The lodge was beautiful, clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
The room was large, modern and clean. The lodge was very tranquil with local wildlife as a feature. The dining room had a huge fireplace. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
The property was in a remote location and that was its main attraction. It provided excellent meals considering its location.

our trip was cancelled due to impassible roads, Council road closure. Lake Mungo Lodge was great in informing us and arranging with Wotif full renumeration.

Room is. Wet basic! Just the beds but heating was great :)
Definitely worth visiting Mungo National Park & glad we chose the luxury of staying at the lodge.
Continental breakfast included but you can have a cooked breakfast if you want.
Great dinner, quick service because we ordered before going on the sunset tour of Lunettes.
Huge open fireplace in the dining room
We stayed here for 3 nights, about 2 weeks and it was a completely wonderful experience from beginning to end.
The staff and management team were warm, friendly and professional, and could not have done more to make us feel welcome and looked after.
Some things need to run a little differently from what we were used to (like ordering dinner ahead, or booking tours) - it is after all a very remote location, which is what you come to Mungo for! But our hosts explained everything to us and once we got the hang of it, all went very smoothly.
We stayed in a deluxe cabin and it was extremely comfortable, spacious and clean. But when we wanted a change of scene on a rainy afternoon, sitting around the fire in the lodge was fun and cozy!
We ate in the lodge all three nights. I had a different meal each night and each one was scrumptious, but my personal favourite was the nasi goreng. My husband had the lamb curry the first night and loved it so much he had it every night after that!
I could not say more about the wonderful experience at Mungo Lodge. Highly recommend!!!
Our stay was very interesting.The room was fine but unfortunately there was no tv in the rooms or internet, one
Had to go over to the main lodge and reception. Also the main circular road around the park was closed and Mungo Lodge itself wasn’t doing any tours due to staff training.But we were able to arrange a tour ourselves with the local ranger. But all the staff were all very friendly and helpful.
The room was spacious, the staff were friendly, dinner was good and it was very quiet at night.
However, the bathroom fan was absolutely covered with dust. There were spider webs in the corners of the bathroom walls. None of the appliances in the room were test-and-tagged. There was no soap holder in the shower.
Really enjoyed staying here. We stayed in one of the tents. Comfy bed, cool enough at night to sleep. Days were hot but we were able to go into the lodge to cool down, charge phones and chill out. We did part of the self fuidedd tour and as some of the road was closed we opted for the sunset lunette guided tour. Definitely worht doing.
Camp site was really quiet until tje second morning of our stay when a large family group.let their young kids ride round the csmp.on their bikes at 6am. Staff were v responsive and hopefully will address this for other campers as we left later that day.
The drive to Mungo lodge is fun if a little anxiety provoking at times. Part of our challenge was that some of it was being surface scraped so it made it worse. expect a long slow dusty bumpy ride to the lodge and camp site. We made sure we filled up in Balranald before entering the unsealed road area. We also had 20 litres of water. We were in a mid size awd not a landrover type and it was fine and fun!
Thank you to the lovely sunderland lass staff member. A great help on everything. Safe travels and sorry we dont remember your name!

Accommadation a bit run down but the staff were wonderful
The surroundings were beautiful and the scenery was truly stunning. The front desk staff provided exceptional service, and the other guests were friendly and pleasant, which made the stay even more enjoyable.
Food options could improve by having more choices but what they had was quite adequate. The manager was very helpful in accommodating the dietary needs. Excellent service.
It would have been more comfortable if there was more heating in the dining area.
Bedrooms were very comfortable.
We enjoyed everything about our brief trip. The tour was excellent, room warm despite almost 0 degrees and the food was delicious.
Thanks for a great stay.
