Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A walk to do.
Spectacular scenery walking the Heysen Trail with views of the Elder Range, then walking into Wilpena Pound, stopping at Hills Homestead and onto Wilpena Pound Information Centre.

Landscape and views were sensational. Grading of walks was true. Second morning was the hardest with steep section up and down but rest of days were more rocky rather than steep with plenty of time allowed. Guides were knowledgeable of region, history, fauna and flora. Also friendly, caring, helpful and patient. Food was fresh, plentiful, tasty and healthy. Accommodation could be upgraded. Queen size room in unit was too small for bed and gear. Bathroom which could be shared by for up to 6 walkers had toilet in it which was awkward especially trying to get out early in mornings. Plenty of other options on-site which could be offered as an upgrade. Rating would be 5 except for having to share the small unit.

The Goldfields Track Walk around the Daylesford area was outstanding! I loved every moment of the 4 days with 5 very friendly women plus our amazing guides Bianca and Lorinda. We walked on a wide variety of tracks, each with its own highlights, though being a history lover, I found the Eureka Reef Walk particularly inspiring. I was able to complete all walks, but the option to shorten or omit sections was available at all times.
Our guides provided a wealth of information on various topics throughout the 4 days and I learnt a lot, even about things that I never thought would interest me eg fungi. The scenery was varied with opportunities for many photos of breath-taking views. There were several cultural experiences (bakery & chocolaterie excursions, visits to 'The Convent' and the Hepburn Bathhouse) included and one 2 hour block of choose-your-own-adventure. Many chose to relax in different ways at our accommodation but I loved doing the Heritage Walk around the Daylesford township, even though I ran out of time to complete it.
Both the accommodation (even without using the outside area which would be amazing in warmer months) and meals (nutritious, delicious and a wide range to choose from) were excellent. I was sorry when the 4th day ended. I certainly intend returning to the area (all new to me prior to this trip) on my own to complete the Daylesford Heritage Walk, view some of the other things the town and those nearby have to offer and enjoy some of the tracks we didn't cover on this trip. I would recommend this Walk to anyone with a love of being outdoors to enjoy healthy recreation and a reasonable level of fitness (easier than many walks I have been on). Gaining new knowledge is an added bonus.

Our team loved having you onboard our recent Daylesford-Goldfields walk and we are so glad you enjoyed the whole experience.
After the floods and severe weather late last year we had to reinvent this itinerary and we are so glad you enjoyed it.
We hope to see you again soon and we value your support. Best wishes from the team @ Park Trek

This was our first ever guided walk of more than a day in an unfamiliar group. Despite the tracks being graded easy / moderate, at times walking was not exactly a "walk in the park". We perhaps weren't prepared for some of the slippery surfaces or having to be alert for quite a bit of the time. Despite this we managed really well and were well satisfied with completing it.
Our guides were very personable, polite, kind, funny and worked very hard to respond to our needs. They were great cooks and time managers and responsible drivers. They humored us (being slightly older than them) and engaged us in interesting conversations.
We had a lovely room. Facilities were clean, warm enough and very comfortable. No complaints.
Food was amazing. Great recipes. Beautifully cooked. No complaints.
Cost may be a bit of a barrier to regularly doing these kinds of activities.
We probably would have benefited from a quick chat to someone before we went as one of us might have taken walking poles.
A little bit more info on the natural wildlife would have been great.
Breaking up some of the longer walking stretches might have helped make things a bit more interesting, although it does feel good to have achieved a decent amount of the track.

Great hiking trip. Quality accommodation, lovely food & great guides. Can’t help the Tassie weather changing itineraries! Guides ensured we still had places to go when the weather prevented us going out into the Capes.
Would definitely recommend this company.

The reward of magnificent scenery had to he the highlight of the four days Our Park Trek guides looked after our every need were experienced well versed about vegetation its inhabitants and many of the spectacular rock formations.
At the end of each day our very energetic hosts prepared scrumptious meals. Nothing was left to chance. Could not help but have the very best time and experience.

Dear Cindy,
We appreciate you taking the time to write a review, and we are clearly disappointed we failed to meet your expectations. We have undertaken a review of your experience, and we apologise for the mix up our end regarding rooming communications in particular. Your feedback is taken seriously and we will learn from it. We will certainly do better next time, and we hope you might give us an opportunity to reset your trust in Park Trek.
Kind regards,

Having done other walks with other companies, our group of eight ladies found Park Trek to be equal if not better than these. Their pricing was competitive and the accommodation, organisation and food was of a high standard. Even though some of the weather wasn't ideal our competent and knowledgable guides, Rose and Bernie, took this into account and adjusted our hikes to suit. They made sure all of the group was catered for with dietary requirements and the hikes were suited to the varying abilities and interests of the group. We would thoroughly recommend Park Trek to anyone wishing to explore this area through Cradle Mountain and the Tarkine 5 day walk as it gives such a variety of terrain, landscapes, flora and fauna.

We had the most wonderful four days walking the Bay of Fires Tasmania with Park Trek. Their guides Bianca and Jess were fabulous so knowledgeable and kind. Not only that but fabulous cooks. The Icena shearer’s quarters were so comfortable we had such fun there.
Couldn’t recommend the company more highly.

Fantastic walks in the Snowy Mountains with 2 Park Trek guides. A magical scene along the Thredbo River while snowing.Climbed to the top of Mt Kosciuszko in challenging conditions. Did some other bush walks, no snow, what a contrast. Finally, a different view of Mt Kosciuszko on the way to Mt Stilwell.
Knowledgeable guides who looked after us well.
Great accommodation organized.

Of course no problems Julia. Our feedback forms on the trip with guides are for internal use and reflect the intricacies of the trips and how they run. We ask all guests to feel free to leave a comment on trip advisor and it is completely optional to do so.
