 | |  |  | Outback Pioneer: Play Monopoly - Outback Pioneer | Tip Rating:    Satisfaction:   |  |  | |  |
If you are headed to Uluru, you have two major choices, camping or staying in the Voyages resort. The Voyages' resort is the only hotel chain in Yulara, the town outside of the national park. Luckily for you the people at Voyages realize that not everyone travels the same way, so they have actually developed 5 or 6 distinct properties there in Yulara to meet your needs.
The one that Sarah and I chose was the Outback Pioneer, which is the least expensive personal living space option. What I mean by this is that there is a camping and hostel option, but the Outback Pioneer is the least expensive that has a private bathroom.
The option that is available actually states bunkbeds as the accommodation, but if you go away from peak time, you have a good chance of getting a double bed and a single bed in your room.
The facilities were perfectly fine for three days, and the entire community becomes a small resort after the first day.
There is also a pool for swimming, a bar and outdoor community area to get a beer, as well as an outback style grill for your culinary delights.
You can also cross across the resort to the town centre and enjoy dinner at Gecko's, which you can bill back to your room. There is also a supermarket and souvenir shops located here.

| | | | THE LOST CAMEL: AYRES ROCK RESORT | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
The Lost Camel is a very trendy `boutique` hotel, its very nice but totally soulless.
The swimming pool was stunning, contemporary shapes and colours and water which was just the right temperature, but clutter it up with people swimming in it or relaxing around it and it looked rather harsh
the service from the tiny bar was good but very slow, and there is no restaurant though the central plaza of the resort, with shops restaurant and take away is just behind the hotel
the rooms are spotlessly clean and very comfortable, they have CD players but no TV, there is a large screen TV in the lobby, if theres something you particularly want to watch stake your claim to the remote control early..........we wanted to see The Rabbit Proof Fence, much to the [loudly expressed] disgust of a European guest
there is internet access but at A$2 for 10 minutes it was ridiculously expensive
the most unique things we found about the Lost Camel were the door tag, which instead of saying `do not disturb` said `leave me alone`..........[this made us roar with laughter we are easily amused ], and the discovery that the shampoo supplied came from our home town in the UK, 13,000 miles away
the accommodation was very expensive, as it all is here, and the hotel is completely non-smoking Leave a Comment Theme: HotelPrice: US$180 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Yulara DrivePhone: 1300 134 044Directions: behind the Shopping Square

| | | | Voyages Longitude 131 all-inclusive resort: "Glamping"- Longitude 131 style @ Uluru | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
Longitude 131 (a Voyages Resort Group) is simply unique and awesome. Accomodations, food, service and ambiance are all 5-star plus.
I have never stayed in any resort like it before. It consists of only 15 individually-designed and brilliantly appointed "tents" and each has a private view of Uluru (Ayers Rock) and the extraordinary landscape of the Outback of Central Australia (but still within the Northern Territory).
This all-inclusive resort offers airport transfers, all food, snacks, beverages & wines/spirits, tours and accommodations and is the only resort that actually views Uluru.
The resort has a large pool, viewing areas and several rest-relax spots but the draw is always the "rock" and it can be seen from almost everywhere on the property.
The complimentary tours and events are incredible.
Sunset champagne toasts to Uluru, 5-star cuisine dinner under the stars, astronomy lectures and sky viewing, digideroo concert, sunset walks and canapes/champagne at the base of Uluru, sunrise walks and "brekkie" (breakfast) at the base of Uluru, tours of the Cultural center and so many more.
There is a total of 15 private, luxury tents featuring:
• King-size bed (twin available upon request) • Air Conditioning / Heating • Bath Robes • Private Bathroom • Shower • Shaving Outlet • Hair Dryers • Mini Bar • CD Player • Lounge • Arm Chair • Writing Desk • Tea & Coffee making facilities • In-Room Safe • Pool Towels • Smoke Detectors • Direct Dial ISD/STD Telephone • Daily Cleaning • Evening Turndown Service
Each elevated tent also tells a story of an early Australian pioneer or explorer with pictures and narratives throughout. The walls have a unique interior design in earthy natural tones, finishes and fibres with an eclectic mix of classical colonial and contemporary pieces. Wardrobes and vanity basins are similar early 1900's Australian food chests and wash troughs.
The white dome roof & flowing fabric draped from the center "big top" create the illusion of camping but only in comfort. A bedside switch can raise the floor-to ceiling window blinds to allow Uluru at sunrise to work its magic. These eco-green rooms are designed to remain cool in summer & warm in winter with individual controls.
The Dune House, in the middle of the "camp" site, is a huge communal facility and central meeting place for all Longitude 131° guests where meals are served and where the reception is available to meet any needs or wants.
The Dune House also includes a library with maps, a comprehensive collection of historical and current books, games, a large screen TV, DVD player (with library) & internet station. You can access the well-stocked bar and enjoying a drink in the lounge or out on the deck with stunning views of Uluru and the surrounding desert.
