“Good for a remote location”
+Location and friendly staff.
−The mouse that lived inside the wall of the living room, the airco in the bedroom didn’t function as it couldn’t be plugged in, the electricity had several short blackouts.

“Fantastic accommodation for a few days. to experience the activities available in and around”
+We were in Fauna Park house, which was private, with great views, plenty of space indoors and everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
−Nothing to complain about, given the remoteness which means limited water and occasional power shortage.

“A fantastic outback experience”
+Fantastic location
−Arrival was chaotic, no map to site, direction signs either obscured or totally confusing, eg our entrance was preceded by ‘private property, no entry’

“Nice location, basic but clean.”
+Location was tranquil. I didn't notice that it was away from the town, but it was lovely. Fire pit was great. The place was very clean and it was bigger than I expected.
−The house is basic. One room is actually outside the main house so we didn't use that room for that reason alone with kids. Chairs were new but an stupid design for a rental, so were all cracked. I let the main reception know and thought they'd reported that to the owner previously.

“Good set up for a remote experience”
+Great, basic accommodation option in a unique location. Looks a little bit tired but fine for the price and the share kitchen is a great idea. Thursday bbq was fabulous.
−Not much room by the time you put a single and double bed in the room . Only one PowerPoint (with USB charger) for the room but all fine for a couple of nights.

“Spectacular.”
+The location is really special. No comparison. The people were great. We loved the Ridgetop tour with Irving, one of the best drives of my life!
−We arrived after dark. It was REALLY difficult to find the house - I think it was called Fauna Lodge. We drove out three times before we found it. Better maps or signs, or some lighting would have been really helpful, or just a guide to take us out there. I realise everyone was busy and couldn't find the time to show us the place, but the last thing we needed after a really long drive was to have to spend more than an hour going back and forth in complete darkness down unfamiliar tracks to find the house. It may be clear enough in daytime but it certainly wasn't at night.

“A wonderful stay in an outstanding environment.”
+Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary is exceptionally located to enjoy the natural beauties of the Arkaroola landscape. Our accommodation, Wallaby Cottage, was beautifully sited, simple and comfortable. The main public areas are good and the restaurant provides very good food. The staff are very helpful and pleasant.
