Emu Walk Apartments

Apartment wasn't the same as the ones advertised on the website. Early check-in was greatly appreciated our Room 222 was cool and comfortable, great air conditioning. Apartment was well appointed with everything we needed. Toaster does need replacing in room 222. Room needs a deep clean marks and stains on the lounge, curtains and carpet. Bathroom products are nice, lots of towels good water pressure plus flexi shower head was a bonus. No fly screens or security screens on any windows or doors was a little concerning as our room backed onto an empty block. We had a little furry visitor that the staff dealt with swiftly. Arron was lovely however really needed some support or more training before being left to run the front of house. Would have been nice to have been advised of the onsite restaurants, swimming pool, how to check out if reception not open and the correct information about tours. Close to everything, shuttle bus at the front door of reception. Gardens and general appearance of resort is old, messy and dirty lots of leaf matter and bits of rubbish, dead or dying plants, I understand it's the desert however it looks like no effort is put into Emu Apartments. Other resorts have plants, ponds etc. Would I stay at Emu walk again I don't believe so I felt Desert Gardens was very closely priced at the same point however better appointed and maintained.

Rooms are very nice and the decor was fab.Bathroom felt as though it could be due an upgrade as it didn’t really match the level of the rest of the apartment. The whole of the Ayers Rock Resort felt a bit like a holiday commune (in a good way) and there was a really eclectic mix of visitors from all over the world. Staff were excellent.The one IGA supermarket was definitely not as expensive as we thought considering the remoteness of the spot.Would definitely recommend hiring a car for 2-3 days to free yourself from the highly priced experiences and to enable you to make your own way to the amazingly unique and unworldly star of the show…Uluru itself!

Great experience and comfortable stay, Ayers Rock provide a great free activities to room guests and the guides are so professional and friendly. We only got a little bit comments on the hotel reception, both of them were lack of experience and not familiar the resort’s facilities. Lastly, the food is delicious and valued price in Uluru.

Stayed here for our Uluṟu bucket list trip. Over all resort is dated and slightly run down but rooms were nice and comfortable. Easy to get around and the town square was nice with souvenir shops plus cafes and an iga for food shopping. Staff were friendly and helpful. Pick up for tours was good and easy. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

All the staff at Ayers Rock resort are friendly and helpful. The apartment is self-contained, spacious, very new, clean facilities and modern design. It’s quiet, 190metres to the pickup point, and close to the town square, IGA, cafe. I didn’t know I left my iPhone charger in the bedroom. The staff contacted me straightaway.

If you’re after rude reception staff, stained towels, no body wash in the shower, a room (and fridge) that smells putrid from the last occupants cooking, dirty dishes in the cupboards on arrival and an aircon that breaks mid stay then this is the accommodation for you! Also please note we wouldn’t advise getting sick and needing urgent medical attention while staying here as the staff are unable to help accommodate a later check out (even by half an hour!) or even offer to assist with luggage. Great proximity to Uluru though, and they were able to get the aircon fixed within an hour after we called multiple numbers once the front desk closed.

This was a great option travelling with three adults. Separate bedroom and our son slept on the sofa bed. Great to have some kitchen facilities. We didn’t mind that the apartment wasn’t serviced during our 3 night stay - there were loads of towels supplied there was nothing else we needed. Air con was a little clunky sounding but didn’t need to be on for long as it heated up really quickly. Very comfortable and nicely decorated, short walk to town square and restaurants. Would stay here again.

Highly disappointed. I booked an apartment because I have dietary requirements and need to cook for myself. But the “kitchen” doesn’t have an oven 😡. Also, I found a cockroach in the kitchen which made it not very inviting to cook either…. Edit: are you really suggesting that there was a oven in the room and I didn’t see? Really!? Do you think we are stupid? Of course, I’ve talked to the front desk and they confirmed neither my room nor any other room had an oven option.

