Alice Springs Hotel Reviews

Hired 4 wheel drive in Alice (Avis) drove to Uluru, Kings Canyon back to Alice. Visited Rainbow Valley, Palm Valley, Simpsons Gap, Stanley Chisolm, Meteorite Craters. All great to see. Very good having own transport to go where and when you please. Also 4 wheel drive a plus being able to go to more places. Best restaurant in Alice is Rudi''s. Great food, service, attention and excellent value. Highly recommended.

If going to Uluru, make sure you stay the night, then hit Kings Canyon the next day. You can stay at a "Roadhouse" for $45-80AU. Also, you DO NOT need a 4wd to visit Uluru, Kings Canyon and the McDonnell ranges. If you are doing some serious overnight camping, you would need a 4wd and not from your normal rental car place.

We had our own 4WD to go around. Rainbow Valley and the Gosse Bluff is a must to see. For a nice drink and Aussie food I would recommend the Bojangle´s. It was our 8th visit to Alice.

Palm Valley is well worth a visit (you definitely need a good 4WD). It is an enchanting valley full of whispering Palm trees. Time your visit well and have the place to yourself!

We recommend Gondwana and Papunya Tula for those interested in aboriginal art.

Alice Springs is wonderful. We were planning on going only to Ayers Rock but decided to spend one night in Alice to see what it was like. I truly love a town called Alice and would suggest anyone passing through on their way to the ROCK to stop and have a look around.

Be sure to visit the Olgas as well as Ayers rock. Kings Canyon is also worth a visit. Todds Tavern on the mall has very good food including a great salad/veggie bar for very reasonable prices!

The day trip to Ayers rock was good value for money.

Alice Springs is wonderful. Great place to visit, lots to do in town and in the surrounding country. We intend to return (but stay in a different place). The flies can be a problem, but they aren''t always that bad. It''s worth it.

Tours to Ayers Rock (Uluru), a must!! School of the Air, Royal Flying Doctors. Lots of flies in the area. You may want to buy a fly net before going to Ayers Rock, we found that to be a good investment!

All of Australia was fantastic!!

Very interesting area. We took a three day (escorted) trip to Uluru and Kings Canyon which was thrilling but arduous!! In town we recommend Bojangles bar. Also the walk up Anzac Hill. All of Alice VERY friendly. Beware the flies though.

We did a 3 day Adventure Tour which was excellent! Including Uluru/Katja Kutja and Kings Canyon. Remember a flynet - they are not called bugs for nothing!

Alice is a unique place. Very hot but comfortable. Everything is right here. Unfortunately, every other thing is kilometers away from town. Unless one is sightseeing, it''s not really a problem. I like it here.

Book the EMU RUN tour bus to see Ayres rock at sunset.

It'' s a strange place in the desert.

Relaxed atmosphere somewhat outside of the city - transportation to the city or to the airport is no problem using the shuttle bus service. Feeding the wallabies was great fun for our children.

Alice Springs is small, hot, and doesn''t have a whole lot to offer. I wouldn''t plan a trip to Alice Springs just to see it, but nearly all the outback tours start there and the outback is incredible, a must see. It has a casino which is a joke, but there are a few good restaurants in the town. I would recommend Red Ocre Grill, which has good food and wine, even though the menu is not extensive.

Easy walk across Todd River to very helpful Info Center and to Todd Mall. LONG bus ride to Ayers Rock; recommend you spend the nite there if you can afford it and have the time. Emu Tours good guides but dinner not very good. Ballooning over the outback pretty cool if you''ve never done a balloon ride before and want to get up VERY early!!

Alice Springs was everything one imagined. Travelled to Kings Canyon and Ayers Rock from Alice Springs and then returned before flying on to Cairns.
