From the minute we arrived we were treated like royalty. Everyone did everything to make our stay amazing. Waterhole view room was an absolute treat seeing the animals go for a drink at their pleasure. The restaurant was great and buffet breakfast was perfect with real coffee included. Can’t believe we have this amazing park 40 mins from the city of Adelaide, we will be back.

The web site photos do justice for what to expect. As soon as you walk in the staff are warm and wanting to help you.
The Amenities were clean and modern.
We also toured the Monarto Zoo which was another highlight of our trip.
Do yourself a favour and enjoy this wonderful place and experience.

We were particularly impressed with the hotel staff, who were obviously very well trained in hospitality, and with the cleanliness of our room. The restaurant and breakfast food was good. Best of all was the twilight safari operated by Monarto Safari Park staff. Our biggest suggestion for improving the resort experience is that the car park is moved to the side of the hotel so that people with rooms facing the car park have something more attractive to see. We also suggest that walking tracks around the hotel are constructed. It’s a wonderful environment for walks.

The bus trips are a fantastic way to find out interesting facts about the animals and how and who your money helps. Highly recommend them.

Breakfast was excellent all round. Staff were great, more than ample choice of cereal, juices and hot food. Toaster was a bit slow!
Only disappointment of whole stay was the evening meal menu - could not buy a steak or a schnitzel! Limited choice - we didn't go back the second night. Up market fine dining not really our cup of tea! Some more basic options would have been better.

This review is just about the resort not the safari park, which was really good. We had a number of problems, which weren't very well dealt with.
While transfers from the Resort to the Park were fine, getting back wasn't good. The first time we needed a transfer, it took so long, the park staff were about to give us a lift. The second time, the transfer just didn't turn up so after more than 30 minutes waiting, the park staff did give us a lift.
The AC was also a real problem. The weather was cold so we put it on heating at a fairly low temperature but it just kept getting hotter and hotter. We switched to cooling at a warmer temperature and the reverse happened. We reported it and somebody supposedly did something but it was exactly the same the second night. We stayed at three other nearby hotels in the same weather and didn't have the problem at any of them.
There were also minor issues. There were no dressing gowns, there were only one each of the decaf and chocolate pods and our part-used soap and milk were replaced with new ones which is very wasteful. The plague to modern hotels, a flat bottomed basin, means a real waste of water. Breakfast was reasonable but not very well arranged.
On the positive side, the room was dark and quiet, the beds were comfortable and it was great to be able to see animals from the balcony.
