Just because you’re exploring the remote centre of Australia, that doesn’t mean you have to rough it.

There is no accommodation in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, but a range of nearby hotels means you can spend the day adventuring before heading back to a soft bed, air-conditioning, a hot shower and an array of guest facilities.

Most hotels are located at the Ayers Rock Resort in Yulara, which also offers shops, restaurants and numerous tours.
