Desert Gardens Hotel | Best places to stay in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park

"After a few hours in the desert, travellers find themselves craving for something lush and green. And that’s exactly what you’ll find at the Desert Gardens Hotel: an oasis in this harsh yet beautiful arid landscape. This mid-size hotel is surrounded by tropical gardens, and is the only  hotel within the Ayers Rock Resort that has guest rooms with views of Uluru. Rooms are a touch corporate, but all have their own patios (some with that extraordinary view). The location is also excellent, with shops, cafes and other facilities on the doorstep.
