Desert Gardens Hotel

This was a good choice of a place to stay of the many options available. The check in process was long, but this was for a travel group of 17. The staff was very friendly with good attitudes, and the lobby was nice, large, and air conditioned. There were flies, but only a few, and if you don't have a fly net cap, get one because that only gets worse if you are touring this area. The room was a bit dated but large and very comfortable. The bathroom was large, clean and the bathtub was great treat to soak in. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The room had a sliding glass door that opened to a private patio with a view of the beautiful open desert. The breakfast buffet was neat, extremely clean, and comfortable with delicious choices of food in abundance, and plenty of staff keeping food stocked and tables clean. I was quite pleased with my stay at the Desert Gardens Hotel.

This hotel was really lovely, our room was spotless and really comfortable we had a view of Ayers Rock. The breakfast was the best iv had in any other hotel so much variety and lovely choc chip cookies. We ate at the restaurant and the steak was the best we’ve had, yes it was expensive but the meal was beautiful. We also ate at the cafe in the town centre which was slightly cheaper and also very nice.

Comfortable beds in good sized rooms Restaurant grill was excellent but the other option for dining was average. Smart TV had been disabled so could not stream from our own devices. However had decent free to air options. Shower over bath not ideal especially when the shower curtain was way too short to stop flooding of the bathroom floor. Overall an enjoyable experience

Exceeded Expectations – A Truly Memorable Stay!||From the moment we booked our stay at Desert Gardens Hotel, everything exceeded expectations. The booking process was smooth, and the service we received throughout our entire visit was exceptional.||Our rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-equipped — providing everything we needed for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. While the rooms may not be brand new, they are more than adequate, especially when you consider the remote and unique location.||The hotel staff were friendly, helpful, and always willing to assist with a smile. We booked several excursions through the resort, including the Field of Light Dinner and the Wintjiri Wiru experience — both of which were absolutely breathtaking and incredibly well-organised. The shuttles to excursions and airport run like clockwork.||We also made the most of the onsite amenities — enjoying drinks in the Desert Garden bar area and a delicious dinner at the Ilkari buffet. Honestly, the food there was next-level amazing — a true highlight of the trip.||I’ll admit, I was a little nervous before arriving after reading some of the mixed reviews online, but we needn’t have worried at all. Yes, there’s bore water (as expected in a remote desert location), but it didn’t affect the quality of our stay one bit.||We had a truly wonderful experience. Thank you, Desert Gardens Hotel, for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime.

We enjoyed our stay at the Desert Gardens Hotel at Ayers Rock Resort. We stayed one night in a standard room. It was comfortable and clean. The breakfast was good but not outstanding. The staff were very friendly. We can definitively recommend it.

We had a very comfortable four night stay in a garden view room. The service from check in to check out was excellent - staff from all different parts of the world who were all friendly, approachable and helpful. Our room was clean, modern, comfortable and spacious. It was also well maintained each day by housekeeping. The two restaurants within the hotel also had excellent service and the entrees and mains both evenings were tasty and of high standard (in our opinion, far better than what we get back in Brisbane). Thanks to the whole team for an absolutely fantastic stay!

Comfortable room, spacious, comfy bed and decent shower. Could do with a makeover considering the price. The resort in general is very overpriced especially for food. The experience is all about the scenery and once in the life trip but the resort has a captive audience and it's all about making money, such a shame.

A hotel in the middle of now where!! This is one of the very few tourist class hotel nears Aras Rock, aka Uluru. Well maintained as during our stay temps were over 103 f. Air conditioning worked well, rooms was very clean and comfortable One ate in the hotel as there are few restaurants for many miles. Food was a bit pricy but good quality and service was good
