Kings Canyon Accommodation

Two night stay; convenient for exploring Kings Canyon. Knew it was basic accommodation but it’s the only place to stay. Shared bathroom and a big kitchen area. Washing machines and clothes line. Met lots of interesting people travelling around Australia.

We enjoyed our stay at Kings Canyon resort. Disappointed that the restaurant was closed. When paying $500+ per night don’t expect to have just pub meals for dinner. Staff were excellent

This place had nice views . The room was pretty big but couldve done with a basin .wouldve been a quiet room but kids in next room were sick so could hear them coughing . Not the propertys fault . The bistro was a big space but half the meals on menu were unavailable and we went early but the meals we got were very tasty . The staff were pretty plesant and the one woman musician was good too.
The camel burger . A bit dry but still very tasty

Rented a standard queen cabin which was more like a prison cell with a bed on a metal frame that was very squeaky and had a thin mattress. Nowhere to hang clothes or put them away. Air conditioner was loud and barely worked. Communal bathrooms had good showers and were never crowded. The sunset viewing deck was great.

The room was ok, but we were not advised when booking that the room did not have a bathroom, but a group/common bathroom and toilet that was a 30 meter outside walk. The price we aid for the room should have included a private bathroom within the room.
