Clean, tidy and well equipt accommodation, with very friendly and helpfull staff.
Excellent opportunity to do a number of trips to some amazing sights. I'd certainly recommend it to anyone.

Excellent value. Great to be a bit away from the town and so close to the rock wallabies. Clean, everything you need in the room for breakfast. Handy to have supermarket and tavern so close with fun entertainment on Sat and Sunday. Would be even better if the tap had been fixed immediately and if the shuttle bus to Alice ran on week-ends. Nice pool, quiet spot because already outside tourist season.
Busy highway not too that far but this allowed us to spot road trains! Good to also have outdoor table/chairs to sit near lawn and observe the birds. Had already been here about 20 years ago but the place has obviously been revamped. Great to be able to book tours from reception (open early, closing late) where we had a very polite receptionist on the first night.
Alice Springs is an amazing place in many ways, much better that staying at Yulara where there are only tourists.

You can pay a lot more for much less at other places in Alice. The staff (reception, bistro, housekeeping, the Big Boss) were all excellent, the room was very well serviced and equipped, the view was beautiful and the hospitality at the tavern rocked. Try the Barramundi with lemon, garlic and caper sauce.
Don't stay in Alice without visiting the Desert Park and Reptile Centre. West Macs were better than the Rock, go and get Forest at Glen Helen to take you up in a helicopter to see the Caterpillar Dreaming.

Very clean and helpful staff, loved the rock wallabies too. Great having the Tavern close so no drink driving!
Thoroughly enjoyed Alice Springs and would go back again tomorrow if i could afford it. Didn't quite get to do everything we wanted but all the more reason to go back! Highly suggest people try the Outback Quad adventure @ Undoolya Cattle Station. Sensational! Telegraph Station was great too. Also Bojangles was a great night out.

It's fantastic hotel to stay in. It's located outside Alice Springs in a beautiful location close to the mountains. You can be sure to have peaceful time there and you can really feel the spirit of the red centre. The room was very big, clean and it was really nice to stay there. You may also use the swimming pool there. The staff was very helpful so if you are planning to go to Alice Springs, choose Heavitree Gap.

The room was very nice. I liked the fact that the facility had a local style restaurant with a lot of local people to let me see how the some of they spend their spare time. The hotel is out from town a bit but that's what I liked. You get an open space feeling and hand feeding the rock wallabies in the evening was a definite plus. They're so cute. The employees also were very friendly and did their best to make my stay a welcome one.

Spacious room not far from Alice Spring center. The wallabies feeding is a plus even for the "not so young" people !
On our way to King's Canyon, we didn't have much time to visit downtown.

A great place to stay and would definitely stay here again. Have no hesitation in recommending to family & friends to stay here.
We enjoyed our stay in Alice Springs. The Telegraph station, Pioneer Womens Museum, School of the Air, Royal Flying Doctor visitor centre all worth a visit.

We loved this place. Main bed was good,although a little firm for me but overall great. My only suggestion would be to instal a solid security flyscreen so we could leave the door open at night. A bit stuffy with the aircon on all night. Great place for kids with the feeding of the wallabies at night. A great attraction. Friendly staff with the exception of the French girl on the night shift but otherwise very pleasant staff.
We were there 8 days and would have liked another week to see everything. For tours go with Emu Run. Very competent people in charge I felt very safe and secure. If going on the 6 a. M Uluru bus tour returning at midnight be aware that it is not a very comfortable coach, a bit rocky and bumpy so if you suffer from motion sickness ask for up front of bus. Try to go to the Aboriginal settlements not listed in the tour books a bit further out of town if you are after original paintings, they are much cheaper than anywhere else and you can see the artist direct.
A must see is Palm Valley, amazing, again this is in a high stepped 4WD An interesting day! Again very competent staff. Stanley Casem is nice also. Where to eat - The Tavern at the Heavitree Gap was reasonably priced. Sunday Roast for . Sporties in the Todd Mall have nice food also.

The Women Pioneers and Flying Doctor Museums are excellent

I was concerned about the Hotel as many in the area had some bad feedback and I was almost about to cancel it, but it was clean, staff were friendly, rooms were well apointed and would be very suitable for people wanting to get away from the stress of city life. It was great to feel relaxed and not having to be alert for someone trying to upsell or pull some stunt to cut costs.
Alice Springs has some sensational History and sensational landscape, it isnt a night life type of place but the sense of freedom not found in the cities make this place sensational.
Down side some things can be quite expensive and airtravel too expensive

Alice Springs, SEE IT ALL!

I booked this on the internet and was a little apprehensive, based on the price and the ratings, but my daughter and I were pleasantly surprised! Our room, while basic, was clean and comfortable, and the wallaby feeding was lots of fun. The only problem with it was the lack of internet service and cell phone coverage. That may have been due to the location tho. There was 1 computer in the reception area for internet use and it was quite a trick getting in the queue.
Maybe a signup sheet would help.
We were in Alice only 2 nights on a whirlwind trip around Australia, so we went on the one day (18 hour!) bus trip with Emu Run to Uluru. It was fantastic!! Lots of great yarns and information, food throughout the day, great picture taking spots. A definite must-do!
