Outback Hotel

Great location. Beautiful spots for sunrise and sunset without driving into the park. Great bar and vibe. Grab some take away drinks and head up a sand dune to watch the sunset. Very safe. Service was wonderful. By car the shops/cafes seem a trek but there's a path that cuts through so you can walk there in about 10 mins. Would absolutely stay again.

Outback Hotel was better than I expected. Check in experience was friendly, professional and easy. The standard room with 2 Queen beds was clean and nice. The bathroom looks like it's been renovated. The pool is great but what I loved the most was the self cook BBQ. There was a good variety of different meats to pick and cook on the clean BBQs . A buffet salad bar was included and we ate it whilst listening to music on stage. What a wonderful experience. And I got to taste camel and emu sausage for the first time . The hotel is a short walk- approx 12 mins into town or go on the free bus.

For a softy sook who’s used to a very different kind of hotel stay,the Outback hotel was a completely different experience. It’s definitely a 3 star,no frills,basic accommodation. Two lines at check in,one for the hotel,one for the hostel. Friendly,informative staff.| Room was OK. It’s the small things that make a huge difference to a comfortable stay.Light switches were dirty,gave them a good clean…A bottle of water would have been a nice/basic touch in the room. Ironing board was broken, a couple of light bulbs didn’t work.Our room was only cleaned the first day we were there.| Outside,the pool looked really murky,looked like it could have done with a good clean.| We ate breakfast there once. Unfriendly staff,Lukewarm food and sour milk in coffee…Food at the kiosk is fairly basic too,but,the chips are fab.Staff there,and at the bar are great.| For the money we paid,realistically,it was OK,but, could have been much better.| It really is an outback experience,a bed to sleep in.

Stayed 3 days at the hotel, not the lodge. Spotless, newer remodeled room with mini-fridge. Bathroom had plenty of space, hair dryer, make up mirror, dual shower heads and, surprisingly, great water temp and pressure. All staff were very friendly and helpful.||There were a few misses: room was not ready until nearly an hour and a half past check in time--this was true for everyone else we talked to. Also, information was not always relayed such as 3 breakfast options at The Bough House (full price for everything, center island/cold food for less or pay ahead for a discount.)||Still, this was an amazing value with peaceful, well landscaped grounds and pool by day and an active bar scene at night.||Wish we had longer to explore the natural wonder and culture of Uluru and the Anangu people

After reading mixed reviews i can Honestly say this is a fabulous hotel ...the rooms are all newly refurbished and very big ...beds super comfortable showers well appointed with hair-dryers shampoo ect ...lovely swimming pool and kiosk which has some of the cheapest food in the resort . The only gripe is that most staff are backpackers and hardly any Australians which really is a must for an outback Aussie experience. However all in all a great 3 night stay .

Everything the family needed. Friendly helpful staff. Clean, cool comfortable beds. A pool after hiking g around Uluru. A fabulous breakfast buffet with excellent coffee, a pool and a fun family bar to watch the AFL grand final. Regular shuttle buses to all the sights.

Comfortable stay. Decent sized rooms. Comfortable beds. Ample parking. There is a kiosk for takeaway food, you can buy meat and BBQ your own food and access the salad bar. Walking distance to IGA and cafe and a restaurant. There is a gift shop at the front which also sells drinks, toiletry items. The Shell station is 400m up the road and they do hot takeaway food, sell Decent souvenirs and household items. Only one thing I noticed, the 3 nights I was there, my room wasn't serviced. Unsure if had to ask for that to occur or not. Didn't bother me much as I just provided my trash when the housekeeper came past.

Lovely clean room! Comfortable bed and well priced for Yulara! Shampoo etc in room was really nice and great way to show off Australian products! Staff very friendly and helpful after a long work journey to nearby communities. Parking was close to the room but not directly outside and sometimes not much parking available close to my room. Short walk to the main square of Yulara.

The review covers the hotel in its entirety; lodging and restaurants. Check in was quick. The room I booked was in the hotel itself, a double and single bed. The room was just ok, there was some cleanliness issues with some hair from previous guests in place, things not cleaned properly or wiped down. The TV had issues and only worked on a few channels randomly. The room was over priced at $350 a night for a 2 start hotel is ridiculous. I've paid much much less and had way better quality and service. As to the food service in the hotel. All places had great quality food BUT like everything else well over priced. $10 a beer! $19 for a hamburger, $30+ to cook your own steak. It can't be the location, I had a meal at Curtin Springs and it tasted better and was nearly 1/2 the price. $45 for a roast and buffet was about 30% then if should have cost. In all they price everything at what ever they want as you have very few options and they know it. The Shell petrol station was the best priced food. Chips, wings, scollops, etc...all at a good price.

Ok I cannot say enough about the hamburger. Loved it so much came back a second time. Big enough to share. And the chips were delish. Now I want to add as an Australian living in America. These are two things I miss. But biting into the burger was the perfect welcome home. It has a beer garden feel about it. Live music nightly Tues-Sun. The missing star is due to the cost. Burger $17, six pack of beer $34, pre-mixed rum & coke $15. Australian currency. But would I come back? Yes!
