Peaceful location, love the wallabies!”
heavitree gap is an unusual place. it is sort of rustic but a good match for its setting. there is a great pool, tavern/casino and the best thing of all...the daily feeding program for the colony of rock wallabies just behind the hotel. you could buy a bag of feed for $1aud and beginning about 4:30 in the afternoon, they come down from the mountain to eat. they are quite tame, and i was actually able to feed one of them by hand. it grasped the sides of my hand with its tiny black paws and munched away, much to the delight of other guests, who captured the moment with their cameras. if you are staying in alice springs, most definitely book the heavitree...very reasonble rates and an experience you won't forget.

Clean well maintained hotel with great price.”
we originally booked in for the kitchenette room for 3 adults and a baby, but the room was a disappointment - old, not so clean, rusty shower, no real kitchenette. however, we were moved to the hotel rooms and these were a good surprise for the price. they were very clean, updated and quiet - the same utilities as the kitchenette, except for no sink. i would definitely book into one of these rooms again - definitely not the kitchenette rooms. definitely need a car, as distance is not good for walking in the heat and dangerous at night to be walking in alice spring.

Motel-type accommodation with great facilities.”
some way out of alice springs, but everything you need is here! wallabies come down in the evening to be fed. individual rooms with fridge, iron, tv, etc are cleaned every day.

Adequate facilities, but bad room service”
The Heavy Tree Gap Outback Lodge turned out to be the best value for money when we needed a room while doing some renovations to our house in Alice. The room was adequate and had all the facilities needed. However, it had a strange smell to it (maybe from previous smoking?), but the worst was that the hotel expects you to wash your own dishes in the bathroom sink. We left our dishes standing on the bathroom floor for 3 nights and the room service worked its way around them.....very strange. It's nice to watch the rock wallabies coming down to the car park at night.

Lovely hotel at a quiet location”
i spent two nights and my stay was pleasant and quiet. a fair size of room and clean. it is great great for budget travellers. the girl who was at the reception was lovely and very polite. surely i can recommend this hotel for friends. although i didn't use there is a swimming pool too. although some say it is not advisable go out in the night i did not have any problem.

Good location some distance form Alice Springs.”
free luggage storage for the 3days when we were on a tour, came back to a different room but both were well-appointed. hair dryer refused to work so we were given a key to use one in another room. very hot so we had the exclusive use of the swimming pool and loungers. used the laundry to catch up on some washing, when the dryer broke, the maintenance man came in minutes to fix it. we were also allowed an extension to our check out time at no extra cost.very friendly, helpful staff.

Nice hotel with a good price/quality relation”
we had a good stay in this hotel, friendly reception and fine clean rooms. each room has a small terrace where you can sit outside and depending on which side of the hotel you are on enjoy sunrise, sunset or the rock wallabies coming down the mountain. these lovely creatures can be spotted at dusk from nearby and even be fed with special food which can be purchased at the reception. it seems to be eco-friendly and with respect to nature. although feeding wild animals remains controversial. the location is nice and secluded, a bit out of town. you will need a car to get around. furthermore they had a nice pool, with plenty of shade, in a well kept clean and green enclosure. the pool featured a baby/toddler section which was perfect for our 1 year old to play in. she enjoyed it very much and had a great time. the only 'disadvantage' was a large group of schoolkids who stayed in the hotel and took over the pool.. the restaurant/bistro didn't look to appealing to us, so we had lunch and dinner elsewhere. supermarket around the corner with some basic supplies. i would recommend it from the experience we had here.

Great Location very Scenic”
excellent clean room, great service. amazing wake up in the morning to natures birds itself merrily singing away. the highlight is the evening when the blackfooted wallbies come down to be hand fed. highly recomend the tavern for dinner and entertainment with reptiles of australia & live music.

Great hotel. great features and amenities”
this was a great resort to stay at, a nice warm pool, large, comfortable room, well equipped, feeding the wild wallabies at night was a bonus. the only gripe i had was the free shuttle, it would drop you off downtown but not necessarily come and pick you up if you didn't reserve it to do so. we got stranded downtown one evening because of that.

Poor hotel in unattractive area. Forget it!”
Was probably the worst hotel in my holiday: very dirty and smelly room, many spots on the carpet and dirty cutlery in the kitchenette. I know that is the center of Australia and animals are everywhere, but the huge cockroaches that came out of the shower caused a sleepless night for my kids. Air conditioning system was noisy and not really efficient. Good swimming pool, fast wifi, lot of parking space. The food for the wallabies supplied by the reception desk (1$) made the day for my kids: was good to see them happy feeding and cuddling the animals there. But still, it's a place I don't want to return.

Brief and cost effective.”
This is a great old-fashioned motel and camp ground for adventurous tourists who want an unpretentious experience in a wonderful setting. The staff are a great example of why Aussie tourism is so good.

Okay hotel but location a little far from town”
Hotel was acceptable and certainly good value for the amount of money you have to pay! The place is a little out of way and you need to catch a taxi to get into town (approx. $20) Also, the blankets were really tough and thin and generally cheap. But again, you're paying so little for the night, you could easily overlook its faults.
