Andria R Couples - 4/5/2025 TripAdvisor review

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Andria. We appreciate your suggestion regarding the gallery. Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding our pricing. We understand that it may seem expensive, but prices in remote areas often reflect the increased logistical costs associated with transport and supply. We strive to provide competitive rates while maintaining quality service in this unique location. We appreciate your understanding.

Any port in a storm.

Stephen B Couples - 4/5/2025 TripAdvisor review

We expected it to be hot and it was. The lodges were clean and tidy with all you needed. We had a slight problem with the AC but were quickly moved. The biggest problem really was that whilst the breakfast room had AC the main dining area was under cover but outside. Also I must say the loud music, for us was too loud. Good for the younger set I’m sure. The price was right and we had a good two nights.

Thank you for your review, Stephen. We’re glad to hear you found the lodges clean and comfortable and that we could assist with the AC issue quickly. We also appreciate your feedback about the dining area and the music. We understand that preferences can vary, and we’re grateful for your thoughts on this. We’re pleased to hear that overall, you had a good stay with us.

Do not recommend.

Nicolette C Friends getaway - 3/31/2025 TripAdvisor review

I’ve traveled fairly extensively around the world and stayed in a variety of places and this is not one I would stay in again. When we checked in, we were told our room wasn’t ready, fair enough, and we would be notified when our room was ready and a porter would take our bags to the room. Neither happened. In fact, I didn’t see a porter on duty the entire time we stayed. My friend uses a cane to walk and we were housed at the furthest rooms from the check in and it was very difficult for her to move her bags. The room had cinder block walls and was fairly basic although the shower was spacious and the water pressure was good. The food on the premises was also good although there isn’t a restaurant per se. It’s all outdoor picnic table seating except for breakfast. The staff in the eating areas are friendly but the front desk staff are much less so. In short, if you are traveling to Uluru and the Red Center, which is spectacular, do yourself a favor and stay at one of the nicer resorts.

Thank you for your feedback, Nicolette. We regret that your stay did not meet expectations. We are disappointed to hear about the issues with your room readiness and the lack of assistance with your luggage, especially considering your friend's mobility needs. We also acknowledge your comments regarding the room and staff, and will address these concerns to improve the overall experience for future guests. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the food and the shower facilities. We truly appreciate your valuable feedback and hope your visit to Uluru and the Red Centre was still a memorable one.

Average, not worth the price but its Uluru and all the hotels are overpriced

TravelStayExplore 3/5/2025 TripAdvisor review

You can see the full video review on my YouTube channel. @Travel.Stay.Explore Stayed here for 2 nights. Booked at standard Queen Room in the hotel. Lobby area was within the reception building. Was light and airy with plenty of space. We luckily arrived just before a coach did and were checked in quickly and professionally, given all the information about the hotel that we needed. Hotel is spread out over a reasonably sized area in almost like a motel/chalet set up of ground floor rooms. However there is plenty of free parking and it is all wheel chair accessible. Room - Size was very good with 2 queen beds in it Air conditioning - worked very well Fridge TV Wifi Tea and Coffee making facilities Plenty of luggage storage Bathroom - Decent size Massive mirror Hairdryer Plenty of space around the wash basin Good size walk in shower Shower products and face and hand wash as well Plenty of towels Toilet Complimentary Resort and Airport shuttle bus services Swimming Pool 2 restaurants - Bough House and Outback BBQ and Bar Check in was 3pm however we arrived early and was able to check in from 1:30pm We paid £180 per night and found a number of living and dead insects in the room. Appreciate the living ones might have found there way in when the maids were in the room however you would think the dead ones would have been cleaned away. Top tip - after you have got the insects out of your room, leave the do not disturb sign on the door. That way the maids wont come and tidy and leave the door open. Second night of our stay no insects came out into the room. Was the cheapest place to stay when we booked (not including camp ground and lodge) i don't think any of the hotels are worth the price within the resort but you are stuck because there's no where else to stay. Which makes it hard to review and score. Would probably stay again as its the cheapest hotel there

Dear TravelStayExplore, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed review. We're pleased to hear that you found our facilities, amenities, and services convenient and that you had a smooth check-in experience. We acknowledge your feedback regarding pricing, and we understand your concerns. The costs reflect the logistics and transportation involved in supplying goods and services to this remote desert location. That said, we continually strive to provide the best value and experience for our guests. We appreciate your insights and are glad to hear that you would consider staying with us again. Safe travels, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!
