Writing this review at least 6 months after staying there, see what I can remember... Only stayed here one night, would be a place I could return to, Tented rooms were great, big with all amenities. Highlight is the walk upto Emma Gorge, not a easy hike, just take your time and you will be rewarded with a treat at... More

I visited here as part of a dreaded tour group. Sorry! Because we only stopped one night, I didn't get to experience just how good the permanent tent was - din't get to open any of the window or door flaps for example, to experience that sleeping 'outside while you're inside' feeling. It seemed odd that there was a fan... More

The tents were pleasant and awoke to beautiful view of the gorge. The resort itself was frequented by tour groups however did not prevent us from receiving good service. The buffet food was good and a reasonable price if you just went for the main option. El Questro resort itself well worth a visit, shame it is 50 mins between... More

Caters primarily for bus tour groups. Groups are marshalled to their meal times and told where to sit. My biggest complaint is that I clearly stated on booking, that I am vegetarian (no meat, fish, poultry) and was given a plate of steak and fish for lunch. On commenting to the waiter, I was told 'that's all there is'. Just... More

Dear Penny S, Thank you for taking the time to post a review of Emma Gorge on Trip Advisor. I am sorry that you did not enjoy the resort and found it to be too big and impersonal. While it does have a large proportion of guests arriving on coach tours, it also sees a lot of independent travellers and... More

We had an OKish experience in Broome so we were really hoping staying at Emma Gorge would get us closer to the 'real Australia'. I must say after the confusion of arrival [they need more signs to reassure possibly lost tourists on the dirt roads] and looked inside the tired tents our hearts sunk a little. But on awaking to...

We had three nights in this hidden treasure, the cabins are basic but comfortable and the restaurant is great, the food fresh and tasty. The staff are so helpful and great for a chat.

A great location and well worth visiting but poor value for money in our view. The accommodation was expensive but the tents - as other reviewers have commented - did not match up. No fridge, no reading lights and no where to hang clothes or put cases. Compared to other safari tent accommodation we stayed in this was distinctly second... More

A huge disappointment. The safari tents were okay, but lacked reading lights for the beds, there was no fridge, no jug and no toaster. If you stay there you are completely dependent on the resort for meals - and frankly the evening menu was very limited. We were lucky that the night we ate dinner there, there were 2 groups... More
