Stayed for three nights. Spacious and roomy, but disappointed that the housecleaning staff did not once come in to tidy or clean. If you want to cook, the facilities are very basic. Adequate cutlery and crockery, but no large bowls for serving/salads and no wooden spoons or large spoons for serving or cooking. The air cons had recently been upgraded... More

I spent three months living in an apartment at the Swagman's Rest and I can highly recommend this to all. John and Alan and staff are great hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The apartment was first class with all facilities needed and serviced on a regular basis. I intend to return when back in Alice Springs. Kevin Raby

We have stayed at this venue twice now, and it is excellent value for money. Safe and secure, as the gates are locked at night, the staff are pleasant and cannot do enough for you. The apartments are as advertised, clean, and well maintained, and in our case we could park immediately outside. Just 5 mins from the CBD, couldn't... More

My family and I have stayed at the Swagmans on dozens of occasions over the last thirty years. Our latest visit last week we stayed in one of the recently renovated rooms and the experience was even better. There is now a larger fridge, split system air conditioning and under bench oven. Car parking is plentiful so trailers are no... More

The upgraded apartments are great, nicely appointed with full kitchen facilities, separate bathroom with a full size bath, and separate master bedroom. The older Apartments although the same layout are a bit tired but there is plenty of room for a family to move about The pool and BBQ area is a great meeting place for a weary traveller. With...

Stayed 3 nights at the beginning of September. Thank you John for being so helpful. You let us check in early as the room hadn't been booked the previous night. You gave us helpful ideas of what attractions to see and marked them on a map. Even printed out a document for my wife. The property was clean. The room/apartment... More

From memory we were booked into apt 11. The apartment has recently been renovated and I liked the colour scheme and presentation. Overall I was impressed with my stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Swagmans Rest as good value self contained accomodation. At $145 it was much better value than a motel room elsewhere at a similar price. We... More

The service was great, we were provided with everything that we required. The grounds and rooms are clean and fully self contained. Great pool and BBQ area for the family. The staff are very friendly. Would stay here again and would recommend these apartments to anyone travelling to Alice Springs.

I have been staying at the Swagman's Rest on a regular basis for both business and pleasure. The rooms are spacious and fully self contained, which a lot of other accommodation houses are not.
