BUG Review
Undara Lodge is an extensive complex with a variety of accommodation including budget options such as camping, permanently erected campotel tents and the Wilderness Lodge with small four-bed dorms in prefabricated buildings arranged around a courtyard. The complex is in a natural setting that abounds with wildlife and it features a swimming pool, Internet access and a bar and restaurant set in old railway carriages. At night there are free activities like slide shows and bush poetry.
Price Bed in a campotel tent $20 plus $7 linen Dorm bed in Wilderness Lodge $25 Camping $6 per person Prices are in local currency and are inclusive of all taxes.
This is the only dorm accommodation at Undara. The dorm itself was very hot during the daytime due to a lack of aircon and there was no lock on the door so security was non-existent. The washrooms were very "airy", which was great from a ventilation point of view but also meant you could be attacked by the shower curtain if there was a gust of wind. There was hardly anyone else there when I was there - hence the low atmosphere rating. I would stay here again but frankly I didn't find the lava tubes that impressive so wouldn't bother coming back to Undara anyway.
