Best Petermann Hotels

"Great place for an authentic outback experience. Well done to the team for offering very reasonable pricing on food and drinks. The common facilities were well maintained and in good condition. Our main concerns were the lack of an emergency contact number and the air conditioning in Cabins 24 and 25, which was not functioning effectively at the start of summer. Initially, we assumed this was due to daytime heat; however, the cabins never cooled properly, even later in the day. If the issue was related to the cabin location, providing pedestal or portable fans would have helped. What was confusing is that the same air-conditioning units installed across the resort appeared to work well in other areas, such as the toilets near the bar. Overall, it’s a great property, but addressing these issues would significantly improve guest comfort ."

"There's a Uluru lookout point right inside the backpacker hostel. It's a lot further than getting into the park itself, but it's perfectly fine for a day when you're not using tours or buses. The showers and toilets have a lot of bugs, which is typical for the area. I was traveling alone, so I didn't have any issues, but if I were with my parents, I'd probably opt for a higher-ranked hotel. They offer free tea and coffee, and even though it was my first time in a 20-person dorm, it was totally manageable! There were also a lot of Japanese guests."

"There's a breakfast buffet, a swimming pool, and a BBQ buffet inside. Parking is conveniently located right next to the rooms, which is great. However, we initially had a hard time finding our room and circled around several times before finally finding it 😅 Overall, it was a fantastic experience! Highly recommended! 👍🏻"

"A good hotel, close to the airport, shops, and parking. The room has air conditioning, a kettle, ironing board, and iron. Clean linens, plenty of towels, including for the pool. There are no insects in the room; it's comfortable. The TV works, but there are no channels because it's too far away and doesn't have a signal, but you can connect a set-top box. For a hotel in the middle of the desert, it's very nice."

"Good location and service. Cleanness needs improving, there is a big dead cockroaches under the chair for our entire stay but not been removed. Seems like they just made the bed (didn't change them, just made them) and changed the towel, that's all. The shower design is not great, and it is almost guarantees to get wet everywhere after use. Tones of insects even in the room, especially in the evening, no door open, so I'm not sure where they came in... but I guess that's deserts. It's great to have a free laundry facility, which is very helpful. Free activities were a nice touch. Surprisingly, there are no complementary bottles of water in the room when the hotel is located in the deserts, very unusual compared to all the hotels we stayed. Nice that we are allowed to use other hotels' facilities, so in general, we did enjoy our trip, and thank you for the friendly staff."

"A 5 star rated and cost hotel with nice amenities and outdoor environment. Room is very spacious and faces the garden.  Hotel food pricing expensive and not worth the cost as there is a much better option at the Desert in the Garden hotel under same group.  Also staff service could do with more friendly smiles and welcoming attitudes.  Not sure if they are part timers or working holidays staff since some show their inexperience in service.  Other areas for improvement are insufficient signage of directions in such huge resort hotel, no room number on the desk phone in room, stains found on walls in bathroom and in toilet bowl (due to minerals in flushing water from the area per management explanation)."

"The elderly and children were very satisfied. The room was clean and tidy, the kitchen was well equipped with utensils and tableware, and it was close to the supermarket, where the prices were not expensive. We bought kangaroo meat and fried it, and used a kind of salty desert leaves as seasoning and decoration. Swimming, watching movies, visiting, and making handicrafts were all free. We got along well with the ants in front of the door and the lizards on the balcony."
