We came for a short stay to celebrate a significant birthday. For more context, there were four of us, all adults. We really enjoyed our stay at Desert Gardens Hotel. The staff were helpful and friendly. The beds were comfortable. We ate at both restaurants and enjoyed every meal. Having the pool was essential.

The biggest plus for this hotel is proximity to Uluru. But very expensive accommodation for the standard. I was expecting high end facility but that was not the case. No one was very friendly or helpful

Staff was friendly. Our room was nice but very far away from shops and restaurants. We didn’t have hot water one morning but they fixed it fairly quickly. Also, asking for a late checkout will cost you $50! Overall it was pretty expensive but quiet. Uluru was amazing but you also need a park pass for an extra $38! The resort shuttle was great 👍

The room was advertised to have a view of Uluru. The documentation on the web site showed low level shrubbery with no restriction of the view. The picture must have been taken a long time ago as I could not see Uluru from the room at all because the shrubbery had grown so much as to block out the view. Web site needs to be updated. I shall think twice again booking from this site.

This is part of the Ayers Rock Resort- one of the few hotels on the property. There is a town square with market and a couple restaurants. A bar with music is part of the property. Does the job for a couple nights to see Uluru and explore.

Stayed here two nights to visit Uluru. The room was clean and comfortable but the A/C was turned off and the room got unbearable hot during the night. The heater also kept randomly restarting at night even when turned off. The tv was not hooked up to the internet and would not connect to the WiFi so we could not stream anything at night. Suffice to say we did not sleep well. The staff were not able to help…

Room to spreadout and enjoy.

Bistro is excellent. The resort is in a monopoly situation, but does deliver a good holiday.

Apart from the beautiful location the best asset for the DGH are its fantastic staff. The staff were delightful. I have stayed in many locations all over the world and must say that I have never come across staff as helpful as DGH's- well done! The food at the DGH was also excellent. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Cheers Susan
