Kings Canyon Resort

Watarrka National Park, Australia

Prices From: $75 - $125

Kings Canyon Resort is located in a loop off the main highway running between Ayers Rock and Alice Springs. The sensitively designed resort is just seven kilometres from Watarrka National Park, the home of the magical sandstone formation of Kings Canyon.

Committed to the best environmental practices, the resort has been built to blend harmoniously within the surroundings. That is not to say the accommodation is basic! Kings Canyon Resort offers a wide range from the campground that enjoys the outdoor stillness of the Red Centre to deluxe spa rooms - offering understated opulence rather unexpected in such a remote location.

As the sun sets over the desert landscape, enjoy a drink at the George Gill Bar before dinner. Dining options range from a true Australian Outback BBQ and Grill to a delicious buffet selection at Carmichael's Restaurant to an exclusive and intimate fireside dining experience, Sounds of Firelight. The Desert Oaks Café offers a selection of light meals, beverages and snacks, for lunch or a quick meal on the run.

It is the perfect oasis from which to explore the wonders of Kings Canyon including the amazing rock formation called the Lost City and the Garden of Eden an oasis of an entirely different kind at the foot of the Canyon. The flora of Kings Canyon offers a clear indication that the climate of this whole area was once vastly different.

Kings Canyon is a whole other world and the experiences to be had here can be replicated nowhere else. Be free to enjoy the rim walk on your own or join a guided tour to learn about the evolution of this remarkable place. Whatever you do, ensure you witness it's vastness from above, either in a helicopter or from the rim – the pinnacle of the rim walk.
