We didn't realise there was no toilet n shower in the room, no Wi fi, no wardrobe, not even hooks to hang clothes, no chairs to seat on. But we blame Expedia for booking us 300 km away from the Uluru, we had to forfeit two days of stay and check out early so that we can move closer to Uluru.

We stayed in a lodge. It was basic and clean, but it seems that most of the accommodation uses onsite toilets and showers. Fine for youngsters, but not so great for more mature travellers who need the facilities several times a night. I feel that this should have been made clearer in the literature, prior to booking, especially for overseas travellers who are not familiar with the place. Such a contrast to Yulara which was super. Basically it is a camp site. However, the food was excellent and also the bar staff.

The accommodation and service for check in and check out are awesome and top quality. Questions and concerns were answered with no caveats. They either provide or not. So simple. Love the walkable distances to the dinning cafe and bar options as well as the small hiking areas to the Light Towers and back. Lots of the areas are secluded and has an outdoor feeling even though you’re staying in 5 star top notch hotel and accommodations. Will be staying again in the near future.

The rooms are quite modern but extremely small. The bed takes up most of the room. It accommodates one person with one large suitcase but for 2 people with 2 suitcases and two carryon bags; 3 out of our 4 bags are on the floor and become trip hazards. It’s a shame that the pool closes at 6 pm because we like to swim after a long day of sightseeing.

The facilities had great potential but the rooms although having 4 spaces to sleep were not suited to a family of 4 with two teenage boys. Only 3 chairs in the room for 4 people, not enough towels for 4. Only really one dining place as other is closed for lunch and dinner.

For the cost paid the standard of accomodation is very very poor. Having stayed the night before in Alice paying half what we did at Kings canyon and in Alice being in luxury apartment the accommodation at Kings Canyon was beyond poor. The toilet blocks were very old and in serious need of renewing. The check in was ok. We asked for an update and was told would be an extra $500 on top of what we paid per night. Again seriously overpriced. The staff and food at the restaurant were great and can not be faulted Because of the cost and quality of accommodation is the reasons people travel overseas.

Well kept grounds, clean, friendly. Rooms were also clean and comfortable. Big selection of food but poor cooking quality. Invest in a good chef will be a game changer for better tasting food. The food is there but you need someone who can cook.
