Emu Walk Apartments: Ayers Rock Resort

The apartment was clean, spacious and stylishly decorated. It included artwork by regional Indigenous artist Raymond Walters.

A well equipped kitchen featured all the facilities needed to self-cater.

The furniture in the spacious lounge/dining room, which included a large dining table, couch, chairs and sizeable television, proved to be practical and comfortable. This living area led to a good sized balcony.

The bedroom included a large, very comfortable bed, a small wardrobe, a storage area and a wall mounted television.

The shower water in the bathroom was continuous and hot (although there’s no bath). The Indigenous skin care range, Wibu, was a welcome addition.

The apartments are ideally located between The Desert Gardens Hotel and Sails in the Desert, and next to the resort’s Town Square. It’s only a short walk to a lookout offering impressive views over Uluru. Walk a little further and another lookout provides views of both Uluru and Kata Tjuta. It’s just a short stroll to the town’s Outback Pioneer Hotel, also accessible via the resort’s free shuttle bus.

The Wi-fi in the room was free and generally worked well.

The rooms are serviced daily, however the Go Green program allows you to opt out of having your room serviced every day and instead receive a credit towards food purchased at the resort.

While I didn’t take advantage of it, I could have joined a range of free guest activities, as is the case with all accommodation within the resort. I did, however take advantage of the free airport transfers.
