After receiving a multi mullion dollar refurbishment, Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia has proudly reopened the Outback Hotel and Lodge at Ayers Rock.
Previously known as the Outback Pioneer Hotel, the new-look accommodation has been given a new name after its first renovations in more than 20 years – with enhanced guest rooms, new ensuite bathrooms and a major upgrade to the swimming pool and surrounding public areas.The upgrades also include new furniture and soft furnishings – bed and bathroom linen, new carpets and curtains – which reflect the earthy tones of the Uluru landscape with warm reds, ochres and pinks.
The guest rooms at the Outback Hotel also now feature large prints from Indigenous artist Delma Forbes, based on her original artwork Ngura-Country, which is inspired by the desert landscape and its ancient landforms, bush and vibrant colours.
