Wec have just returned from a marvellous trip to the centre of Australia. The Vatu Sanctuary was luxurious and comfortable with everything there that we could have wished for, nothing had been overlooked to make our visit a beautiful treat. We were escorted around the area for four days by Bill from Sandrifter Safaris a first class service that we thoroughly recommend

A trip to remember

After a harrowing few months of being displaced due to an unfortunate flooding incident and having to stay at some questionable expensive accommodation, this place was an oasis in every sense of the word.  The only apartment available for an extended period of time was the one bedroom "Bure" apartment and if I had my pick again of all four, this is the one I would choose.  Accommodated all of our needs and more.  From the Foxtel, dvd player to the laundry facilities and welcome wine and cheese (the good stuff too), I could not have been more thrilled after what we have been through.  Once behind the secure gates, you almost feel like you are in an exotic location anywhere else in the world.

The hosts were so friendly and helpful and really have thought of everything (they are lucky they they didn't find me chained to the gazebo on check out day).  The structure itself is a little worn for example the gazebo from a safety point of view but aesthetically it didn't matter and all added to the charm.  I cannot say enough about this inspiring place, has to be experienced to be believed and I hope I have a reason to stay again one day.

Best Alice has to Offer . . . . Can I live here please?

We were upgraded to the Pond House, and it was the most delightful experience. Colin greeted us warmly, and we were supplied with a bottle of excellent wine, cheese, crackers, dips etc.  The whole house is extremely well equipped, from the laundry to the garden, and the heating was superpowerful. There’s also the small luxury of olive oil, balsamic, coffee etc. The outdoor areas are lovely, though it was a bit cold to spend much time there. The highlight of course was being surrounded by artwork! We actually chose to eat in for the pleasure of the surroundings. Vatu Sanctuary is a destination in itself!

Fabulous experience

What a jewel in the Alice.  If you are looking for a something different to your normal hotel room then this is it.  Colin greeted us on arrival showed us into our apartment then took us on a tour of the other accommodation available here.  Waiting for us on arrival was also a welcome basket with wine, different cheese, biscuits, fruit and chocolate.  Also we received a nice surprise on our return from a tour another bottle of red wine and chocolates with a note wishing us a happy new year.

The Place to Stay

I stayed in a studio which was very spacious and comfortable. It has all modern amenities. Communal areas are great! I specially liked the artwork in the rooms and outside. Overall fantastic place.

Excellent place in Alice Springs

This place is a sumptuous feast of beauty, art, comfort, style and privacy. Yet...walking distance to town. Beautiful hamper on arrival with wine, coffee, cheese , fruit, milk etc. Self-contained comfort- views to the pool, ponds, roses, paintings, books.... I just couldn't stay anywhere else in Alice without feeling cheated after staying here.

No better place to stay.

The upgraded accomodation was great.so much room.the pool was a great relief from the heat, it felt like stepping into a warm bath.we will definitely stay there again, possibly in the Studio apartment.

Pool/barbie

Well designed and tastefully decorated apartment with courtyard and outdoor entertaining area including spa. All necessary amenities including well equipped kitchen. Delightful stay. Highly recommend.

Sanctuary in the Desert

We (5 of us) stayed in Vatu Sanctuary for (VC) 3 nights starting 6/7/2016.  I was so busy enjoying myself in Ayers Rock that I have forgotten to call Colin to arranging the check-in.  Colin couldn't call me as I didn't leave him a phone number.  Colin, who has left me a e-mail that I didn't read, gracefully accepted my apologies and promptly orangised our check-in.  He even left us a fruit basket!  All of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay in VC.  The rooms were clean, aptly furnished.  The air conditioners worked perfectly, not to mention the wifi, pool, BBQ, patio etc.  What we enjoyed most is the kitchen where we have a lot of fun in preparing and cooking our dinners.  We did try our very best to return the kitchen to its original sparking condition.  Vatu Sanctuary is no doubt the best value for money accommodation we have experienced in the past 3 weeks in Australia.

Can't ask for more.

The garden is miraculous and full of roses when we visited. The Pond had three gardens from which to choose, all different, all beautiful. The fountains were particularly welcome.The kitchen was a cook's delight  with a supply of herbs, spices and olive oil as well as loose leaf tea and real coffee.Art work throughout the house ( much of it for sale) added a personal touch. Colin the manager is a gem and on hand to help with every situation.
