Location was great , near to the shops and restaurants and the viewing point for Uluru. There was also an excellent coach service to and from the airport. Easy to pick up the coaches for the trips too from the hotel.
Perfectly positioned to make the most of the Australian outback, Sails in the Desert is just a 5-minute walk from the Uluru (Ayers Rock) lookout and is a great spot to take in the desert sunrise or...

Everything was easy and walkable in the area. The rooms were great, food was great.
Situated less than 15 km from Ayers Rock, The Lost Camel Hotel offers air-conditioned rooms and an outdoor swimming pool with sun terrace.

The location was perfect. It was within walking distance to the “Town Centre” where IGA, souvenir shops, restaurant, cafe and takeaway are located. I attended the free interesting an informative Cultural talks at the Town Centre and the open Amphitheatre. The room was clean and comfortable. There was a pool there, but we didn’t have enough time to use it. Staff were friendly and helpful. We found the daily activity schedule and information provided helpful. Would have been good to have stayed there an extra night.
Emu Walk Apartments are just a short walk from Ayers Rock Resort centre. Each apartment is air-conditioned and has a TV with free-to-air channels, plus a balcony or veranda.

Fantastic service on arrival. Warm, friendly and genuine service. Info pack pre-packaged for convenience and made suggestions for local activities including free information around Yulara
Palya!! Outback Lodge Ayers Rock Resort is in a town called Yallara amongst the Anangu people. Close to Shell Petrol station ($2.98/Ltr 91 Unleaded), Few minutes drive from IGA Shop in the town centre. I recommend booking for Field of Lights, Wintjiri Wiru drone show (weather permitted) and Helicopter scenic flight around Uluru and Kata Tjuta ($315 per person for 25 min flight).
Kata Tjuta is a 45 to 50min drive and has various hiking routes. Recommend some hikes while your there Valley of the Winds which is 7km hike from carpark. Resort has a wonderful viewing of Ayers rock close to Outback lodge perfect for Sunrise and Sunset. Camel Farm is near by outback Lodge, it also has a free museum for you to visit. Recommend booking a sunrise or sunset camel ride.
Swimming pool is clean at the resort, freezing in the month of May. There is a communal kitchen with Fridge and Microwave. There is a Bar and BBQ which you can buy your meat and cook yourself. Steaks from $45 with unlimited Salad bar. Live music in evening. Has a Pizza shop across the Bar which also sells chicken nuggets n chips and Fish n Chips. Overall it is a good place for Famiies and Couples .

Truly spiritual and overwhelming experience.
Truly spiritual and overwhelming experience. It's a pity most Aussies have not visited this place. Best to drive yourself so you can take your time and make your own schedule. Every viewing point is set up well and signposted for easy access.
You can easily spend 2 days driving around the rock, witnessing sunrise and sunset with their own unique vistas.
Evening dinner with lights event although overpriced was a beautiful experience due to the stars and the astronomer who showed the constellations. Much betwer than the bunch of solar usb powered bulbs on a springy stalk.
Tip- a fly net on your face is dorky but a must!

Loved the aat kings tours and astro tour and hop on hop off bus trips. Loved the spiritual energy of the rock uluru. Loved walking around the rock and photographing it. Loved being outdoors near the rock and olgas the best. Loved the lunches at geckos cafe and souvenir shops too. The magnificent uluru rock and spiritual feeling and being outdoors in close proximity to uluru, the beautiful desert and warm to hot sunny days, no clouds in the sky was the best. Aat kings sunset tours and aat kings mala walk and drive around uluru and astro skies tour were the best, highlights of my holiday.

Most of the essentials are within the vicinity, staff and residents are friendly, however most of the activities that need tickets are expensive. The staff made changes with no fuss just to accommodate our requests (bookings)

We filled out 2.5 days with tours at dawn and in the nights and went to classes in the town square in between. We walked around all the resorts and ate meals at different places to experience many of them. It's very easy to walk around the resorts or catch the free circuit bus. We thought we would have gone on longer walks around Uluru and Kata Tjuṯa if we had a couple more days to stay.

We loved touring around Uluru and Kata Tjuta.
We loved touring around Uluru and Kata Tjuta.
Loved the Field of Lights Tour.
Loved the Helicopter flight over Uluru. The indigenous cultural talks and tours were midday when we were out and about. If they could have those later in the evenings it would have been better.
Dont do the Emu Plains BBQ sunset tour - at $139 per head it was rushed and not worth it at all.
Overall it was beautiful to finally see Uluru and Kata Tjuta
In the evenings there wasn't much to do after sunset and after 3 nights got very boring.
Room was simple, but spotless. Swimming pool was a wonderful spot to cool off after long hikes in 30+ temperatures. Location was terrific… right beside the “town square” with access to cafes, a grocery store, souvenir stores and a place to book tours. We had stayed here on our first trip to Australia 12 years ago, and could not make a booking six years ago because of renovations. We were happy to return and not stay in one of the more expensive venues.
Big comfortable room with an efficient air conditioner which was needed. Spacious fridge, nice sofa seats. Lots of space to put things. Great swimming pool which was never crowded and shaded sun loungers. Also liked that local.kids were allowed a short swim in the pool. . Middle of the resort so handy for eating places, booking trips and pick up for coach into the national park was 3 minutes walk. Pick up for airport right outside hotel reception.
it has everything you need. from towels, toiletries, kitchen equipment ( fab for your own cooking)milk, coffee, tea, sugar, iron, ironing board, hairdryer, large tower fan in the bedroom as well as air con ( throughout). beautiful balcony and 5 mins from the resort centre, which has everything and the pool at sails in the desert is wonderful. it’s incredibly spacious and mega clean. love it. the best ❤️
We enjoyed our stay at Sails at the Desert. The rooms were big, the resort handled most logistics which made travel easier, parking was readily available each time and the staff were nice. We didn't use the free airport shuttle provided by the hotel/resort because we rented a car, but that is a very nice benefit for guests. We also appreciated the free ice water in the lobby to refill our water bottles.
The room was big and clean.
The hotel has a bar and a nice restaurant (best value in the resort!)
There’s also a nice pool and the hotel provides pool towels
The staff was really nice and helpful
Free shuttle to and from the airport
All the activities have a pick from the hotel and all we’re on time
Lovely hotel in a great spot and very spacious. Had a minor issue which was resolved but perhaps needed more prompt attention. The beds were soooo comfy. A great place to stay in the desert and you only need to walk for 10 minutes to see Uluru from the lookout.
This was a beautiful accommodation for our last stop in Australia. There are amenities all within walking distance from Sails in the Desert which was great. The staff and hotel were everything we wanted. I would definitely stay here again.
Nice room that´s actually bigger than it looks like on photo. Nice a/c. Very close to shops and restaurants. Friendly staff.
It´s not a perfect hotel but it sure is reasonable for the price you pay, comparing to its neighbours.
Nice, spacious room. Convenient on- site restaurant/ bar. Lovely pool for swimming/ relaxing. Path to an observation site for watching the sunrise/ sunset. Shuttle stop in front of hotel for going to village/ other hotels.
It was great that we could utilise the facilities of the surrounding hotels like the pools and bar.
Also when we dined in the restaurants we could charge back to our apartment.
Recently renovated, the rooms in the hotel part are new and very comfortable and clean. The Outback bar has good food and live music. Efficient and appreciated airport transfers.
The apartment was roomy, and all furnishings were comfortable. The amenities available from the resort were good, with many free "experiences" to enjoy.
