  • "Amazing tranquil setting. Initially booked for two nights and stayed five. Facilities were exceptionally clean and the service at the cafe was first class. A real jewel in the Northern Territory. Highly recommend this destination"

    – Paul B.

  • "The walk is easy and well worthwhile to see the incredible rock colours. Timing your visit to give you the best experience might be good. You will have to pay to do this walk. The brochure says it is wheelchair and stroller friendly but it is not, too rough"

    – Ian M.

  • "The most inspiring place I have ever seen. Beautiful in the extreme. Short 15 min walk to Chasm. Lovely little camp ground and great Cafe and gift shop."

    – Annie M.

  • "My highlight of my NT trip. Absolutely stunning spot. Feels like no where else in the world. Gorgeous tall red rock lines the chasm. Loved the short 10min walk there, amongst the shrubs, hills and gums of this beautiful country. Great amenities and well worth the trip. Great spot to take photos, will definitely go back on my next visit to the NT."

    – Jasper L.
