Ayers Rock Resort - Voyages Kings Canyon Resort

Kings Canyon Resort is located in a loop off the main highway running between Ayers Rock and Alice Springs. The sensitively designed resort is just seven kilometres from Watarrka National Park, the home of the magical sandstone formation of Kings Canyon.

Due to Voyages commitment to best environmental practice, the resort has been built to blend harmoniously with the surrounds. That is not to say the accommodation is basic! Kings Canyon Resort offers a wide range from the campground that enjoys the outdoor stillness of the Red Centre to deluxe spa rooms - offering understated opulence rather unexpected in such a remote location.

It is the perfect oasis from which to explore the wonders of Kings Canyon including the amazing rock formation called the Lost City and the Garden of Eden an oasis of an entirely different kind at the foot of the Canyon. The flora of Kings Canyon offers a clear indication that the climate of this whole area was once vastly different.
