Magnificent ghost gums and flowering native shrubs are the setting for this hotel. Voyages Desert Gardens Hotel is centrally located to all resort and touring facilities and offers a range of accommodation, from shaded poolside rooms to deluxe rooms overlooking the desert. You can relax in the comfort of your own private balcony or courtyard, or unwind in the hotel's pool, sipping cocktails from the Bunya bar. It's only a short stroll to the Resorts' numerous lookouts, where you can view what is arguably Australia's best sunset, with the spectacular play of colours across the face of Uluru and the surrounding desert. Once the sun has set, dine at Arnguli Grill and savour an a la carte flame grilled menu.

Crowne Plaza is in a great location

Crowne Plaza is in a great location and easy walking distance to the town centre and Casino. Hire bikes are also available from outside the hotel. The in-house dining is excellent, with two great restaurants to choose from. Buffet breakfast is also excellent. Recommend the Crowne Plaza if you are seeking good quality accommodation and services.

Very expensive for an ordinary room (although rated 4-star). Fortunately, it is in the midst of a "desert garden" which makes the stay enjoyable.

perfectly fine given you don't

perfectly fine given you don't really stay in the hotel except to sleep; expensive like all the others but then it's a captive market and they do have to ship everything in; probably the best location in terms of access

The restaurant for dinner offered

The restaurant for dinner offered excellent food at a reasonable price, unlike elsewhere in the Yulara resort. The deluxe room was spacious and well serviced and maintained. One of the reception staff was inept, while others were very efficient. The gardens are a delight.

Accomodation was OK, but the standard

Accomodation was OK, but the standard are more like a 3-star hotel at a luxury 5-star price. Everything at Ayers Rock is very costly, so be prepared. We suspect that the more modest hotel standards was equal in quality, but slightly more modestly priced. However, to fly into Alice Springs and drive the 500 kilometres into Ayers was not an option either.
