Discovery Resorts - Wilpena Pound

Stayed in Edeowie room.Nice spacious clean rooms with tv,small fridge,microwave,stovetop & all dishes etc for self catering. We also ate in restaurant & food was very good. Staff all friendly & helpful. We had a flight & booked a couple of tours with young Samuel who was a great driver & guide & extremely knowledgeable.(well worth doing!) Trey who we did a half hour flight with also was great…very informative and made us feel relaxed with his flying & humour. Thank you all for our great stay…Joan & Ari

just had a meal at the resturant. I ordered Scotch fillet @ $ 46.00. I am an ex butcher and the steak I got wasn't Scotch fillet. it was cooked medium rare as i ordered but I needed a chainsaw to cut it and needed a mincer to make it tender enough to eat. A lot of gristle. I couldnt eat it .Told the waiter that I was dissatisfied and was told sorry. I don't usually write reviews but there was no offer to supply me a replacement steak or anything like that. The resort was itself was great, friendly service and very helpful staff. Would recommend the park but not the resturant.

This review is only relevant for powered caravan sites 1 and 2 and powered tent sites 1 and 2. The map that is given in reception is not to scale, nor are there signs for tent sites 1 and 2. We were given caravan powered site 2, when we arrived at the site there were 2 tents set up. Back to reception, they said they would send a staff member to sort it out. The staff member spent 15 minutes trying to find powered tent sites 1 and 2 and was also confused by the map. The tents in our caravan site should have been in powered tent site 2. The staff mamber said we could park our caravan in tent site 2, however they site was not suitable to park a caravan. Staff went to the people in canavan site 2 and told them to move their tents etc to tent site 2 and left. We sorted out that the tents could stay were they were and we parked our van on the same large site and share for the 2 nights we were both in the park. About a hour later another car looked very lost and was driving around. They came to van site 1 and asked if that was the tent site - lucky we now knew where powered tent site 1 was and walked them over to their site. Apart from the confusion with the sites the park is well run, IGA is well stocked with food and some camping equipment. Free drinking water in 10L cubes is available for all campers. Location of the park means there are several walks that start within the park, and easy access to drive to other attractions in the area. We will visit again, would be good if the park could sort out signs for powered tent sites 1 and 2 and make the map more to scale (or at least have the powered sites opposite each other thr same on the map)

We stayed in an unpowered site and were not informed that there were arborists pruning trees in and around our campsite from 8am-5pm during our entire stay (with tree branches falling 3m from our tent). The loud wood chipper and electric saws entirely compromised the serenity and there was saw dust flying into our eyes and food... We understand that the campsite needs to be maintained but not informing people that this will be happening during their stay is hazardous and in very poor form, considering many drive 5+ hours to get there. We ended up being completely refunded for our stay but really had to push for this with the assistant manager.

We stayed in the glamping accommodation. The 2 person room is about 25sq metres, with air con and a balcony entry. There is alsoan adjoining bathroom. Other accommodation is more regular resort style. There is also powered and unpowered camp sittes. Large dining and bar area

The rooms are clean and very comfortable but get one with self catering if you are staying for a few days. The store has enough food to make meals. Wilpena Pound resort is situated in a magnificent woodland of red gums. The walks are stunning with rehabilitated bush, now goats have been removed. Some of the walks are on flat open roads, so easier to access for people who have balance issues or can’t walk far. You can still enjoy the natural beauty everywhere you look. You can also choose to take a shuttle bus along one of the walks. The cultural walking tour is a must do. It was so relaxing to choose a walk each day, take it slowly and be surprised by the diversity of vegetation, the changing light on the rocks and the local wildlife you encounter on the way.

I stayed here for two nights and had a wonderful experience. The service was excellent overall, the reception staff were warm, welcoming, and very helpful. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and in great condition. The food service was quick, delicious, and reasonably priced, especially considering the remoteness of the area and the quality provided. The location is also ideal, with easy access to all the hikes the national park has to offer. I’ll definitely be coming back! Extra points for the thoughtful birthday detail they prepared for my partner, it made our stay even more special

Came here to stay as it’s a central location for adventuring around Flinders Rangers. Got a powered tent site. Another reason to pick here is they have a mini supermarket and a restaurant and pool. As I am motorcycle camping this is all a bonus as no need to carry food or cook. The restaurant food was delicious, and the pool very cooling. The ice blocks at the supermarket and cold beer are amazing on a 36 degrees day. A top up of petrol from there petrol station and continue adventuring! It’s a great Hub to explore from!
