About our home
A 2 storey, 2 bedroom home in the centre of Australia. Amongst the trees and birds, there are views of the desert ranges and the home is a stone throw from the river (dry desert river unless it rains upstream). A community of units make this a secure place to stay. We have a small enclosed patio out the back and the front is open space to run around and is shared - though the neighbours are all very quiet so you'll generally have the run of it. We have a barbecue and outdoor dining set out the front under the tree canopy.
The house has 2 queen beds.
There is ample secure parking.
Some well established restaurants, bars and their swimming pools are within walking distance, as is the local casino and corner store. Town, all other shops, Tourism/Visitors Centre, art galleries, more cafes and restaurants and a winter Sunday markets, are a 4km stroll away along the tree-lined river.
Alice Springs is the closest town to the internationally renowned Uluru/Ayers Rock - which is a relatively close (in Aussie terms) 500km away. Alice Springs is a great base to explore the wider region - the MacDonnell Ranges are at your door step along with the Larapinta Trail for hiking, go gem fossicking 2 hours north, explore recent colonial history, experience local Aboriginal culture, and swim in a number of outback waterholes.
Alice is an "outback" town where you'll find all kinds of characters, interesting sites and things to do. It is geared for tourism and adventure, but in a low-key, typically Aussie, friendly manner.
We can arrange a cleaner if you would like.
