"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

Desert Palms Alice Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Elkira Court Motel

8/10 Good

"A good value budget hotel in Alice Springs with secure parking. Management extremely helpful, nothing negative to say about it. Of course you can pay a lot more for the Hilton or Mercure but this hotel is totally adequate and is not as noisy (hoons at night) as the Diplomat Hotel where we have stayed previously. No restaurant open but plenty of options within walking distance."
