“A great B & B with lots of local knowledge”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

Kathy gave us great local advice. The room was as comfortable any in 40 days of travelling in Australia.. It was one of the few (only) places that we stayed that had the tools available to completely open up my newly trashed wheeled luggage and re rivet it so that it made it back to Canada via Melbourne,Tasmania, Sydney, the Indaian Pacific and Hong Kong.
Kathy will happily arrange to pick you up but a a car and satellite navigation system makes getting around much quicker.
They"ll take good care of you.

Room Tip: Alice Springs apparently has a number of issues with swarming insects. Kathy's place was NOT in...

“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2011

Kathy went out of her way to help me when other accommodation was not up to scratch. I was even collected at 9pm at night and driven back to town the next day.
I was made to feel very welcome in a lovely clean, homely setting. Wonderful cooked breakfasts to help me on my way each morning too. Thanks Kathy for a great stay. 100% recommend when you are staying in Alice Springs.

“A nice homely stay, and great service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2011

We are a family from Namibia and spent two nights in Alice Springs during May 2011. We arrived in Alice Spring after sleeping in a camper for more than a week - so were due for a clean up and a good feed. Kathy and Karl were marvelous hosts - very helpful with travel tips (clearly have lots of local knowlege of what to do in the area). One evening Kathy took us to see the Agile Wallabies come down to feed in a local park - lovely experience that thrilled our daughter. We would highly recommend Kathy's Place for families.

“What a joke!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2011

person found this review helpful

Sleeping in a "junk room" is not my idea of a good B&B. We were put in the games room which consisted of several uncomfortable beds, a pool table, a dusty unused bar and heaps of dusty knick knacks that were stored in the room. We picked Kathy's Place because it was dog friendly but was made to feel uncomfortable even thou we ensured our dogs mess was cleaned up. This was the biggest rip off Nd have since found a self contained unit which is real dog friendly!

We are sorry that the Family room was not as you would have liked. The Room was offered as we are no longer a pet friendly, but as we were the only place in the town area to offer to accommadate their pets, we offered our accommodaton as this room opens to the back garden where the dogs were sleeping. Health regulations prevent pets to be in the bedroom areas as mentioned to guests. Beds all inner spring and all with feather/down doonas.
We regret that this was not to your liking and will take your advise on board.
