What to Expect when you arrive at Ayers Rock Resort

We’re thrilled to have you joining us on what promises to be the adventure of a lifetime. Read on to learn more about those first few moments when you arrive at Uluru and make your way to Ayers Rock Resort, as well as some helpful tips to make the most of your stay. 

At the Airport

No need to worry about how you’ll get here from Ayers Rock Airport — our free airport shuttles greet every incoming flight and will whisk you away to the resort, just a quick 15-20 minute drive away. Sit back and relax on our air conditioned coaches as you take in the scenery en route to the resort. And when it’s time to return home, you’ll once again enjoy the convenience of a complimentary shuttle service bringing you back to the airport.

Luxurious rooms and suites, spacious residential-style apartments, cosy hostels, or sleeping under the stars: our accommodation options suit all travel styles and budgets. The quirky and contemporary Lost Camel Hotel blends urban style and authentic Aboriginal touches in the heart of the resort, while Emu Walk Apartments brings all the privacy and amenities of a luxury apartment just a short walk away from the Town Square Supermarket and the Tour & Information Centre. 

In search of a more DIY stay? Put the living cultural landscape of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park within easy reach at the Ayers Rock Campground. From two-bedroom cabins and powered sites to places to pitch your own tent, this is the place to be if you’re in search of an authentic outback playground. Choose from hotel or lodge-style stays at Outback Hotel and Lodge, perfect for adventure-seekers and budget-minded travellers. 

Unwind in lavish surrounds and contemporary comfort at Sails in the Desert — our premium outback holiday experience, where the history, colour, and wisdom of the local Anangu is interwoven into every facet of the hotel’s modern design. Or wake up to views of Uluru from Desert Gardens Hotel, nestled within an oasis of native flowers and plants.

Our dining experiences bring you a delicious combination of global and local flavours, with a focus on Indigenous influences and tradition. Linger over a leisurely meal at our restaurants and buffets, like Ilkari Restaurant which serves up delicious dishes inspired by cuisines around the world. Grab your morning coffee, smoothie, or a light lunch on the go from one of the resort’s cafes, or dine and drink in a casual, comfortable atmosphere at our DIY BBQ station or the Walpa Lobby Bar.
