Dining
Under a Desert Moon: Imagine the romance of a table for two in a wilderness setting under a canopy of the Southern Night sky. The only light comes from the moon and the flickering glow of the fire. The only sound is soft music intertwined with the whispering of the breeze through the Desert Oak trees and the crackling flames.
Enjoy a six course menu, accompanied by quality Australian wines. Under a Desert Moon is exclusive to Kings Canyon Resort. It is designed for intimacy, with no more than eight couples dining on any one night.
Under a Desert Moon is open between April and October.
