    I was in the single bed of our standard double room and it kept sliding round the room.

    Great location and feel to the resort. Probably greatly due to the very friendly staff.

    The place was great! -But if i had to list somethings - Servo groceries a lot more pricey than anywhere in the area..if you end up at uluru, stock up at the nearby iga. - Flies were bad 😹😹 if you dont want to pay $11 for a fly net..bring one 😄 - we weren't getting any mobile reception lots of tooing and frow-ing from reception to get wifi passcodes to last 120 min..we asked, but ultimately couldnt get the user pays wifi to work.. ..again, not a big thing..but when you have young kids and want to veg out at the end of the day..🤪 of the 4 free to air channels in our room, one with kiddie shows. I'd absolutely stay here again..i'd just be better prepared 👍

    Lovely staff, said hello to the kids when they saw they around, made it feel good to be there. Friendly service in the bar and servo. Place was easy to be at, wandering around with kids looking at the animals. Swimming in the cold pool. Plenty of souvenirs Pub meals exceeded our expectations..so good and good value. Kids loved the playground..despite the bindi eyes 😹 Fly screened camp kitchen. Great indoor space to access telstra free wifi

    Just one gripe - room had large windows with curtains closed, not allowing for natural light - when drawn, a bit of a fish bowl! Shades / blinds may be a better option?!

    Clean, secure, room equipped with everything required for overnight stopover. Complimentary bottled water. Sunset viewing deck was great. Friendly staff and straight forward check-in info via text, for easy after hours access in/out.

    good place to stay for a night
    • Leisure trip

    As most of those isolated roadhouses, prices for food in the shop (and also the fuel) are on the high side, not to say very high. Small remark, the wooden path linking the room buildings is noisy...means when someone is walking in front of your room...it's kind of "waking you up" if you are not in deep sleep. But for me that was not really a huge issue.

    Very welcoming staff - ideal location at the start of the road to Uluru/Kata Tjuta. Extra clean and good WIFI connexion. Small pool which is refreshing but you need to "survive" to the permanent flies attacks !!! (this is not hotel's fault...there are really plenty around).

    Nothing really. It met my expectations as I was just expecting a motel room. The good food was a bonus!

    It was fun to know I stayed in the Centre of the Centre. The emu farm was definitely a fun extra. I watched the sunset from the viewing deck, keeping the camel company from a distance! Not an 'amazing' place, but nice food, very nice staff and a very good location to stop over.

    Windows can‘t be opened, which is a pain with breathing issues. Worst was someone entering our room (he obviously had keys) at 6:30….quite akward. The lady at reception apologized but should definitely not happen.

    Great stop directly at the highway on the way to Uluru. Nice, small pool and comfortable beds

    Minor point, but camp kitchen had obviously been stripped for end of season. Only thing there was a kettle and microwave. No toaster (which we wanted) or other cutlery, crockery etc

    For a roadhouse motel it was very nicely appointed and clean. Everything worked as expected.

    Actually that is expected given the remote location but you should really manage your expectations because rooms are very basic in terms of comfort

    If you like us arrive to Alice Springs in the afternoon it makes sense to drive and stay at Erldunda to save two hours on the next day reaching the Uluru
