Curtin Springs Station

We stayed on an unpowered site, and the best way I can describe it is everything works, it's just needs updating. The site itself was good. It's a desert, you bring your own shade. The toilets flush but the block is rusting out and feels like a strong breeze might blow it down. The shower was hot and the pressure was great but the head was sitting around my chest height (paying for it was fine seeing the site was free). And it they are going to update stuff maybe calling Uluru by it's name in the brochure as well

If you can't survive without 5-star accommodation and food with all the bells and whistles, then Curtin Springs is not for you. Stay at Yulara - it's typical of 5-star resorts around the world. Curtin Springs, on the other hand, provides an excellent opportunity to experience the Australian outback way of life. With a car, it is within reach of Uluru and Kata Tjuta, as well as King’s Canyon. The accommodation is comfortable, the food is home-made and delicious (the toasted bacon & egg sandwiches make the best breakfast!), the staff are helpful and friendly and are happy to chat. The family is always willing to discuss life on a large cattle station, including its many opportunities and challenges. Staying at Curtin Springs also provides an excellent opportunity to support the local cattle industry, which helps to feed the country.

Very convenient location between Uluṟu and Kings Canyon. We had a family unit - outside was shabby but looked to have been refurbished inside. Two bedrooms- one at either end of unit and good lounge area in between. No wifi or t.v. Spacious - refurbished bathroom. Drawbacks - chicken coop too close with crowing roosters before dawn. Meals - adequate- not much choice. Breakfast nearly all options have eggs - we asked for scrambled but chef would only do fried! How bizarre- whisk some eggs with a bit of milk and seasoning and cook it on the hot plate. I would’ve been happy to do it. Shows they are not interested in customer service. We stayed there a few months ago and had scrambled eggs. Feel like we are an annoyance- to be endured. They were happy to take $390 for one night stay, however!

I stayed here 20 years ago and it hasn't changed... which is kind of nice, but also means it's badly in need of an upgrade - the toilet/shower block at any rate! ||I had a powered site, helpful, nice staff and the basics that you need on an outback stop... so I am grateful.

We chose to stay here rather than at Uluru Resort. It’s a little farther away, but absolutely worth it. The showers were clean and inexpensive, and the staff behind the bar and serving dinner were absolutely lovely. The sunset from here was phenomenal. Do yourself a favor and order the veggie soup!

DON'T STAY HERE if you have a choice, you are ripped off from the minute you go to buy fuel, pay for a powered site ($60 with power, no water no shower UNLESS you pay an extra $5 per person per shower), buy food and if you still have any money left they'll take that for a cold alcoholic drink $15.50 for a can of gingerbeer!!! If you do fork out for a shower the 'batheoom' is filthy, the washbasin is filthy the mens pee trough in the toilets is disgusting, it's a rort. The bbq is absolutely filthy, you'd be lucky not to get salmonella off it if it was even connected to the gas!! We spoke to several foreigner travellers who were also here for the night, they felt the same way, we told them not everywhere is as bad as this and not everybody is out to rip you off in Australia, please don't judge us all and our country by this place. I hope they believed us, this place makes Australia and Australians look very bad compared to other countries we've seen!!

Booked in to more of a reading of rules than a welcome. I’ve travelled over 30k kms per yr over the last few years and this was embarrassing given I had some overseas guests with me on this occasion. $260 a night for very average accommodation when we had just spent less for an apartment on George St. Sydney. I suggest the owners have a close review of staff and facilities and try and match those with the brochure. This facility is tired and in need of investment. The food was excellent and that is what raises this review from 1 star to 2.

Stayed here for 3 nights on a powered site, absolutely disgusting for $60 p/n and no water, $5.00 for a shower and $10 to fill one tank in the caravan, the meal we had was disgusting, a lump of meat like leather with a few soggy chips, the toilets were also the worst i have ever seen, the smell was overpowering , ( and that’s in winter time) Sorry Curtin springs but you need to lift your game. And no I wouldn’t recommend or ever stay there again.

Good for the bush! Have stayed here several times. Nice cabins clean and comfy. Friendly staff. Only sell instant coffee - shame! No soap in toilets - very bad! Lots of caged birds and emus to see - fun for the kids to look around.
