“First impressions can be misleading”

Reviewed 18 May 2013

We found the White Gum Motel to be a pleasant , clean and comfortable place to be based for our red centre experience. It was an easy walk to town. The kitchen facilities were a welcome bonus as were BBQ, outdoor eating area and pool. With two separate "two nighters" out of town we only needed three individual nights in... More

“Don't Judge a Book By Its Cover!”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

We took the Alice Wanderer from the airport to the motel. I heard another passenger chuckle when she read the sign for the motel "luxory rooms - ha". I guess from first appearances, you might question what you'll find inside. It is on a first look just a standard motel from a few decades back, but there's a lot of... More

Hi GertrudeNoelRiley, We apologize for the bed. Upon further investigation, we found that the base had a broken slat causing the mattress to sag. The previous guests had said their stay was good so we were unaware of the issue. I did mention to you that we live on site and we would have gladly moved you to another room.... More

“week in Alice”

Reviewed 11 March 2013

Made to feel very welcome by managers who helped make our stay in Alice Springs very enjoyable. The Motel was convenient to town centre and the room was spacious and comfortable. We were allowed to keep our room when we had two days, one night at Yulara.

“Was average stay, ants proved problem”

Reviewed 17 February 2013

A motel in the middle of Alice Springs at a very reasonable price. It had high ratings on trip advisor, but I am not quite sure why as I would have placed it as average. Proprietor was friendly, aware of ant problems (ants were everywhere in the room, got stung several times). A good spraying by me helped cut them... More

Hi RJBrace, Thank you for taking time to do a review. Everyone has a different opinion. You may like us as average; many others rate us above that. It is all perception of the individual. We are an older motel and that is why we have a very reasonable price. But we also take the time in ensuring guests are... More

“Nice place to stay”

Our room was spacious and clean, staff was very helpful, we have used the BBQ stand which was lovely. Good location walking distance to Todd Mall and other shops. There is also a little pool and laundry facilities.

Hi MyskaMiska, or should I say (Ahoj), Glad you enjoyed your stay here and also the free BBQ. That is a big hit with many travelers and groups as it is such a nice little area to sit and enjoy your meals near the pool and to be outdoors. Hope you had a good flight back to Slovakia and thank... More
