"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

Alice Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Felt safe and property was warm and welcoming."

Elkira Court Motel

2/10 Terrible

"We arrived shortly after 5pm and I called the number at the reception. The guy came past me no word got the envelope from a Tresor and passed it to me no explanation where the room is nothing. Almost said sorry for disturbing him. The room is spacious but in a lousy condition (toilet was leaking/ fridge was partially damaged aso) So if you stay for one night it’s maybe okay but don’t expect room service if you stay longer My tip take another motel "

Diplomat Hotel Alice Springs

4/10 Poor

"We stayed 2 nights, older hotel, good location There were a few insects in the room and bathroom The tub itself did not appear to have been actually cleaned in several months, it was a soaker tub, but I didn't even want to step in so no way would I use it as a bathtub The attached bar Uncle's was lively and interesting clientele"
