great place for family gatherings

The rooms are spacious with two double beds, perfect for four people. Air conditioning kept it cool. The bathroom was nice and clean. Enjoyed the outback pioneer, especially the free BBQ. The pool was tidy but smaller. Being close to all the facilities made things super convenient.

Room for improvement

So I spent 3 nights here in a Garden View room. The food at the restaurant blew me away, especially the pepper squid—yum! But man, the room was a letdown and the staff were kinda hit or miss. Had issues with my room keys a few times too.

buffet breakfast

spotty wifi

Our stay was fantastic with a lovely view of the gardens from our room and a great buffet breakfast each morning. The outdoor pool and sun loungers provided perfect spots to relax after a fun day of exploring. Only downside was the WiFi being a bit spotty, so plan to disconnect a little while you're there! 😊

I had a wonderful 2-night stay in the Desert Deluxe Room with a view of Uluru. The room felt spacious and inviting, and the sunset viewing platform nearby enhanced my experience. While the dining options are a bit pricey, the buffet breakfast impressed. Overall, a beautiful escape!
