“Best value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

The rooms are fully self contained with cooking facilities. Clean tidy and quiet. The manager, Sharon, is a treasure, and make this a great place to stay.

Room Tip: Talk to Sharon she will advise the best rooms. The higher floors are a lot hotter during the dry se...

On Behalf of Sharon we thank you for your positive thoughts towards our Motel.
As you say the cooking facilities in the rooms do make them attractive when staying for a long period.
Once again thank you.

“Excellent Value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We spent 2 nights at the White Gum Motel while we visited Alice Springs.
We were made very welcome by the owner Steve. The room was very clean and we were pleasantly surprised by the recent renovations as we have stayed there previously. The summer special price of $65 per night for a couple was an added bonus and excellent value for money. We have stayed in a few other hotels in Alice Springs on the way through while travelling, but this is the one I would recommend to stay at. It is also within walking distance of the Memo club for a great meal. Thanks again Steve and we hope to see you sometime in the future.

Room Tip: We stayed in room 4 which is cooler than the sunny south side

Hi,

Thank you for the excellant report on the White Gum Motel.
The special rate that we have on offer over the summer months is surely a winner.
It is good value and as you say the position of our venue is close to the Mall and other shops in town.
We look forward to welcoming you back when you are next passing through.

“2nd home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

Have stayed here many times, Sharon and her staff are always friendly and keen to help. I have had work crews comming and going and nothing is ever too much trouble for them when we have needed to change arrangements. All my crews have spoken highly of Sharon, we have had some difficult working arrangements and it is great to know that our accomodation is not a hassle. The pool & BBQ area looks inviting and is a great place to relax at the end of the day.
