Great stay
Pros:

Close to lookout of Uluru. I couldn’t managed to book the tour in timely manner, it was helpful to join free activities. Self service BBQ at the bar was great experience.

Cons:

Wifi connectivity at room was not very stable so prefer to use it at lobby.

Good average hotel for short stay
Pros:

The hotel is one of the more affordable hotels within Yulara Resort, yet still a bit pricey for what you get. The room was clean and spacious (there were two double beds which made it ideal for our family with a baby and a toddler) and has a very small fridge and kettle for tea. Parking in front of the room blocks is available.

Cons:

The pool is located behind the reception but the area is rather spacious so we actually were taking the car to get from our hotel room to the pool or reception area. You could walk yes, but it is a bit of a walk and in 35 degrees not very pleasant (april). The rooms are ground floor bungalows and felt a bit dark. If you come during the hot season or even april, expect a lot of flies. Strongly recommend a rental car. Even to get to „the town center“ where the restaurants are located. Other hotels are located more closely to the town center. Yes, you can take the shuttle bus but we‘ve seen people waiting in the heat for a long time. The pool is basic.

Basiskamp voor de RIM Walk.
Pros:

De locatie was top.

Cons:

Het was allemaal wel heel erg sober. Klein, TL verlichting en de koelkast was echt versleten met hard brommen en centrifuge geluiden. Het toiletgebouw op loopafstand.

Pros:

Room was of a decent big size with excellent lightings. Bathroom was specious and equipped with modern fittings. Room service was excellent and staff was super friendly.

Cons:

Mosquitoes were in room and I had terrible bites. I understand that being in outback it's tough to avoid but felt like mentioning so people can carry mosquito repellant or something which can help in their stay.
