    spacious room
    lovely terrace

    Recommend it for couples seeking comfort

    The spacious and clean room was a standout. We enjoyed the lovely outdoor terrace where we could unwind in the evening with drinks and laughs.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but the experience was still worth it.

    Enjoyed this hotel, had great experience. The breakfast here was reasonably good with outback flavoured omelettes and crodile options and pastries. The rooms of our place were neat with balcony, everything was perfect.

    Breakfast outside - Very expensive. Beer very expensive. But everything else is fine.

    The eternal fly around me - but common in Australia. Flies as small as this keep buzzing around you.

    Brilliant breakfast buffet, the best we had in 5 weeks in Australia with countless hotels. The location close to Uluru and Kata Tjutas is of course unbeatable, but a rental car is an absolute must, unless you want to take the overpriced bus tours. Prices per night are high, but this is not unusual for Australia.

    Partly the building is already a bit outdated.

    Breakfast left nothing to be desired. The rooms were large enough and well equipped.

    Was a short break during a 4-week stay in Australia.

    Breakfast on your own, as the price of the breakfast offered is far too high.

    Everything worked out fine, the room was already ready when we arrived at noon, a very nice big double room (very good beds!) with a great "balcony" - was rather a terrace with a view to the pool, sunbeds, parasol... unfortunately at over 40 degrees still too hot to use. Very friendly and helpful staff, so we could keep the room until we came back from our Sunrise trip. As we had sunset and sunrise excursions, we could not test the restaurants. The hotel is very beautiful!

    dated exterior
    limited food options

    The spacious room had a cozy corner perfect, and the view of the pool was good. I especially enjoyed the diverse breakfast options, with freshly made pancakes that were amazing.

    The exterior of the hotel could use some updates.

    Breakfast was very good, pool ok, staff very friendly beds super

    They wanted to put us first in the back corner but we didn't want and we got a very nice room even with a bottle of champagne as compensation.

    The rooms are nice and big.

    The bed is too soft, you have to take a shower in the bathtub, washing your hands is difficult because the faucet does not match the sink.
