Little Desert Nature Lodge wins fans for its incredible dark skies and stargazing, abundant wildlife and peaceful bush setting right on the edge of Little Desert National Park. Reviewers loved the guided and self-guided nature walks, birdwatching at the waterholes, chances to see kangaroos, bettongs, malleefowl and curlews, and the charm of George the resident emu. Many praised the clean, comfortable ensuite rooms, including the deluxe garden view option, as well as spacious camping and caravan areas with powered sites. Groups and families highlight great facilities for educational camps and conferences, plus handy communal areas, a fire pit, a pool and unique features like the dingo enclosures and fenced sanctuary.
Service stands out as warm and accommodating. Several reviewers mentioned Mick and Vicki for their friendly, flexible hosting that made events and weekends away a breeze. Guests also gave a thumbs up to the meals package and dining room meals, and noted the quiet location off the main road that makes the skies shine even brighter. If you love nature, stargazing and close-up wildlife encounters, this is a special place to stay.
