This resort is 40klms off the main highway from
R0ma north to Rolleston. The last 17klms is unsealed but quite good. However, if there has been rain, parts of it may become very slushy and difficult to drive through. If there has been rain in the area, just contact the resort before you go.Takarakka is the major camping area at the Gorge and is absolutely fabulous. They have powered and unpowered sites as well as cabins. The resort has a small store for essentials and the camping sites are large. The park is beautiful with trees, palms, grassed areas and lots of
wildlife.All the amenities are clean and well set up. The camp kitchen in our area was huge and has barbeques, gas stoves, hot water, jug for coffee or tea, as well as a sink which has detergent and cleaning utensils. Beside the camp kitchen there is brick pit for an open fire surrounded with logs for sitting on.
There are three camping areas, each with camp kitchens and amenities blocks.
Within the resort, there are two beautiful short walks. One to the lookout, and, one to the platypus pool. We walked to this pool late one afternoon, sitting and waiting for a couple of hours, along with about twenty other people, for the platypus to appear. It was incredible, we all sat there in silence, just watching. We saw turtles, fish, and wallabys came down to visit, but no platypus. We all had our cameras ready, but no action.
The powered sites are $38.00 per night.
