We have been fortunate to have travelled to many incredible places and had opportunities to stay at unique properties. This was one of my favorites places to visit. It mixes a luxury safari like experience (albeit without the animals) with peaceful isolation. We spent 3 nights here and stayed in the 2 bedroom Dune pavilion (traveling as a family with 2 children ages 12 and 16). This is not a property where you will find many children but it was a special family experience. The dinner under the stars (with blankets and heaters and stargazing), the multi course meals at each sitting and the relaxed and peaceful environment made for a memorable trip. All activities, meals, transport to and from the airport were included. At night, they even set up the outdoor fireplace with drinks on the loungers (all drinks and snacks are included). They even provided hot water bottles in the bed at night to keep room, which was an amusing surprise. We went in winter, so our tours in the morning were chilly. We did avoid most of the flies, which I understand can be troublesome in the warmer months. They provided blankets for the gorge walk (felt like a Jedi walking through the gorge with the blankets flowing off of us). We got to enjoy sundowners while overlooking Uluru at the sunset viewpoint, providing stunning pictures. While expensive, it provides an opportunity to experience Uluru and the Outback region in a. relaxed manner and feel closer to the natural environment. It's glamping at it's finest.

“An anniversary to remember”

Was looking for something special for a significant anniversary and decided on Longitude 131. The price was a BIG number so was hoping it would live up to the hype.

Was looking for something special for a significant anniversary and decided on Longitude 131. The price was a BIG number so was hoping it would live up to the hype. I can report it does! set up is great, rooms as good as you would expect, all inclusive everything 24/7. However the biggest plus, and pleasure for us, was the consistency and excellence of the staff. Each was charmingly friendly and helpful. The guides (different one each tour) were just great. Fellow residents came from all round the globe but so do the staff. You feel like you're in some kind of United nations gathering. We were there 3 night and I would not stay less. Each day was full of great things to do but some downtime built in. Just a couple of the dishes were not perfect but overall interesting and yummy. This place is expensive as all get out, but worth it. Loved it!

Uluru is magical and Longitude 131 is a fitting place to enjoy that magic. The tents are spacious, attractive and well provisioned. Food and wine ranged from very good to excellent. Service was great. We particularly enjoyed eating under the stars and returning to our balcony which had a fire going, the day bed made up and a choice of drinks laid out. Fabulous way to end a day. We stayed for three nights and that seemed a perfect amount of time. We did all the included activities on offer and had time for extra activities like a helicopter ride and a visit to the spa.

“Best location for an upscale visit to Uluru.”

Beautiful scenery and accommodations. I applaud the lodge for its activity offerings. One is able to get a real history of the aboriginal tribe(s) that have made this site a spiritual and historical landmark. The tent was both luxurious and exotic in style and ambience.

Beautiful scenery and accommodations. I applaud the lodge for its activity offerings. One is able to get a real history of the aboriginal tribe(s) that have made this site a spiritual and historical landmark. The tent was both luxurious and exotic in style and ambience. Had I not just arrived from the sister lodge in Mossman, I would have higher praise, however I found the food and service a bit below Silky Oaks. The service staff was not as thorough, knowledgeable and attentive as those at Silky Oaks and I was expecting more site information from the staff so questions were answered mainly by the guide on our walks and sunset viewing visits. Given this, I highly recommend the lodge when visiting this sacred site. There are no big buses and crowds as with the other lodging located near the area.
