• Greg (9/5): -
• David (10/5): - Everything was great. The staff were superb. Not much.
• Steve Rodgers (10/5): What a fantastic experience would high recommend - Great food, easy to travel to other great sites and locations. Staff were great and the glamping was excellent. The pool was refreshing especially after a walk through many of the gorges and other great sites. Not applicable everything was great

• Emma (7/5): Emma Gorge is a truly beautiful place to experience. - Emma Gorge is set in a stunning location, with spectacular landscapes and well-appointed facilities that make the stay feel very special. The resort had only just reopened following recent bushfires. The dinner service was warm and attentive, and the food was excellent. One area that could be improved is communication. In the lead-up to our stay, we emailed several times to arrange transport but unfortunately didn’t receive a reply. Information around the reopening of facilities after the fires was also inconsistent, which made planning a little difficult.
• reinhold (10/5): Außergewöhnliche Lage mit Schlucht Aufstieg und Badesee ganz oben - Frühstück na ja an das schlafen im Zelt muss man sich gewöhnen
• Skabo (7/5): Wish we could have afforded AC accommodation! - Emma Gorge was fantastic and we walked early and enjoyed a swim. Breakfast and dinner were excellent and the service friendly and accommodating. Not the fault of the property but we struck hot weather and the tent was uncomfortably hot except for a couple of hours early morning. We tried to cool down by getting wet in the pool and sitting in the shade but still very hot.
• Heather (10/5): -
• Eric (8/5): -
• Jules (7/5): -
• Linda (6/5): It was a lovely location, but way too dear for a glorified tent. I was also disappointed with the staff who said they wo - The pool and the natural environment and the bird life. While sitting at the pool at 4pm in the afternoon some bright spark decided to jump on the ride on mower and cover us in dust. It was also very noisy.
• David (6/5): Nice but expensive for what you get - Very overpriced considering the standard of accomodation you can get at half the price at home valley station etc up the road a bit but it was a nice place great food and great staff and lovely gorge I just wouldn’t bother staying there at that price. Great staff and food
• Paul (8/5): Very good -
• Michelle (7/5): Good -
• Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
• Martha (9/5): Superb -
• Sharron (8/5): A great place to explore the outback from - A different kind of accommodation No telly & wifi in the glamping tent… considering everything closed up @ 7pm
• Luca (9/5): Great location - Great location, sumptuous breakfast, fantastic accommodation and very good mains Staff very professional but a tad impersonal
• Matthew (10/5): Relaxed accommodation site within the shadow of Emma Gorge - Great location in close proximity to Emma Gorge. Wonderful glamping accommodation immersed into the Kimberley wilderness. While generally pleasant, the customer service staff at Emma Gorge lacked proactive management/ hospitality training.
• Kate (10/5): Great place to stay with excellent staff - The breakfast was well presented and a good variety of food available. Having a soy allergy made the choice limited
• Tony (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ian (3/5): The most disappointing resort we’ve stayed in - The breakfast was very basic. They ran out of cups which were not replaced. They ran out of small plates not replaced. They ran out of fresh fruit. Little choice of bread. There was only instant coffee. Not impressed at all. No keys to lock rooms. Room not serviced for over 24 hours. Staff at reception surly and unhelpful. Untrained backpackers running the resort. Dinner menu short of choices and quality poor. Overcooked meat, expensive.
• Janine (7/5): It is a special spot, but you pay a premium for it. - The breakfast had limited options for vegetarian, but was good considering the remoteness. It is all location, location, location. The track to Emma Gorge was hard on the knees but worth it. The staff at reception were mixed. I asked to get my bag picked up from my room because I didn't have a car, they said yes, but no one came. But helpful when I asked about the transfer back to Kunnunurra.
• Terence (6/5): nice nut more attention needs to be given to actual condition of the accommodation - Staff were friendly and the eating areas and proximity to the gorge were highlights Hot water heater broke down first night which was not an uncommon issue generally in the resort
• Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional - The food was superb
• M (9/5): Superb -
• Pamela (10/5): A beautiful place to stay to immerse yourself in nature yet still have the comforts of home. - Serene setting around the pool and restaurant. A great place to relax after the walk and swim in the gorge. Great food at the restaurant. Glamping tents were great- clean, own ensuite,comfortable bed. ✅ I would stay here rather than El Questro which is more open and can get busy. Nothing
• Sheila (8/5): Very good -
• Nicholas (8/5): Very good -
• Glenn (9/5): Not to be missed - Amazing location and first rate facilities and food given its location. In fact this is my recommendation for El Questro accommodation even compared to the Homestead at El Questro. The water crossings into Emma Gorge resort warrant some maintenance.
• Hatturo (7/5): Enjoyed our stay, however, overpriced. - Great location to see the gorges, resort style atmosphere, comfortable accommodation, friendly and helpful staff. Limited menu options for dining, focus & catering was geared more toward tour groups than individuals.
• Demps (9/5): Superb - Beautiful location and very good facilities. Alcohol range and price.
• Louise (8/5): Comfort in remote beautiful Kimberly - Comfort at the end of a day is important to me. It is such a wonderful area, remote and unspoiled It’s on the expensive side
• Susan (10/5): Fantastic - Emma Gorge Resort was so beautifully set out. Our accommodation was extremely comfortable and the meal in the restaurant was delicious. Thank you
• Malcolm (8/5): Very good -
• Lee (8/5): Very good -
• Dudley (10/5): Total lovely experience. Highly recommend - Breakfast was excellent. Catered for all dietary requirements. Room was excellent. Resort was excellent. Would have liked a hair dryer in the room
• Regina (9/5): Bearutiful location, great facilities and staff. -
• Alana (8/5): Very good - Staff were incredible, service was excellent. Probably the best service we have had in Aus! Room was great and comfortable, having your own bathroom too was amazing.
• Geraldine (9/5): The staff were so welcoming friendly and helpful - Location plus breakfast included Self cooking facilities
• Jamie (9/5): Superb -
• Gianfrancesco (4/5): Disappointing - Position was very convenient No wifi in the room, no fridge, too expensive for the services offered
• Jo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Louise (3/5): Quite disappointing - Very nice and helpful staff The swimming pool had no water in it. The distance to the Station, from where most of tours departed was much greater than expected and the road much rougher. It was not suitable for our 4 wheel drive and we had to pay $80/person transfers to get over to the station each time we went on a tour. The menu at the Emma restaurant is pretty restricted. The cabins were quite comfortable but very small. I am not sure why they put the 2 single beds in the room with the queen bed as it further restricts the tight space. I cannot imagine 4 people in that room. I think they would be better with one queen and add extra child beds if required.
• Peter (9/5): Always special to be at Emma Gorge, with comfortable accommodation nestled in peaceful surrounds. - Love the whole layout at Emma Gorge - very special. Love the proximity to the gorge walk. Buffet breakfast service was not always up to scratch - food not replenished after your groups had eaten everything!!
• Sam (9/5): Superb -
• Stephen (8/5): Very enjoyable - Great all round experience
• Melford (9/5): Ecellent - All top quality. A "horse" to hang clothes on would be good.
• Katherine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rachel (9/5): Comfort in a gorgeous setting - Our glamping tent was so comfortable to come home to after some challenging walks. A hot shower, nice amenities and a comfortable bed. the staff were excellent and the restaurant served delicious food. a fridge or cold box would be really useful.
• John (10/5): Exceptional -
• Melanie (9/5): Superb -
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yevgeny (10/5): Nice place to stay - We spent two nights at Emma Gorge Resort after eight days in the bush, and it was a nice way to transition back to civilization. Everything was fine. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
