Normally have a great stay but tonight waited one hour for my meal and eventually gave up, walked out, and caught a Taxi into town for dinner. A fabulous pizza at Bella, which are always great.

Pound walk in Ormiston Gorge - Amazing!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Don't forget the East MacDonnell Ranges. Well worth exploring and far fewer people.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

The loop road has now been finished, so that you can go to Hermannsburg and then around to Glen Helen and the gorges etc. It's a good option.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

Was closed due to Bush Fires.
