Staying at this resort was a mixed bag for me. The rooms had some positives, like a clean bathroom and fresh sheets, but they really need a deep clean and some updates. While the location had its moments, especially with the local wildlife, the overall experience didn't feel like a true resort. For what I paid, I expected more comfort and better amenities.

Rooms
5.0
The rooms were somewhat comfortable but definitely showed their age. I found cobwebs and the toilet roll holder fell off, which didn't inspire confidence in cleanliness.

I didn't interact much with the staff, but there wasn't any standout service to mention. Still, it was decent enough.

The resort is in a location where you can occasionally see kangaroos at dusk, which is a unique touch. However, it's somewhat isolated with limited nearby amenities.

The amenities were quite lacking. The laundry facilities were poor for the size of the park, and there was no dump site on the premises, which was inconvenient.

I spent a few nights at this resort and had a mixed experience. The accommodation was relatively spacious, which I appreciated, especially the small kitchenette. However, there were several downsides including limited parking and inadequate laundry facilities. Overall, it was a decent stay, but some improvements are definitely needed.

The room I stayed in was quite spacious with a small kitchenette and a nice raindrop shower head in the bathroom. However, it did lack a bedside lamp and needed a bit more brightness.

Facilities could definitely use an upgrade; only two washing machines and one dryer were available for the size of the resort.

I had a mixed experience at the Outback Resort. While the location is convenient with basic amenities, it was marred by concerns about safety and poor maintenance. My stay was comfortable enough, but I felt uneasy due to theft warnings. The dining options were decent, but it was frustrating to find the Wi-Fi barely working and the property looking run-down.

I had mixed feelings about my stay here. The location is close to everything, making it convenient for dining out, which was a plus. However, the rooms were a bit outdated, and cleanliness was definitely an issue. Overall, it was decent value but could use some improvements in maintenance and service.

The rooms were quite old and could really use a refresh. Clean sheets were nice, but the pillowcases left much to be desired.
