Great location, remote Australian bush. Takes time to get there but worth it. Dirt roads from Blinman so you need a goood car. Heaps of wild life. The stars are amazing.

Great Visit

A very interesting place to visit. Outstanding scenery, great 4WD tracks to explore, many excursions available etc. The room was tired, bed good, no TV, internet was nearly non existant as was phone reception, good if you want to get off the grid. One coat hanger only in the wardrobe! Dont expect above average accommodation, but thats not why you go there. The staff and service was exceptionally good, friendly and accommodating. The jewel in the crown was the resteraunt, food quality was outstanding, a pleasure.

Wponderful experience in a natural setting

The staff could not be more helpful and accomodating. Prices of everything were much cheaper than I expected for a remote location. We were surrounded by wonderful natural setting and experiences. The astronomy observation experience was awesome with a very passionate and knowledgable guide. The food at the restaurant was 5 star quality and on offer was a fairl extensive menu. These people obviously love what they are doing and want to share their passion with guests. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Fantastic eco environment amazing work Only criticism is there was little or no acknowledgement of country. Even a sign on entry would be good. Not sure if this is policy. An example was the guide told us Mawson was the first conservationists. Not so the First Nations people were. The facilities were very good and seeing the emu’s euro’s and wallabys with no goats was fantastic. Thanks

beautiful nature and great hiking trails. the room at the greenwood lodge is absolutely ok for the price The kitchen in the lodge is minimal standard and not very clean. The laundry has 1 washing machine and is not really inviting for washing. If you write them an e-mail, please do not expect an answer!

Wonderful staff

Lovely staff but sadly the room we had was tired mainly as the bathroom was unpleasant and the floor was very gritty( we take our shoes off when entering accommodation so it was very evident that the floor had not been swept) Also despite 2 bath towels and a bath mat, there was no hand towel which meant we had to use one of the bath towels as a hand towel- this could potentially be a hygiene issue. The ridge top trip was excellent, learning so much from our guides, Gary and Macca. They were impressive!

A bit tired

Yes, i know this place is in the outback and good staff are probably hard to come by, but we felt this place was a bit over rated. Our accommodation was basic and the resort's focus was on catering for tour groups. I guess they provide regular repeat business, unlike freedom travellers like us. The Information provided on 4WD tracks and walks in the area was first class. The included breakfast was basic - fruit, cereal, toast and make your own instant tea and coffee. The yellow footed rock wallaby feeding and viewing each evening is a must attend. Best opportunity to see these gorgeous animals up close. So a mixed review but that's how we found it.
