Very convenient to access everything while in Yulara. Close to the buses and if you drive, close to the park. All the staff were great and helpful. Even close to the market to buy food if you don’t want to go to the restaurants. Overall great

Loved the quiet space. Staff were lovely, no disturbance. Loved the helpful reception staff. And it's close to all conveniences. Might want to check the bathroom fans, so steam doesn't stagnate.

Cheapest place in the area but it's all you need as a home base for all things Uluru. The town center was close by and all the shuttles pick up at the next hotel which was only a 3-4 minute walk. No view at least from my room but it's all good!
