This place had nice views . The room was pretty big but couldve done with a basin .wouldve been a quiet room but kids in next room were sick so could hear them coughing . Not the propertys fault . The bistro was a big space but half the meals on menu were unavailable and we went early but the meals we got were very tasty . The staff were pretty plesant and the one woman musician was good too.
The camel burger . A bit dry but still very tasty

Rented a standard queen cabin which was more like a prison cell with a bed on a metal frame that was very squeaky and had a thin mattress. Nowhere to hang clothes or put them away. Air conditioner was loud and barely worked. Communal bathrooms had good showers and were never crowded. The sunset viewing deck was great.

We stayed in a lodge. It was basic and clean, but it seems that most of the accommodation uses onsite toilets and showers. Fine for youngsters, but not so great for more mature travellers who need the facilities several times a night. I feel that this should have been made clearer in the literature, prior to booking, especially for overseas travellers who are not familiar with the place. Such a contrast to Yulara which was super. Basically it is a camp site. However, the food was excellent and also the bar staff.

The accommodation and service for check in and check out are awesome and top quality. Questions and concerns were answered with no caveats. They either provide or not. So simple. Love the walkable distances to the dinning cafe and bar options as well as the small hiking areas to the Light Towers and back. Lots of the areas are secluded and has an outdoor feeling even though you’re staying in 5 star top notch hotel and accommodations. Will be staying again in the near future.

The accomodation is set far back from reception and the bar. Its a very long hot walk to get to both. Otherwise the room was perfect. Really modern and new

We didn't realise there was no toilet n shower in the room, no Wi fi, no wardrobe, not even hooks to hang clothes, no chairs to seat on. But we blame Expedia for booking us 300 km away from the Uluru, we had to forfeit two days of stay and check out early so that we can move closer to Uluru.

The rooms are quite modern but extremely small. The bed takes up most of the room. It accommodates one person with one large suitcase but for 2 people with 2 suitcases and two carryon bags; 3 out of our 4 bags are on the floor and become trip hazards. It’s a shame that the pool closes at 6 pm because we like to swim after a long day of sightseeing.
