Little home in the Red Centre

KeratamRating, 5 stars3 days ago

Great host and great place. Good value for money, very responsive and we were looked after. I love the work they put in to create this space. The decor, colour scheme, smells (kitchen and towels), taste (coffee).. Thank you for creating and providing this great space for travellers. :) It was a pleasure.

Highly recommended, we had everything we needed and it was beautiful and peaceful. The additional touches of providing some essentials such as bread, milk, eggs etc was incredibly thoughtful and very much appreciated. Thank you, we will be back again 😊

A haven in the desert!

WilliamRating, 5 stars4 days ago

This is a great little sanctuary in Alice Springs. Alice is a "real" place, not just a tourist destination, and as such one needs to be aware of one's surroundings. The security of private entrances, locked gates, and locked private parking make all the difference here. Laura and Donna provide excellent instructions, generous hospitality, and very responsive hosting, all of which make this a fine value in the Alice Springs market. We'd stay again.

Modern & private studio apartment in quiet street

MitchellRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Simon’s AirBnB was the perfect place to reset and refresh after a long road trip to Alice for Parrtjima. The space is very comfortable, the shower was hot with good pressure, and the washing machine was very welcome after days of camping and living out of our 4x4. Strongly recommended.

Red Desert Views

MichaelRating, 5 stars6 months ago

We had a very enjoyable & relaxing 10 day stay, which was a perfect match for my friend's healing during her cancer journey. The house is stylish, well equipped, with excellent views- a great veranda to take in the amazing landscape. Very enjoyable with a glass of wine/bubblies. Ideal for bird lovers, as there are plenty of Wrens, Finches and parrots calling the property home. Good star gazing on a clear night, very quiet and serene, great sunrise as well. Large comfortable bed with great views, perfect with soothing music... Highly recommendable place to unwind, relax and invigorate in a beautiful, peaceful setting.

Cosy townhouse with magnificent scenery's

CaelumRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

My partner and I stayed for a couple of weeks. The place was very clean and comfortable and the location was perfect for us, being a little out of town and right on the doorstep of some lovely walking tracks. Lucinda was a great host, checking in regularly and accommodating any queries that we had. Would recommend to anyone wanting a pet friendly, comfortable place to stay, in a quiet location just a short drive from town.

CassidyRating, 5 stars1 day ago

The perfect place to stay in Alice! Lynne’s place is a beautiful oasis. The outdoor area is so lovely, and the cabin itself is just gorgeous. All the extra touches to make it feel like home and beautifully decorated. Lynne was a lovely host and we enjoyed chatting to her. Would definitely stay again!

Alice by the River

LawrenceRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Nice place, great pool. Very nice being so close to a park and a little market and easy to access Stuart Hiway, but in a quiet neighborhood with lots of birds to watch. Only problem was that one A/C unit did not work and was not replaced during our stay, but he refunded me partial fee, so no qualms.

"Ilparpa Retreat" 3 Bedroom Guesthouse with Pool

TysonRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We had an incredible stay at Sophie’s Airbnb in Ilparpa, which offered a beautifully designed space that ensured both comfort and privacy. The stunning views provided a picturesque backdrop to our experience, making it truly memorable. Conveniently located just 5 minutes from the heart of Alice Springs, we found easy access to local shops and restaurants. A delightful bonus was the warm welcome from their furry friends, River and Lilly, who were incredibly friendly and added a special touch to our stay. I highly recommend this accommodation to anyone exploring Alice Springs as well as the West and East MacDonnell Ranges. It’s the perfect retreat for both relaxation and adventure.

The Little House

CarolineRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Antje's little house was just what we needed after a long day of driving from Uluru. It's located in a quiet neighbourhood, and the bathroom and kitchen had everything we needed. She was helpful with local supermarket's trading hours (as we arrived on Jan. 1st) as we were driving in to city, and we were able to cook with no fuss with the kitchen equipment provided. The house was just the right size for the two of us to relax and unwind. Will definitely be back again when we have the chance to visit Alice Springs!

Apartment with stunning backdrop

MargaretRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This 2nd storey apartment had everything we needed for a 'Home away from home' feel. The attention to detail with all of the inclusions in the apartment, including information on local attractions, a coffee machine, BBQ tools, pool towels and other pleasant surprises was fantastic. The host was very responsive all through the process and was pleased to receive our feedback on clearer location instructions for future guests. Directions for entry to the apartment were very clear and the pool was a welcome addition for the local climate. Excellent value for money and the location a little away from the town centre suited our preference as we had a car for transport. Very highly recommended and we would be pleased to return.

An outdoor bathroom features wooden slats for privacy, complemented by a round mirror above a sleek sink. A neutral towel is displayed on the wall, and a small plant adds a touch of greenery. The wooden flooring invites a natural feel.

The Studio

NicolasRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This place is an absolute hidden gem. Lovely space, very stylishly decorated and a yoga mat (thank you Mel). The property backs on to wonderful bushlands. Well worth a climb up the hill to meet Kangaroos, birds and get sweeping views of Alice and surroundings. Highly recommend. Thank you guys for a great stay!
