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.

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.
