Margaret and Alf are a lovely couple who have been hosting guests in their B & B for several years. They are very friendly and we loved their hospitality. The breakfasts with several menu options, were cooked to order and delicious. We stayed in the private villa which offers its own entrance around the side of the house through the back garden and pool area. The villa includes a comfortable queen bed, (plus a single bed which we did not use), fully equipped kitchen, and living room in an open floor plan, plus a private bathroom. We also took advantage of the clothes washing machine and outside clothes lines. (Clothes dry fast in the Australian sun.) Would definitely stay here again!

If you are looking for the most fabulous stay in Alice Springs, look no further than A Good Rest BNB. Apart from being an outstanding property, you secure the most outstanding of hosts. From my initial contact with Margaret, I was blown away by her supportive generosity and her flexibility with our travel plans. Margaret was at the front path to meet us. She had prepared an excellent meal which was just the start of many shared meals and stimulating conversations together with both her and her best support act, Alf. Both Margaret and Alf went out of their way to make our stay in Alice so happy and safe. Our accomodation in the villa was a 5 star experience. Everything was beautifully appointed.with high quality bedding , furnishings etc. Everything is spotlessly maintained. There were too many thoughtful kindnesses to list. But if you are looking for excellent accomodation in Alice Springs, hosted by two good humans …look no further. Thank you sincerely Margaret and Alf for such a memorable stay.…

My wife and I had around a 3-days’ tour in the area of Uluru a 2-nights’ and a 1-night’s stay in Margaret and Alf’s A Good Rest B&B. A B&B? You can just as well call it a Villa&Breakfast! And when returning after 3-days Uluru, we could even have a good dinner, served in Margaret’s and Alf’s house with some tasty glasses of wine! What a wonderful stay with such nice people. . Margaret and Alf definitely go the extra mile!

Marg and Alf were wonderful hosts who picked us up from town and took us to get our dinner! Their house was immaculate, the beds comfortable and the breakfast was full of choice and more than we could eat! They also gave us some good tips for our trip up to Darwin. Walked round the corner to school off the air, then the dice us to pick up our hire car! Highly recommend

I stayed at "A Good Rest B&B" in Alice Spring and the hosts Margaret and Alf were a very warm and welcoming couple who could not do enough for their guests. They helped me out in a particular difficult situation as I had booked the wrong dates. Fortunately however they managed to accommodate me. I was extremely comfortable and the B&B felt like a home away from home. The place was extremely clean and breakfasts delicious and plentiful. In the evenings I enjoyed a drink with Margaret and Alf and felt part of the family. I strongly recommend this place to anyone visiting Australia's Great Centre.

The Two Stars in Alice are the hosts Margaret & Alf . Clean, comfortable and Private are the rooms . The breakfast is amazing, the hosts are personally getting the breakfast prepared for all the guests and with a smile . Genuine hospitality . Alf is a wonderful story teller - ask him about his “ Cyclone Tracy “ experience. They shared their nice bottle of Red wine, fed us and other guests pizzas and most of all we felt like home . We were also invited to baby sit their residence when they go on holidays. Margaret & Alf - your blood should be bottled . Great times wonderful memories.

A lovely, homely place to stay. The perfect place to rest and recuperate in the warm, dry climate. Margaret and Alf are great hosts who go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. They love a wine and a chat. I felt like I was staying with old friends. Their dogs are gorgeous and always up for a pat or scratch (or cuddle if you’re lucky). My mum and I stayed in the villa. It was perfectly clean and had all the amenities needed. Hopefully I’ll be back soon with my hubby.

Margaret and Alf were an absolute oasis on a very challenging holiday. The accommodation was immaculate, service: warm and welcoming, pool: cool and clear, breakfast to die for 😍 They made us feel like we belonged, our desert home away from home. And they extended that kind, country welcome to the fur baby of the family too ❤ We cannot thank you enough, Alf and Margaret for going above and beyond any expectations 🙏🙏🙏 May you have the most wonderful guests and a fabulous rest of 22!! You deserve it!