It's clean and spacious. The only thing is, it's skipped by the tour buses and need to walk to the other hotel. Wish the rooms were cleaned every two days at least. We stayed for three nights and four days and our unit was not cleaned even once. But we have enough towels. Staff are on to deal with. The front office could be a little friendlier. The bathroom in the reception area stinks so much.

Location: It's on the resort, next to Desert Springs. The airport shuttle is the only bus that picks up here. The free resort shuttle and the tours all pick up at Desert Springs. It's about a 10 minute walk on the main road to the Uluru lookout spot, which is very nice. No restaurant/food at this hotel. Room: The living room was large and the sofa was big and comfy. There's a washer and dryer that we didn't use. The bedrooms are a good size and the beds and pillows were nice. The bathroom is big but the shower stall is on the small side. The apartment is starting to show its age, especially noticeable in the bathroom and the carpeting. Toilet is stained, probably by the soft water. This place could definitely use some upgrading/renovations. Service: The front desk staff- some are nicer than others. The lady who checked us in insisted on trying to check two groups in at once but then would get snippy if we didn't answer her when she spoke to us- as if we were somehow supposed to know which group she was directing her requests to as she didn't look up! Also, some questions we received different answers to. The cell phone/WiFi was completely down at the entire resort for our 1.5 day stay, including all hotels, restaurants, stores, grocery store, and park. You had to either use cash or charge to room if that was an option. This hotel was the most expensive one on our trip to NZ and Australia. You don't really have a choice as the only way place to stay is at the resort and this was the only apartment hotel there. Based on our experience at this resort, I wouldn't recommend visiting.

I lived with three other family members in one apartment, which had very spacious living/dining areas so that we could spread out. The master bedroom with a king sized bed is linked to the only bathroom. Towels and some toiletries were provided. The two pull out mattress were decently comfy. Had to call to get some sheets, which came by in 15 minutes. Kitchen is large and includes silverware and pots; the nearest grocery store is only a 5 minute walk so can easily prepare meals. Air conditioning is present but gave the place a funny smell and was hard to control. Also, since there was only one bathroom/shower, we had to figure out how to share. Price: $414/night, with breakfast included; its on the pricey side but it's the only apartment option in Ayers Rock resort.

Five Stars for a 3 star hotel. So there are 5 properties in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Park and the Emu Walk is one of properties in the Central hotel area right next to the town square. There is a complimentary hotel shuttle from the Ayers Rock airport operated by ATT Kings tours and the motor coaches come with free wi-fi, although very slooow. The front desk clerk was very cordial and had all of my day trip information available and was able to check me in early knowing I had a tour booked before the 3PM check in time. We booked a little late so the only availability was at the Emu Walk in the 1 bedroom apartment, and for $200 a night, was deal for a newly remodeled suite (please see pictures). The beds are really soft, the AC was awesome, and having a full kitchen was awesome for our last morning since we were able to make breakfast with items from the market which is right next door to the Emu Walk. There was even a washer and drier in the kitchen. In addition to the nice bedroom and living areas, there were two balconies, with a balcony that had a desert view. There is also free wi-fi but it is also a bit on the slow side. Instagram and Facebook uploads were a little slow or would fail. But we have no problem with emails on our devices. The only negative point was that the tour do not pick up or drop off so you will need to walk five minutes next door to the Desert Gardens. Just another FYI that the airport transfer is 2 hours before your flight takes off, even though the airport is 15 minutes away. I look forward to my next trip which will be during the Australian Winter when there are less flies!

Uluru is an oasis in the outback/desert! There are only a few hotel options, this is the mid-tier choice. Plenty of room/space. Washer/dryer is nice. Small kitchenette. Limited TV channels. It's located right next to the central square, which is very convenient!

Brilliant We choose these apartments because they had been refurbished. We checked in early and they phoned us when the rooms were ready about half an hour later. (There was one girl on reception duty, all the people before us had major problems, the receptionist was brilliant, sorted everyone!) The apartments were spacious, clean and well designed with all the comforts of home. Check out was just as simple as check in! Would recommend and return.
