I enjoyed my stay at the Desert Gardens. It was clean and the staff was great! There were lots of activites around and no chance of getting bored.
United States of AmericaWe stayed in a spacious room with a wall to wall balcony facing the desert. The room seemed new and in great condition. The bed was very comfortable, Wifi was fast, bathroom was large and had a nice tub. They even give you a little scented satchel to put in the bath. I liked that you can opt to skip room service to receive a credit toward food. We were able to check in a few hours early.
United States of AmericaStaff was great and eager to help. Great location. Everything was right there.
United States of AmericaLocation - friendly and efficient staff. 👍 food in the restaurant.
United States of AmericaGreat setting - a little oasis around the pool - well spaced public areas , nice restaurant with friendly waiters. Good size room and a nice balkony.
United States of AmericaLeon the guide for the desert garden walk and the other talks was excellent. One of the highlights of the holiday.
Australiastaff were very friendly and helpful with our questions thank you
United States of AmericaIt's a good option to stay if you're looking for a bit more upscale option for a reasonable price. There's a laundry facility in this hotel so you have a chance to do laundry if needed. Staff is great, restaurant is a good dining option.
United States of AmericaNot a lot of places to stay in Ayers Rock so choices are limited. However Desert Gardens rooms have recently been renovated. The grounds are clean, they have a laundry facility (to wash off all the red dirt you’ll accumulate hiking Uluru). So overall it was a nice place to stay.
United States of AmericaThe accommodations were very comfortable. I liked the breakfast brunch very much.
