    8AnthonyPosted on: 1-28-2026

    Great location and poll was really clean and well looked after

    rooms on the other hand we had to change rooms after we looked and found that it was filthy and had not been cleaned for sometime properly After moving rooms it was better

    8MichelePosted on: 1-26-2026

    Spacious self contained unit with outdoor patio. Secure parking and good location

    Having to use key tag to initiate power to Aircon. Could not keep room cool if had to leave unit for outing. Sweltering temperatures in Central Australia make walking into locked unit uncomfortable.

    3EbonyPosted on: 1-26-2026

    The pool and location

    The room smelt like mould and the air con was undersized for the room. It was 43 degrees and took the room hours to cool down after the aircon was turned on.

    8RosePosted on: 1-23-2026

    Good location and clean and good pool!

    4ChrisPosted on: 1-22-2026

    The pool is great!

    The room stunk like sewage and there was mouldy food under the bed

    8KhelsiePosted on: 1-20-2026

    The pool and bbq facilities are always amazing!!

    The room location was good, however we did feel a little unsafe as the fences didn’t have much security on the side. Not having a spare key for the aircon to be on when we utilised the BBQ area.

    10NinoPosted on: 1-14-2026

    Excellent place to stay. Friendly staff, comfortable bed, great bathroom, AC cooled perfectly, secure parking in front of unit.

    Nothing to add here

    5RickPosted on: 1-10-2026

    Location was good. Ease of booking in.

    Very poor air-conditioning. Alice Springs experiences very hot temperatures in January and the air conditioner was not up to it. The room itself was very hot. The wall radiated heat from the outside, and the air-con could not cool the room. It was also noisy. Staff should have ensured air-con was on an hour before arrival.

    8ElizabethPosted on: 1-10-2026

    Great pool area. Enough equipment to prepare & cook simple meals. Good balcony. Tv good

    9SamPosted on: 1-9-2026

    staff filled rooms and left space for room to move

    too many questions on your survey ,starting to feel like an interrogation

    9CoraliePosted on: 1-8-2026

    Very family friendly, secure and convenient

    No faults

    9AntoniaPosted on: 1-6-2026

    Great pool, lovely room, very peaceful

    The bbq area could be made a bit more inviting, eg with some outdoor tables - but everything else was fantastic

    7GailPosted on: 1-4-2026

    Nice island pool. Secure parking outside villa.

    How crammed the beds were in the family villa. Having to wait for the room to cool down as aircon would only run with tag in slot.

    7LorrainePosted on: 12-29-2025

    Location & practicality,comfortable.

    The toilet roll dispensers. It was literally impossible to use,they were useless. We ended up buying our own rolls of toilet paper.

    10AsotinaPosted on: 12-29-2025

    room location always acceptable very quiet and safe for a stay, staff were so friendly always respectful with the service in reception clear informations served well, Thank you very much for having us over

    10TraceyPosted on: 12-25-2025

    The staff were very friendly. Carolina was very helpful and such great customer service.

    The palm trees fronds out the front of cabin made it difficult to get in and out of my car without them hitting me in the face. Had to try and manoeuvre them with one hand and other try open and close car door.
