Reviews
Excellent Trip
20th Sep 2016
Enjoyed the experience at Uluru. Fantastic weather, excellent location, close to everything.
Even with 3hr plane delay at Sydney (6hrs on the plane) and Tourist Guide losing us when walking the base of Uluru which was not the Hotels fault the whole experience was fantastic and would recommend anyone to visit and stay at the Desert Gardens Hotel.

Ayers Rock is amazing
20th Jul 2016
I never realised the Rock was so big

Awesome environment
10th Jun 2016
Clean, cosy accommodation within easy distance to te rest of the resort. Rock View rooms should be advertised as obstructed as foliage partially covers your view from the balcony. I loved that the room had a bathtub. This helped soak away those sore muscles after visiting Uluru (15 kms from the resort).
