Clean, cheap room in the resort area next to the national park. Plenty of places to eat at the hotel with a lively bar and live music. Great place to stay for Uluru.

Excellent hostel type accommodation. Clean and plentiful supply. We had a room with shared communal toilet and showers, which can be chilly in Winter. Staff were lovely and helpful. Price point made this accessible to us as opposed to more expensive accommodation. This is a really solid budget option. Would definitely recommend, suitable for family and young kids too.

Pretty bare bones as far as hostel accommodations go, but it was definitely the most affordable accommodation in Yulara. The female dorms were well-kept, and the other visitors were courteous as well (no loud music or noise at night). The bathrooms and washrooms were clean enough, and staff were friendly. Definitely the best option if you are traveling solo (and on a budget) as it provides great access to activities without breaking the bank.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Where to begin. Arrived and told the receptionist that I had a disability and could she give me a convenient room. Gave me one that was the furthest, almost, from the carpark or bistro etc. Next found a dirty towel hanging on the back of shower door. No milk in fridge. Was told they don't supply milk. Said why do you have coffee, tea and sugar but no milk...dumb. No soap in shower dispenser. Had to hold up toilet seat. Then at 2.04am the smoke alarm goes off. Rang reception said they know about it and security on their way and fire brigade advised. Couldn't stay in room as too loud so waited outside in 6 degree conditions, minimal clothing on. Nobody turned up and then without any real reason alarm stopped at 2.24am. Took some time to resume sleep expecting alarm to go off again. When all these issues raised upon checking out all they said was an unconvincing sorry. Not good enough. If you pay over 300 for accommodation you do have better expectations. Perhaps an offer of refund should have been on the agenda.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
My daughter and I found that the amenities were nothing like what we expected. I was very disappointed in the restroom/bathroom arrangements. And it was clear in the booking for the hotel/lodge either that we would not have a restroom in or even near our room. This was very uncomfortable. And the staff was not that helpful either.

Liked: Staff & service
Our room was a private room with an en-suite. Unfortunately, the A/C unit did not work and the floors were quite dirty upon our arrival and there was a urine smell which indicated the floors had not been mopped or bleached in a while. For the price it was not super comfortable and a disappointing experience.

部屋に入ると匂いが気になった。 シーツは清潔でよかったが、床はタイル張りでスーツケースを広げることは出来なかった。 タオルなしと書いてあったので持って行ったが、ちゃんと4人分置いてあった。 kioskのピザはおいしかった。ハンバーガーはパテが分厚くて食べ応えがあったが、少し高いと感じた。
