Marg and Alf were most hospitable hosts in their spotlessly clean and accommodating establishment. The B and B lives up to all its reviews. We stayed in the house on our first night and in the Villa our second night. The Villa is first class and worth the rate. We were a little taken a back at the rate for... More

A nice place to stay, not that far away from the center of Alice Springs (about 30-40 min walk). The property has amazing amenities in and outside (nice looking pool, spa and bathroom). But most striking was the friendliness and helpfulness of the hosts. They seem to know the area really well, and were giving me some great recommendations. In... More

We spent 3 nights in Alice and had a truly good rest! The villa is a very big room with a little kitchenette, a sitting area, a queen and single bed. It has a separate laundry room and a bathroom. Plenty of space for our family of 3. Margaret keeps everything spotlessly clean! The outdoor area is a little paradise... More

What a wonderful B&B! Convenient to drive to, easy to find, comfortable, extremely clean and so well appointed - bathroom is very decadent. And it is dog friendly. Hosts Margaret and Alf are awesome people and great hosts. They go out of their way to make sure your stay is exactly what you want. Can't recommend highly enough. Great as... More

I stayed here for a couple of nights before and after a trip to Uluru. Margaret and Alf looked after me tremendously well and I thoroughly enjoyed being smothered with care. They wouldn't let me take a taxi, drove me into the town, provided me with lunch and gave me wine, breakfast was whatever I wanted and I couldn't think... More

Margaret and Alf were the most congenial hosts and made our stay in Alice Springs a relaxing experience. My dog was welcomed in such a way that he had no qualms staying behind while we explored Alice Springs. He in fact was pampered more than we were - which of course was my priority anyway. There were even walks across... More

This was a great place to pause on a long, purposeful journey from Darwin to Melbourne. The dog was welcomed - and behaved impeccably of course, not minding in the least being left behind while we explored because he was being so utterly pampered by both of our hosts. The self-contained apartment we shared was splendid. I've been in a... More

Thank you to Margaret and Alf for your wonderful hospitality. My two teenage daughters and I stayed in the Villa for five nights. I was working and I wanted somewhere that was secure - it was certainly that and more. Margaret and Alf were very welcoming and we spent a couple of nights by the pool with the odd glass... More

We were greeted warmly by Margaret and Alf even though we were absolutely covered with dirt from visiting the local bat caves, they even washed our clothes now you can't get better hosts than that. Margaret had actually gone out of her way to arrange the tour with friends on our behalf. They have a beautiful home, our room was... More
