designed for backpackers or extended families traveling on tight budgets... More
