Discovery Resorts - Wilpena Pound

Explore Wilpena Pound in the stunning Flinders Ranges.

Wilpena Pound is a true outback experience and the perfect base to explore the world’s oldest mountain range, the mighty Flinders Ranges 430 kilometres north of Adelaide.

It's a mega impressive 800 million years old - and nowhere else on the planet can you view and touch 350 million years of almost unbroken geological history.

Much younger is the iconic Discovery Resorts - Wilpena Pound, the only accommodation within the Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park. From this welcoming sanctuary, visitors can enjoy an array of bucket-list experiences. These range from scenic flights, 4WD adventures, mountain biking and bushwalking, to a truly authentic Aboriginal guided cultural tour, ancient fossils and rock art.

When it comes to Flinders Ranges accommodation, the resort is as stunning as the landscape - and you’re spoiled for choice! Relax in an air-conditioned glamping tent with ensuite and private outdoor deck. Or choose one of the modern resort rooms that can sleep up to five people in hotel-style accommodation.  And close by are 40 powered campsites and 300 unpowered campsites that offer the ideal off-grid experience.

The resort restaurant suits all tastes, from pub-style classics to Australian cuisine with Indigenous ingredients and a wine list inspired by South Australia’s world-class wineries.   It’s open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with the bar open until late.

The bar is not the only drawcard when darkness descends. Without light pollution, the stargazing is some of the best in Australia (get sky maps from the visitor's centre).

The Ikara-Flinders Ranges and St Mary Peak have been home to the Adnyamathanha people for tens of thousands of years.

Now it’s your turn to revel in the breathtaking landscapes.
