This was an outstanding resort experience at every level! From the moment you arrive, the warmth and service orientation by all the staff of the resort is felt. The lodge is a beautiful huge tent with great views of Ayres Rock. Food is exceptional at every meal. Menus tailored to personal tastes and food preferences, are outstanding, and even have your name on the menu! Wines and spirits are premium selections, and the generous open bar will satisfy any taste that you may have, The guided walks accompanied by cocktails, wines and canapes are excellent. Guides are knowledgeable and fun to be around! The luxury tent (#12) had an unobstructed view of Ayres Rock! Well appointed with all the amenities you need. We loved the unique swag surprise after Table 131, and were disappointed that it was only prepared on 1 night of our stay. Table 131 dinner experience is a highlight, not to be missed! The field of lights was a little disappointing, but is an interesting artistic concept. The night sky is exceptional, even though the new moon diluted the stars some. The "spa" is more treatment rooms than a spa experience, although the therapists were good and the treatment enjoyable. If you're planning a trip to Ayres Rock, and are looking for a true 5 star experience, look no further. Here the beauty, culture and service all blend into a "no worries" experience!

Longitude is a very nice facility. Public space is inviting and "tent" rooms are exactly what they should be for an upscale "camp". The hotel is designed for its guests always being on the go on tours to Ayers Rock and is prepared for guests to come back happy, but exhausted from summer heat( 100 degrees Fahrenheit ) with cold wash clothes and cold drinks. Facility is all inclusive. Overpriced - but there really is no competition!

Met at airport by personable representative of Longitude 131 who helped with luggage and drove us to the hotel. Check In process was very casual and my wife mentioned just in passing that we didn’t get to eat lunch and shortly a fantastic charcuterie tray and drinks appeared while we were still “checking in”. After we ate and enjoyed our drinks, we were taken to our room/cabin/tent.
Our room was awesome! Stylish, comfortable and had panoramic view of Uluru. There was a large lounge bed on the balcony where you could sleep outside. The “rooms” are spread out enough that you forget there are other rooms/cabins. Bathroom was perfectly sized; water pressure, temp was great.
All meals , service , cocktails were excellent.
Because it rained heavily all day and night the entire time were there, we didn’t get to really take advantage of any of the experiences and amenities which was disappointing. But the hotel team took us to the Rock to see the hundreds of waterfalls flowing off because of the heavy rain.
The entire place is absolutely outstanding and the staff/team were stellar, food was excellent. Finally, I was surprised they knew it was my birthday but during my breakfast they brought a Happy Birthday plate. A great way to start the day!
We highly recommend Longitude 131

Perfect place to spend a few days in Uluru. Luxury at Longitude 131 is matched only by the beauty of its surroundings.
An amazing experience from start to finish. While some establishments offer superficial luxury as a tagline to attract customers, Longitude 131 delivers a true crafted and elegant stay without that ‘if it’s expensive it has to be good’ attitude.
Truly magnificent in every aspect.
The good:
• Where to begin… Longitude 131 allows you to visit Uluru (a somewhat harsh environment in terms of heat and terrain) in total luxury. • Amazing food and top shelf bar – all inclusive. • Impeccable staff. They’ll tend to your every need without being oversolicitous. • Hotel is clean and impeccable with modern amenities without being a distraction to its surroundings. • Outdoor dinner under the clearest sky you might ever experience, with great food and drink. • An amazing way to see the outback. Hotel is part of nature as opposed to squatting on it. • Hotel plans daily activities for you, and reviews them with you upon arrival. • Just about everything else.
The bad:
• None.
Advice:
• There is more to do in Uluru than just stare at the ‘rock’. • Rooms have different views of the rock, so ask the hotel at time of booking. • Do a helicopter tour. Not terribly expensive, modern helicopters with amazing things to see from the air (not just Uluru). • Wear sunscreen and hydrate! Everything you need is provided by the hotel (head nets for bugs, sunscreen, water…). Flies can be a nuisance when out but they don’t bite and their numbers vary (some days no flies). • You are out in the wild, and may see camels and other wild animals. • Activities other than those included are available (helicopter, private tour…). • Not a cheap experience, but quality comes at a price. This is a truly unique thing to do.

Dear Christopher, We appreciate you taking the time to provide such a positive feedback about your recent stay at Longitude 131. We are grateful to hear that you had an unforgettable experience with us and that our lodge and stunning surroundings exceeded your expectations. We take great pride in providing a well refined and exquisite experience, and we are happy that our all-inclusive food and beverage selections, staff, and contemporary amenities helped make lifetime memories including table 131. There’s nothing quite like fine dining underneath the outback sky! I appreciate you giving prospective visitors advise, especially the instruction to wear sunscreen and hydrate. And we agree, there is nothing quite like a heli ride over the Red Centre to experience the breathtaking scenery from above. We value your opinions and look forwards to having you visit Longitude 131 again soon. Best Regards Team Longitude

