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.

Would recommend but just for one night
Room was okay for one night- tired paintwork but clean enough and toilet block and showers were clean with plenty of hot water in the showers
The bar was great- good value happy hour and large selection of food. Food was a little dry but okay.
Had the buffet breakfast which was good value
Would recommend if passing through and need a place for one night
We stayed in the basic room- double bed but not en suite
