Hotels Overview

Alice Springs has all kinds of accommodation choices: youth hostels and motels, a casino-hotel, and top-quality resorts. Caravan and camping parks are also popular, and have numerous facilities and even entertainment. Ayers Rock Resort -- which is the only place to stay in the vicinity of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park -- is actually a group of seven different accommodations with different price ranges, all of which are managed by Voyages Hotels & Resorts.

Homesteads and cattle stations also abound in the bush between Alice Springs and Uluru, and you can stay on the ranch or camp on the property.

The high season runs from April to September, so book ahead during this time. The Central Australian Tourism Industry Association in Alice Springs has hotel details, and Voyages Hotels & Resorts handles Ayers Rock Resort bookings. Ask about low-season discounts.
