Do Not Stay Here

Recommendation:  by Lee Mullen
 
Suitable for: Leisure

Sorry but this place was a complete rip off. My wife and I ended up sleeping in bunks beds!!!!!!!!

We booked what they called a budget room A$206.00, nothing budget about the price. (We were travelling all around Australia and this was the lowest star rating that we stayed in and was the most expensive.)

We expected to get a double bed as stated on the web site but when we questioned why we had two bunks beds we were told "well you did book a budget room"

The whole resort is run by Voyagers so have a monopoly on everything and can charge what they want but this place left a bitter taste in our mouths and could have spoilt our trip to Australia.

Also the excusions to the Rock are very expensive and don't include the A$25.00 per person to get into the park.

We would recommed staying in Alice Springs and just visiting Ayres Rock for the day and then flying out in the afternoon. Not a place we would recommend anyone to stay unless you have lots of money to spend and don't mind getting ripped off.

I expected more for $200.00 per night. Our whole experience in traveling to Uluru was marred by the blatant gouging by the rental car company and the hotel/resort. I realize that this is a remote place; however, my husband and I have traveled to many remote places that are much harder to get to and have not been exposed to anything like this. At least the food and gift shop were on a par with other touris attractions in Australia. I guess no one here cares about repeat business. It is a magnificent area and I didn't mind paying the $25/person to see "The Rock", but I think it is unfortunate that people are taken advantage of by the transportation and lodging industry. Not very tourist friendly.

I'm unsure what "few"-"many" refers to under "Facility" in the above question. There were some insects in the room, though this is somewhat understandable given its location. Also, I was surprized to find sets of bunkbeds for beds. I don't think this was well described when I booked the room. But overall, I was happy with the room.

At check-in I was almost booked into a bunkroom until I corrected the front desk that I reserved a bedroom with bathroom. Luckily, I got the last one available. I would hate to think of what I would have done if they had already given it away!

If our room had been near the local restaurant, the noise would have been awful. At a safe distance, we had a fine time. To save power, room key is interlocked with room power. This is OK, but room is hot when returning from day of touring.

location gives a nice 'outback' feel We had booked a queen budget room and were given bunk beds and had to pay to upgrade -maybe website needs to state budget rooms are bunk beds only.

The food was either over priced or unappetizing. We had to wait over 1 hour for our meal. Extremely overpriced. It made us very annoyed that the owners are taking advantage of the location by charging so much for so little.

I thought the hotel had a really nice bar area and an efficient & friendly reception. The tour desk was also easily accessible. Perfect for what we needed. the room was quite basic, but had everything we needed and provided good value for money compared to other accommodation at this resort. I would choose the same standard of room if we returned to the resort.
