Lovely people, lovely place and lovely hotel
Longitude 131 Lodge situated atop a sand dune in Uluru-Kata-Tjuta is perfectly located to enjoy the splendour of both Ayers Rock and The Olgas. The 'tents' are the epitome of comfort, with a fabulous view of Ayers Rock. You practically wake up in the morning starring at the Red Rock. At night you can snuggle in warmed up beds outside gazing at the amazing milky way sipping cognac and sleep under the stars should you wish to.This is romantic glamping at its best. On top of all this, the service is attentive and impeccable. Food is outstanding, done with fresh produce and excellently presented. The chef did his pan roasted baby Baramundi with macadamia nuts and leek ash. Need I say more. Perfect vacation.
It's with mixed feelings that I write this review. We booked Longitude 131 expecting to have similar experiences we had in other luxury lodges. Our arrival was impeccable. However, as time goes by one starts noticing small problems and lack of attention to details. A nice surprise when going back to your tent? Not every night. A unique departure gift? Nope. Willingness to make your stay special? Sometimes. Our departure from Longitude 131 was a disaster. Nobody asked us for feedback personally. It was a hostile "good bye". I felt I had done something wrong. Our return flight was delayed by 2.5 hours, which made us miss a connection but they didn't care much, more interested in having us out of the hotel than helping. Had to do everything ourselves. The rooms are great and the views absolutely stunning. It is a shame they fail to deliver some of "small things" you expect at this price range. The food is good but Breakfast *really* needs improvement. The tours are quite nice, the guides tell the stories with enthusiasm. Just be prepared to wake up early. It's a very good lodge by all means, but it's a bit inconsistent in delivering exceptional service all the time, and may disappoint on some occasions. Do I recommend? Yes if you have money to do a trip like this every now and then and you want to come to Urulu. However, if you have to choose just one luxury lodge in Australia for a special occasion, this is not the one.
Excellent location with great value for visiting Uluru
It is a world class facility in one of the world's unique destinations. The staff are obliging and considerate. The "tents" are conformable and nothing like actual tents. The dinner under the stars was excellent and the fleece ponchos and hot water bottles that kept us warm a nice touch. The guides are very knowledgeable. A bucket list destination.
