“Everything you need”

This hotel is not fancy but it has everything that you need. Stephen was so helpful; I was warned about not walking alone at... More

Hi ARS224, I am so glad that all the advice that I gave you on your recent visit was helpful. It is always hard when you come to a different city if you are unaware of the culture.

Older style Motel but amenities a all that you require. A fair walk from town and would not do it at night but... More

Hi Tonyh, It was great that we were able to assist you with your recent visit to the "heart of Australia" As you say we are an older style motel but with the larger than normal room size you have plenty of room to spread out.Add to this the kitchen and all goes well for a pleasant stay.

“First impressions can be misleading”

We found the White Gum Motel to be a pleasant , clean and comfortable place to be based for our red centre experience. It was an easy walk to town. The kitchen facilities were a welcome bonus as were BBQ, outdoor eating area and pool. With two separate "two nighters" out of town we only needed three individual nights in... More

“Don't Judge a Book By Its Cover!”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

We took the Alice Wanderer from the airport to the motel. I heard another passenger chuckle when she read the sign for the motel "luxory rooms - ha". I guess from first appearances, you might question what you'll find inside. It is on a first look just a standard motel from a few decades back, but there's a lot of... More

Hi GertrudeNoelRiley, We apologize for the bed. Upon further investigation, we found that the base had a broken slat causing the mattress to sag. The previous guests had said their stay was good so we were unaware of the issue. I did mention to you that we live on site and we would have gladly moved you to another room.... More

“Was average stay, ants proved problem”

A motel in the middle of Alice Springs at a very reasonable price. It had high ratings on trip advisor, but I am not quite sure why as I would have placed it as average. Proprietor was friendly, aware of ant problems (ants were everywhere in the room, got stung several times). A good spraying by me helped cut them... More

Hi RJBrace, Thank you for taking time to do a review. Everyone has a different opinion. You may like us as average; many others rate us above that. It is all perception of the individual.
