Kings Canyon Wilderness Lodge Experience
The exclusive tented cabins offer the ultimate outback accommodation. There are 10 individual, reverse cycle air-conditioned exclusive tented safari style cabins with full private ensuite bathroom facilities. All tented cabins are well separated, raised off the red earth, fully fly screened and have their own private decking with chairs for you to sit and relax whilst watching the colours of the sky change as the sun fades. One of the cabins has a claw foot double bath, making it suitable for that special occasion.

The king size beds can be separated to 2 x singles if required. All high quality bed linen and towels are provided along with a selection of personal toiletries. Each tent has been named after an Australian person prominent in the area and his/her history can be found in the compendium within your cabin.

In the evening, you are requested to gather before dinner in the lounge area to meet any other resort guests. You will be welcomed with a complimentary drink (alcohol if you choose) and a nibbles platter by the warm, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Dinner and breakfast are included in your tariff.

Gourmet Australian outback meals are served inside the quaint dining/lounge communal area or in the warmer months under the southern sky. For single travellers the opportunity to meet and share travel knowledge with like minded guests in such a wilderness location is perfect. Sample such delicacies as camel, kangaroo and barramundi. After dinner, enjoy the serenity of the outback with fellow guests as you relax with a glass of wine around the crackling campfire or marvel at the myriad of stars in the clear night sky seen through the high powered telescope.

A range of optional activities also for independent travellers are available from the station including escorted quad bike rides, camel rides and helicopter flights over Kings Canyon, the Central Ranges and remote waterholes. (all charges payable direct). Kings Canyon was formed by water eroding fault lines in the ridge, its orange ochre walls rising more than 100m from the plain. Several marked walking tracks pass the main scenic points, including a semi-permanent waterhole, the Garden of Eden, which supports a lush stand of ancient cycads, as well as a family of ducks. You can walk the 6km loop track, which climbs to the summit, past strange dome formations to spectacular viewing points into the canyon and across the desert floor or take a shorter 2km track which provides access to the lower section and is advisable for those less mobile, especially in summer when temperatures can soar dangerously. The trails give a wide berth to an important sacred Aboriginal site but the 6km loop passes more rock art where children's handprints mark a small cave. Other popular sites include locations for the movie Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert, parts of which were filmed here. Our Environment Kings Canyon Wilderness Lodge is a fully accredited eco business.
