#travellerswonderland Nestled between the palms and pandanus, El Questro Emma Gorge Resort lies the spectacular resort with excellent facilities. The tented cabins allow you to stay in the Kimberley in style, privately while remaining close to nature, in complete harmony with the surrounding landscape. Shaded pathways link the tented cabins with the restaurant, pool and bar. Emma Gorge is located just 2km off the sealed Gibb Road and guests and day visitors can enjoy local, seasonal cuisine at Emma’s Restaurant and in the evening dine under the stars in the open roof dining area. #australiatrip #westernaustralia #hotelreview

#hikingtrails The serene surroundings of Emma Gorge waterfall make it a tranquil and relaxing place to swim and hike. An approximate one-hour picturesque walk over rocky terrain rewards you with a cool oasis and a 65 metre droplet waterfall, surrounded by cliffs adorned with greenery. It is also home to the trickle of a small thermal spring. The spring provides welcome warmth while swimming in the bracing waterhole. See if you can find it amongst the rocks. It takes around 3 hours for the spot. This walk shouldn't be undertaken after 2.30pm to allow time to return to the resort before sunset. #australiatrip #westernaustralia #awesomepic
