Great place, we stayed in the safari tents, compact but all we needed. Showers and toilets were very close, as was camp kitchen and camp fire. Didn't eat in restaurant, as we cooked both the nights we were there. Fantastic nights spent around the campfire under the stars, lots of people from different states and countries loads of fun. Cooked breakfast was included, which was really good too. Would definitely stay there again if we were in the area

There aren't very many accommodation options around Uluru/Ayers Rock, and this property takes advantage of that. This is a caravan park suited for those driving with a trailer/RV. Even though the instructions say they are open until 8pm, at 7pm the gates are closed and there is no food served beyond then. The safari tents are right next to one another - so you will be OK if you don't mind hearing your neighbors. Bed was comfortable and we were warm enough. Communal kitchen has very basic supplies - take your own. Communal bathrooms were clean. Nice fire pit area. Breakfast is provided but make sure to arrive at least 15 min before the 9am cut off - otherwise you will be yelled at by the cook, and potentially not served. We were disappointed - this was an expensive overnight to see Uluru on the way to Alice Springs and we felt cheated.

It’s a tent but it’s a good place. The Kings Canyon is a good walk.

My only complain would be the price of the accomodation. The toasted sandwich was the best I have ever tasted.

Response from KCS on 6 May 2019

Thanks for your review. Our prices are slightly higher than city prices due to the large distance all goods and services need to travel, making transport cost large. Glad you liked your toasted sandwich! Safe Travels, KCS

Safari Tent Experience

Room smaller than expected and with 2 single beds. Shifted the beds together. That was the only negative. Amenities were clean and close by. Camp fire was great. Breakfast was included and this was a pleasant inclusion.

Thank you for your review. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us. The rooms are very compact, just enough to rest your head after enjoying the beauty of the Central Australian outback. The campfire is always a hit with visitors to the Station and our breakfast is pretty tasty, even if we do say so ourselves! Safe Travels, KCS

Pricing needs to be reviewed. Bookings do not automatically include two ppl, as most accommodation presumes and you pay extra for the 2nd person. Would be better just to have a reasonable price for one/two ppl inclusive. Sunday morning the cleaning staff were out at sunrise cleaning the bathroom and kitchen area; as ppl were just organising their breakfast and or preparing for their day. Made us all feel really unwelcome. I don't know that I felt I got real value for money on this occasion. And as a local territorian, I worry that if I wasn't bowled over, then international tourists will be even less so...

Thanks for the feedback. Our camp kitchen is generally cleaned in the morning as the price of the cabins includes a fully cooked breakfast in our Bough Shed. Mornings the camp kitchen are usually very quiet and therefore cleaning causes less disruption to our guests. Sorry for any inconvenience. Safe Travels, KCS

We decided to go here as theKings Canyon resort seemed far too pricey. The staff at the accommodation were all friendly. However our canvas shelter tent was very small and right behind the toilets and showers so we could here the people in the night going back and forth. The tent is only big enough for two cots, a small table between and room at the end of the bed for a bag each. Luckily we were there during cooler month otherwise the atmosphere in the tent would have been stifling. Breakfast was good and again the staff were very friendly. At night if you needed a meal the only options was one of about five burgers. Yet I noticed the staff who ate with us got other meals. I couldn't understand why we couldn't order those as well. Considering we paid about $200 per night it is not good value. I know it is isolated but really in this day and age you can do better. It was an experience and would I return no way.

Thanks for your feedback. Our Safari Cabins are compact and are fitted with heaters in winter and coolers in summer for comfort. Due to our remoteness, the cafe does have a limited menu. Self cook BBQ pack are available. Safe Travels, KCS

Good location for travel kings canyon. 킹스캐년까지 당일 왕복이 부담스러우시면 간단히 잠만 자고오기 좋은곳. Cabin이라 2인용 조그만 군대 텐트같지만 생각보다는 괞챦네요. 공용욕식.공용하장실 생각보다 깨끗합니다,

Lugar horroroso y caro

Mal lugar como todo el Ooutback. Precios exageradamente caros e instalaciones pésimas. Es lo que pasa cuando no hay nada de competencia en la zona, que aunque prestes un mal servicio la gente acude igual porque no queda otra cosa.

Froid froid FROID

De passage pour une nuit en safari cabine, endroit sympa mais perdu au milieu du désert. Tente semi rigide très sommaire, nous avons eu très froid malgré le petit chauffage d’appoint, couvertures et habits de ski (très chauds)... réveil à cause du froid à 4h30, nuit horrible, néanmoins nous avons pu être au lever du soleil à kings canyon. Seul le coût était « correct » pour le centre...

Basic but clean and comfortable accomodation. You get what you see: small tent with shared bathroom at high price, but it's the best deal you'll get near the canyon. Amazing sunset views and nice breakfast, you can get it packed the night before if you are an early bird (and you MUST be early if you don't want to be sun-baked during the walk!).

Las cabañas son tiendas de campaña con suelo de obra. Están bien, pero no dejan de ser lo que son. Aunque había un radiador eléctrico, por la noche pasamos bastante frío (en Agosto). Los baños compartidos son en una estructura prefabricada, son completos. El lugar tiene una tienda/restaurante con comida básica, pero cierra pronto (creo que a las 6), así que para cenar es mejor buscarse una alternativa (y no hay muchas en la zona).

Stay away

Stay away from that hotel with tent rental. Before arriving I have booked two rooms. At arriving only one room left but later I was able to rent enother tent. The price was then a lot more than double. They told me that it was a common problem and the fault was from hotels.com. I have never had that problem before. Anyone else who have expirienced that kind of fraud
