Great hotel

I was very pleasantly surprised, very cheap for the high season in Alice, clean, quiet and well appointed, with friendly, helpful service.

Overnight stay only

I loved the location and the wallabies

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.

Aurora Kakadu. Reviewed: January 2009. #1818

The property needs a complete overall, from bedlinen to hot water. We had no hot water the first night, the second night it was barely warm and the following morning no hot water at all. It is not comparable to any of the other resorts we stayed at in the Territory I,m am sorry to say. Clean bedlinen is a must for travellers and for the price charged.

Our stay at Kakadu was enjoyable as far as the attractions are concerned and they were booked by the friendly staff on arriving at Aurora Kakadu. A must is the scenic Flight over the Alligator River, also the Yellow River Cruise is a must and the early morning one I would recommend doing if only for the Sunrise.

I have already filled in and left a detailed written feedback form at the Hotel front desk.

The Motel itself was fine however I didn't like the restaurant food. The gnocchi was terrible. Refused to eat there after that. (my 1st night of 3).

A hotel close to the city centre

This hotel is close to the city centre and worth to stay, though in winter you may suffer from the cool air getting into the bathroom since the window cannot be closed due to safety reasons (as I was told from the reception). If you don't mind having a shower in a fresh environment, this is your hotel.

Pleasant place for short stays

comfortable but just adequate

A nice propertry, Insufficient car parking, some staff friendly and polite others lazy and thinking of other things. Insufficient room maintenance. Understaffed in the cleaning department but polite and friendly. Meals were quite good waiters and cooks all friendly. Reception needs to polish itself up somewhat though the boss girl seemed OK. Over all not living up to what should be expected for the price.

Good potential. Key personnel need to take in how things are done in a competetive world.

Alice Springs and surrounds are fascinating one needs many weeks to get a good introduction to the place. Some sections of the comunity are doing an excellent job to present the country and its inhabitants and history to the travelling public. Demand exceeds supply and in a lot of areas there is a take it or leave it attitude. Double the number of public toilets. Double the cleaning staff or stirr them into action.

Would be a good start to giving this unique place the setting that it deserves. There is so much to see and so much to do the potential is enormous.
