great place for family gatherings

The rooms are spacious with two double beds, perfect for four people. Air conditioning kept it cool. The bathroom was nice and clean. Enjoyed the outback pioneer, especially the free BBQ. The pool was tidy but smaller. Being close to all the facilities made things super convenient.

Room for improvement

So I spent 3 nights here in a Garden View room. The food at the restaurant blew me away, especially the pepper squid—yum! But man, the room was a letdown and the staff were kinda hit or miss. Had issues with my room keys a few times too.

garden view

buffet breakfast

spotty wifi

Our stay was fantastic with a lovely view of the gardens from our room and a great buffet breakfast each morning. The outdoor pool and sun loungers provided perfect spots to relax after a fun day of exploring. Only downside was the WiFi being a bit spotty, so plan to disconnect a little while you're there! 😊

Stunning Location with Memorable Experiences

Staying here provided magical sunsets over the desert, making every evening unforgettable. We enjoyed the unique presentations at the onsite restaurant, incredible flavors, though a bit pricey. For convenience, make sure to book breakfast upon arrival to get the best rate. Don't miss the local art gallery nearby!

I was impressed by the beautiful Indigenous-print soft furnishings and the spacious common areas that provided plenty of seating, making it easy for seniors to relax and enjoy the stunning views of Uluru.

Improved signage for room locations would help seniors.

I had a wonderful 2-night stay in the Desert Beautiful Room with a view of Uluru. The room felt spacious and inviting, and the sunset viewing platform nearby enhanced my experience. While the dining options are a bit pricey, the buffet breakfast impressed. A beautiful escape!
