Lock in a great price for Desert Gardens Hotel – rated 8 by recent guests!

to get started.

The surrounds around the resort were in excellant maintained condition.

Laurie, Australia

Very convinient location, good breakfast, market nearby, many good restaurants. Nice choice if visiting Uluru

Simona, Slovenia

Location was great with good shuttle service. Room was comfortable Staff were excellent

Kimberley, Australia

Staff were amazing, very attentive and helpful. Leroy who ran the free walking tour around the resort was an absolute gem, so knowledgeable and so engaging.

Jocelyn, Australia

The view of the desert landscape, the gardens especially the ghost gums. Also the restaurants. Bed and pillows were comfortable, access to outdoor sitting area great. Staff very helpful.

Heather, Australia

Very close to national park, very clean, good facilities, excellent excursions, everything on site

Siddley, New Zealand

The staff were very accommodating, friendly and went out of their way to help in any way. We nearly missed sunrise tour pickups, but staff ensured we somehow made it almost on time and ensured our days went to plan!! Breakfast was delightful each day. Despite being completely full, at no time did the resort feel crowded. It is beautifully hardened and the rooms are private! And the only resort to sit back on your balcony with a cool drink and be able see Uluru/Ayers Rock at ALL times!! The photo doesn’t do justice!! Just a snap from the balcony with an iPhone....... that is a beautiful way to way up!!!

Cheron, Australia

Excellent hotel, staff very friendly. Facilities were great and everything was very close by. Lovely atmosphere, relaxing and peaceful.

Ashleigh, United Kingdom

The service in your ,posh, restaurant was excellent but otherwise just ok. Our finished room service plates which we left outside the door were only removed after 2 days despite the fact that we called them twice to remind.

Dieter, Australia

The girl at the front desk was fantastic and pronounced our surname spot on.

“Would never reccomend or stay there again until prices come down”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
The exorbitant cost of the entire stay. This includes meals, rooms, fuel and tours. Our room was only three away from the furtherest boundary of the property to the car park and being forced to walk that distance in the heat was extremely difficult.
The surrounds around the resort were in excellant maintained condition.

Extremely overpriced. Restaurant was very disorganized, took 3 hours between sitting and eating, the food wasnt good and overpriced as well. Checkin should be earlier for people with limited time in Uluru considering the price paid. Car rental overpriced and includes very few miles.
Location. Rooms were comfortable and spacious.

“The room was recently refurbished. Need more staff training !”
- • Leisure trip

- • Deluxe Double Room

Housekeeping was poor; waste bins not emptied, bathroom never tidied and replenished only when we asked. Staff in the restaurant were not properly trained, forgot our orders completely and had to be reminded after about an hours wait. what were supposed to be cold beverages were luke warm. Bathroom tiles floor and wall around the bath could have been cleaner than they were.
A recently renovated room was nice and fresh to start with.

More or larger shelf space in bathroom, also hanging rails/ hooks for towels when reusing them. A wider selection of tea-I drink green tea as sensitive to caffeine, but green tea with jasmine (all that was available) is awful! Most hotels do have a selection in rooms too.

Paid 520$ a night and when I asked for some body lotion (couldn’t find it in the room), I was told that only the premium rooms get it. Should be standard supply in all rooms of a 4 star hotel especially when they’ve charged us $520 for the night! Our rooms were not ready until almost three pm. I had to ask for a couple of drink vouchers while we were waiting for over an hour. These should have been offered without me asking for them.
