This "resort", humble and dusty as it is, was the site of one of the best vacation experiences I have ever had. First, make no bones about it, this is rustic, simple, accommodation and food (and priced accordingly, so that's fair). But what makes this stellar is the opportunity to take the horses out and camp out under the stars,... More

We came across Ross River Resort on the last night of our red centre adventure. We were given a warm country welcoming by Shane before Irish Dennis took us out in the trusty ute on the back tracks of the property, it was fantastic to see off the beaten track with wild horses and foals on the way. Our son... More

I used to work here in 1993, all I can remember is the view of northern territory sunset and sunrise is amazing. If you come to this place, and if there is still available, you have to spend time to dine under the stars, have a hot billy tea and damper in the morning, and learn to whip crack. And... More

It is an easy drive and the East MacDonnell ranges are spectacular with plenty of places to stop along the way and look about. The 'Resort' is not so much what you would expect of that word. Rather it is more like a campground with a... More

This resort made us feel a part of the REAL outback, not something manufactured for tourists. It's many attributes include wonderful hosts who from the very beginning of our stay made us feel AT HOME. We found we could simply relax in the comfortable accomodation, swim in the centrally located pool while taking in the stunning views of the ranges... More

We stopped for a cup of coffee and ended up staying a few days. We were treated like family by Shane and Jody with personal tours of the property and good old fashioned dinner with the family. The helicopter ride was a great family experience so too the array of unusual pets. The camping was exactly what campers need...flat, grassed,... More

Fantastic location, great Homestead with heaps of info on its history and set in the lovely surroundings of the East MacDonnell Ranges. Surrounded by truly amazing country with some fantastic Displays of Aboriginal Rock carvings close by. The campground is in a great spot set down among the trees by the river and the amenities were very good. Among the... More
