The five-star 78-room Monarto Safari Resort is open for business, providing guests with uninterrupted views from every room over the expansive open plains zoo.
Just one hour from Adelaide, the venue is sure to be a hit with incentive groups who want to intimately connect with nature, with dedicated conference space for up to 150 guests. Southern white rhinos, cheetah, giraffe, elephants and a host of other endangered wildlife can be seen just metres away from the comfort of your room and the resort.
The development also includes creation of 20 luxury safari tents for those who want to get even closer to the action.
Management and operator of the property is Journey Beyond, with CEO Chris Tallent, excited to be taking on the multi-million development.
“With years of expertise in managing unique tourism operations in remote destinations across Australia, Journey Beyond is exceptionally well-placed to manage this cutting-edge new build,” he said.
With its scale and predictions that the property will become one of the state’s premier tourism attractions, South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas, praised the development at opening.
“Monarto Safari Resort presents a significant opportunity for South Australia, driving economic benefits for the state,” he said.
“The resort is creating jobs and has already drawn bookings from interstate and overseas visitors. This will have a flow-on effect and stimulate growth in surrounding areas. Moreover, the resort’s commitment to conservation and education reinforces South Australia’s reputation as a leader in sustainable tourism.”
The property has been fitted out with furnishings and features befitting of its environment that is sure to delight guests.
And, as a nod to its location, for every stay a portion of the room rate will support conservation programs at the park, reinforcing the resort’s mission to contribute to wildlife preservation.
