Heavitree Gap Outback Lodge

Fodor's Review:

Wild, black-footed rock wallabies are fed nightly in this resort at the base of the MacDonnell Ranges, a few hundred yards south of the break in the ranges known as Heavitree Gap. All rooms here are functional rather than stylish, with lodge and kitchenette rooms and four-bed dorm accommodations offering cooking facilities. There are 90 powered campsites and 3 acres of unpowered campsites available for travelers with caravans. Nightly entertainment from April to September, including a bush balladeer and a hands-on reptile show, contribute to the theme-park atmosphere. A free shuttle runs from the resort to Alice Springs, which is five minutes away.

  • Hotel Details: 60 rooms, 18 dormitories, 90 powered campsites
  • In-room: no phone (some), kitchen (some), refrigerator, Internet (some).
  • In-hotel: restaurant, pool, laundry facilities, laundry service, Internet terminal, parking (free), no-smoking rooms.
  • Credit Cards: AE, DC, MC, V
