Find Petermann Motels

This hotel boasts an excellent location, right next to the visitor center, surrounded by numerous restaurants and a supermarket. The resort shuttle for Desert Sails is just a 5-minute walk away. The only downsides were the lack of hot water for showering and the absence of an elevator to the second floor in some rooms.

The room was clean and comfortable, and a kitchen was available. No housekeeping was done during the stay. The living room had two sofa beds that could be unfolded. It was just a few minutes' walk from the town center, and convenient to supermarkets and restaurants. Aside from having to go to the neighboring hotel for swimming, everything else was good.

I was so lucky to check into the hotel and meet Ms. Nie, the only Chinese-speaking staff member at the front desk. She patiently explained the hotel facilities to me. That evening, I was unsure about coming to the front desk because I was attending a Chinese stargazing event, but with her help, I confirmed the pick-up location. The next day, I went to the front desk again because I hadn't successfully booked the 'Field of Stars' exhibition. She patiently listened to me and then helped me contact the relevant company. After several negotiations, she finally helped me resolve the issue. Honestly, my English isn't great, and if it weren't for her, I really don't know what I would have done. But she just said, 'It's my job, no need to be polite.' Additionally, there was a small background light in my room that I couldn't turn off. I contacted the front desk staff the next day, and they immediately came to fix it for me. So, I want to say their service is excellent. The hotel is very affordable. For a simple meal, we ordered pizza, fries, and beer. It was delicious. The next day, we went to another hotel, and the food really wasn't as good as theirs. We ate in a temporary shed set up outdoors. In the evening, there was also a singing performance, which was very lively. There's also a BBQ area where you buy your food and grill it yourself. Everyone grilling their own meat with music playing was very lively. Although the exterior of the hotel rooms is quite ordinary, the interior facilities are not old, and it feels very cozy to stay in, with no strange odors. The two single beds in the standard room are very large, making it comfortable to sleep alone. The hotel breakfast is $49 per person, with a good variety of fruits, yogurt, bread, and fried eggs. I genuinely feel that such a breakfast in Australia is quite good. We stayed for two nights, and the room was tidied very cleanly when we returned. Each room has its own air conditioning, so you can turn it on when you go out for stargazing at night and come back to a warm room. The hotel also has its own small observation deck, which is said to be the closest to Uluru in the resort. It's only a 5-minute walk from the room door. Overall, I feel this hotel offers good value for money.

I really have to commend the service at this hotel. It's not just the 24-hour front desk that's always ready to help. When you check in, they meticulously explain all the hotel facilities, shuttle bus information, and even double-check your flight details to ensure you get to the airport smoothly. Here's the best part: when I missed the free shuttle to the airport and only had an hour left before my flight, the hotel front desk offered to drive us to the airport in their own car, free of charge! As a result, we arrived at the airport and boarded our flight without any issues.

I was very satisfied with the spacious room and clean shower. It was a bit of a struggle carrying my luggage up to the second floor via the stairs, as I couldn't find the elevator. However, I'm guessing being on the second floor might mean fewer bugs.

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 .

The free airport shuttle drops you right at the hostel entrance. The staff gives you a map and your key. It’s a big room with lots of bunk beds, really takes you back to college dorm days! The beds come with disposable sheets and a bath towel. The communal bathrooms and toilets are in the central area. There are lockers available, but you need to bring your own padlock. At night, you can step outside and see a sky full of stars. I stayed on May 30, 2026. The daytime was hot, and the nights were cool, but not cold. The hot water tap at the sink was quite cold at night, but a bit lukewarm in the morning.
