I wanted to be at a safe property in the central part of Alice Springs to visit friends and Uluru. The individual villas provided a nice option in the Outback.

Positives:

-Outside grounds and lanes appeared well maintained.

Negatives:

-Unit had dim lighting.
- air conditioning unit dripped water on daughter’s bed. When I moved the bed away from under the a/c unit, there were a number of dead bugs under the bed, and my daughter wouldn’t see there.
-bathroom was very sparse, and the shower stall had been poorly maintained.
-bedding was old and well worn.
-staff was nonexistent

Clean room, except the lizard… It does not have a restaurant and the area is such, that the gate is locked between sunset and sunrise. It does have a great air conditioner and water pressure.

Our second time staying here. This place is fabulous. Clean, spacious rooms, friendly knowledgeable staff, lovely pool area.
My only recommendation is a fan for the room. The air con is too intense for the entire evening.

Self contained villa with cooking facilities gave us the option of preparing our own meals or dining out.
A microwave dish would be handy.

Each unit was separate, as a single unit with gabled roof. This meant it was quiet. There was a laundry and pool, great for those of us who had returned from walking the Larapinta Trail. The back of the property borders onto the golf course, which was a good dining option. Town was only a 20-30 minute walk (depending on how fast your walking speed), so good access for shopping and the fortnightly market. The property had its own kitchenette, with coffee and tea making facilities as well as a microwave. This was very handy. I will definitely stay here again.

Nice stay in a comfortable villa unit. Well-appointed kitchen & bathroom, both of which were very clean.
Good bedding, linen & towels.
Tried the pool, the water was freezing - too cold to swim in despite the 26-degree day.
Good car parking beside the unit.

Great stay

5 night stay at the Desert palms - great location with great walking tracks to town and Botanic gardens . Comfortable accommodation even though a bit tight with a queen bed and a single ...could have had the single taken out and given us more space but there was no option . Nice pool area and gardens . Space for car as well which is a bonus . All in all a good stay .
