"We really enjoyed our stay. It was very family-friendly with plenty to do, and both kids and adults had a great time. The staff were friendly and check-in was quick and easy. The place had everything we needed, including cutlery, plates, cups, and bowls. The outdoor BBQ area was a highlight—very clean with plenty of seating, making it perfect for relaxed family dinners outside. There were also activities available, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Overall, a great experience and we’d...

"Beautiful views! Glamping tents were so spacious and the kitchenette was so well appointed. Michelle was very welcoming and even built a fire for roasting marshmallows. A great alternative choice for staying near Alice Springs. Only 10 minutes from town. We stayed in July, which was pretty cold in the mornings though we did sleep warm with comforters and electric blankets. It was getting up and moving for breakfast that was a little challenging as it was so cold. The views and atmosphere make...

Top The Gap Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Alice Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Great Place to star. Not far from the Desert Park and Groceries "

Diplomat Hotel Alice Springs

8/10 Good

"I booked a good rate with Expedia but found that this hotel seems to have two classes of room - one in an old and degraded building and one in a large new section. I was in the former. Room was fine with all required amenities but still a little shabby. I used the laundry room and that wasn’t very clean and driers barely working. But this hotel is in a great location and is secure, so on the whole 4/5."

Discovery Parks - Alice Springs