Stayed in May for 2 nights at this incredible place. Cannot recommend highly enough as the whole experience was just out of this world. The staff go far above and beyond in the service they provide and nothing is too much trouble. The Dune House is central for meeting up, gorgeous meals, extensive drink selection and staff to help with absolutely anything. I had a dietary requirement and I only had to mention it once when I arrived, and everything was catered for me, without a mention or a second thought. The staff that transport you to and from the accommodation are so kind and friendly, and those who lead the tours, walks and talks, are so knowledgeable and respectful to the aboriginal culture, it was a pleasure to be part of the experience. Table 131 is an absolute treat and I loved that the menu was shown to us beforehand, in case we needed to ask for anything different. Surrounding the campfire, and catering to the dropping temperatures we wouldn't have had one thing different. Our room had everything we could need, including lots of lovely extra touches, such as pillow gifts at night, filtered water, fly nets, and a backpack to use. I would love to visit again, and see some more of the sights, and spend a little more time actually at Uluru. The experiences on offer are perfect, and cater to all levels of fitness and interest. Thank you Ben and your team, for making our bucket list trip, even more special.

Given the price, I had high expectations of Longitude 131, and I'm delighted to say they were more than met. This was my fourth visit to the red centre, and it's a great way to experience this very special part of the world.
I loved my tent with its wonderful view of Uluru and its comfy bed, and I appreciated the well stocked fridge and the snacks. The food was great, and it was lovely to have my likes and dislikes accounted for. The service at the lodge is lovely, and the guides are also terrific.
I particularly appreciated the way the guides planned excursions to avoid the crowds arriving on the big buses from Yulara - one of the reasons for spending the large chunk of money it costs to stay here is to enjoy Uluru and its surroundings in peace and quiet with much smaller groups of people.
Two pieces of feedback: first, I didn't hear any warnings from the guides about the need for a hat/a fly net/sunscreen/adequate water, all of which are essential and should be given on arrival.
Second, I was disappointed at the absence of input from indigenous people at Longitude 131: I would love to have heard the Aboriginal stories of the night sky, for example, which I've been told by indigenous guides on previous trips to the region. I'm aware that only basic versions of the creation stories can be told to visitors, but it was a shame that they were told by white guides, not by local people.
Those two thoughts notwithstanding, I had a wonderful two days at Longitude 131, and loved all the thoughtful touches from the timing of excursions and the way staff knew all the guests' names to the packed lunch for my departing flight. I'll be coming back!

This resort is so perfect in every way but for us what made it so special is that from any part of the resort "the Rock" is always within view and given the effort required to get there I'm so glad that we could watch and enjoy this ancient monolith at anytime of day!! The staff are incredible, so accomodating and friendly. The "tents" areas lovely with every comfort considered and provided . We can highly recommend all the included activities as well as the Grand View Sunset Helicopter flight. We originally booked the 4 night Classic Platinum Package but when Jetstar completely stuffed up our arrival date we had to reduce our stay to 3 nights. I think 4 nights would have been ideal as the 3 night stay didn't allow for much down time.

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us at Longitude 131. The strong, resilient presence of Uluru is indeed with guests throughout their stay - even from the tent's ensuite shower, thanks to a clever sliding mirror! Our team are personally invested in ensuring an unforgettable experience for each and every guest - we're so pleased you enjoyed their warm and genuine hospitality. It's wonderful to hear you enjoyed our signature guided experiences and complimented them with a scenic heli trip. Taking in the natural icons of Uluru and Kata Tjuta from above is a wonderful contrast once you've explored them on foot - the bird's eye view of the vast outback frontier is nothing short of extraordinary. We hope to welcome you back to the Baillie Lodges collection sometime soon. For now, palya and safe travels, Team Longitude

We loved it! We were celebrating some occasions. The location is gorgeous and you'll stay at a homey boutique lodge. The luxury tents were great. Housekeeping was A+. The food and drinks were marvelous and inspired - also so much! The staff were lovely bolstered by some new and enthusiastic members. The itinerary was jam packed with really intriguing and educational tours. The experiences and added surprises did not go missed. I also went to the spa and had such a relaxing experience I was falling asleep - lol. It was an end to end experience, from airport transfers to an all inclusive stay with activities in the outback so we thought it was value for money. Still thinking about the amazing time we had with a smile on my face. Wish we could have stayed longer! I'd recommend it and have already recommended to friends and family.

We had high expectations of our stay & these were exceeded! as a group of 3 we stayed in the Dune Pavilion which was incredible. We stayed for 4 nights & were able to do everything we wanted, we even had a morning ‘at leisure’ & enjoyed massages in the spa which were great. if you can manage it i would suggest stay at least 3 nights, other guests staying 2 nights had a very packed agenda. From arrival at the airport through to our evening departure the staff were amazing ! everyone was friendly & helpful, we enjoyed getting to know them. The meals & wines were delicious, as a vegetarian i was very well catered for. The tours were well organised & the guides very informative. We had thunderstorms during our stay, but still managed to enjoy a slightly chilly dinner under the stars (sadly no star gazing as too cloudy but heaters & fleece ponchos were provided) & we also had a windy dinner on the dune top! We all wonder how we can ever top this experience! thank you all

Amazing from start to finish with an incredible unique landscape. Lovely professional staff who know guests by name, experienced and entertaining guides, phenomenal chefs who turned out dish after dish of delicious foods blending Australian ingredients with a modern twist, private “tents” with a view and a day spa. Definitely an oasis to experience! Would love to visit again someday. Thank you.
