Rick (10/5): - As above
Graham (8/5): - no review
Ateca (10/5): - Good excellent
kiyomi (10/5): - Stayed in delux cabin, very clean. Office staff were friendly and helpful. Best place to stay in Alice springs.
Simon (10/5): - It was good for a stop over, friendly staff. We felt relaxed there after a long drive.
Hannah (10/5): - We are locals and had a wonderful staycation swimming, sitting by the pool, enjoying the games room & jumping pillow. We’ll be back!
Melanie (10/5): - The property was very family friendly with plenty to the kids occupied, extensive grounds and a gated little community for peace of mind
Glen (10/5): - Good accomodation with friendly staff
Natalia (10/5): - Stayed here in a cabin after hiking the Larapinta Trail. Great place! Very clean, lovely heated pool, multiple laundries, TV room, games room, reading room, food van onsite, great play areas for kids. Right across the road from the Alice Springs Brewing Co for a meal.
LANCER (10/5): - Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful thank yous so much for a lovely stay me and my family got too have. Definitely recommend.
Elaine (10/5): - Free activities and Boot Scooting class was good fun
Nicole (10/5): - From the moment we walked in, we loved this property. They have an amazing lot of multiple pools, a waterslide, jumping pillow, games rooms and buggies to drive around the property. The room/ lodge we stayed in was wonderful, clean and tidy, spacious, just a home away from home. We had an absolute ball and I haven't stopped talking about this place. If only all Discovery Parks could be like this one!
Clifford (10/5): Quick Trip to the Alice - Quick visit to support my sister and family who were hiking the Larapinta Trail. We stayed here last year and were impressed with the accommodation and amenities available in the park, so it was a no brainer to stay here again.
Michelle (10/5): - This was such a fantastic place to stay. First time for me, I have family in Alice I regularly visit and we’ll be using this place to break up our trip. The only complaint I have is regarding the go karts. Each time I went to reception to ask about them for my kids, I felt like it was an inconvenience.
Fabian (10/5): A great place to stay - It one of the best places I stayed in awhile and the staff was the friendliest people
Michael (10/5): - everything was lovely and clean and the staff were friendly and helpful
Renee (8/5): - Park was awesome. So big and lots for the kids to do. Felt safe there.
Jeffrey (6/5): - Wifi is very weak. Surrounding area unable to find food. Staffs wise still not bad
Jo-anne (10/5): - We had an enjoyable time staying in the park, place was wonderful and the staff very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Definitely recommend this place to stay, hopefully one day we will come back.
john (10/5): - Clean and tidy and safe It would have been nice to have a washing machine
Bradley (8/5): - Was great place to stay, although the cabins have very thin walls which doesn’t make it warm and can hear someone cough in the next cabin. But overall great place and friendly
Jeremiah (8/5): - Just good
Andrew (10/5): - Clean, quiet, very nice staff and great facilities. Our cabin was spotless.
Verified traveler (10/5): - An excellent place to stay with everything you could need
Verified traveler (8/5): - It was all good
Verified traveler (10/5): - Great place to stay - wonderful for families and good price
Narelle (10/5): A great place for a family break - Perfect for a family! Great set up and my little boy loved it
Jeannie (10/5): - It was quite and peaceful. The place was just like home. My family enjoyed staying there.
Gwen (10/5): - Great place to stay with the family. Lots for the kids to do in the Park and the laundry is so convenient. Stayed in a 2 bedroom which was very spacious and just right for our travelling party of 3 adults and kids.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing service from all staff. My 3 year old son enjoyed the facilities at the park especially the go karts. A awesome weekend away, thank you 🤗
Verified traveler (10/5): - Everything about the MacDonnell Range Holiday Park is top rate - staff, amenities, services, convenience, cleanliness and much more. I will definitely stay there again.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Kids loved the pool and slide, Deluxe cabin had everything we needed
Verified traveler (8/5): - Love the location. Sunday morning pancakes, kids playground, trampoline and movie night all good. Go Kart was good but staff should have filled flat tyre before giving for ride. Didn't like Senior reception lady who was cranky on departure and husband said pancake man yelled at children when he arrived and could've been handled differently. Didn't appreciate third kids bed not being made up in cabin when we booked for 3 kids and wasn't told it wouldn't be therefore found out at 9pm I had to make extra bed when we were all tired.
Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff were super helpful, the sites are great and all amenities accessible. Kids loved the pool slide, of course!
Sally (8/5): - Modern, spacious cabin with full kitchen facilities. Park was well staffed and they were very helpful.
KylienCraig (10/5): will stay again ! - Great park, beautiful ammenities. We stayed in a cabin and it was excellent, full kitchen and bathroom, foxtel (all channels, not just sport ), friendly staff. A really great stay, thanx for having us. We will definately be back.
Stephen (10/5): Comfortable and affordable quality stay. - A very comfortable 3 night stay in a very clean and comfortable cabin. Plenty of facilities and activities for travellers to participate in.
Pat (10/5): Welcome to Alice Springs - Excellent customers service, very friendly staff and your made to feel your very important and a hung family member of the Big 4 Carnvaning Community Australia wide. Nothing but 10 star service a a billion star smile from your wonderful staffing family....Wow! Pat Walkington
natalie (10/5): - Holiday period was so busy, I’d prefer out of holiday times.
Suzanne (8/5): Big 4 Alice Springs - Stayed in a cabin which was comfortable, clean and close to pool, etc. Only downside was their check in and out and trying to find out any info, terrible service......and they laughed at us when they saw we booked with hotels.com, which was embarrassing. Expensive for what you get, but kids liked the activities.
Verified traveler (6/5): Family vacation - when arrived i was greeted with abrupt and grumpy staff that where upsetting a person that was trying to book a room before me. after the staff did not help this lady she went outside to book a room at the very park online.... enough of that check in was 2 pm and i arrived at 3 and was informed could not go in to the park and to park my car outside the park as they had no were for me to go and quote " we have had a busy week so ohwell" apart from that we had a villa and the room was lovely, the facilities of the park where very good and the kids loved it there
peter (8/5): Seeing Ayers rock and mt Olga - Out of the way unless you have car. It's an RV park But it is closer to the airport than town which worked okay for us as we took a charter flight over Ayers rock AND Mt. Olgas - a great flight. However great pub a walk away. Had two GOOD dinners there The nearby restaurant was breakfast-lunch Wednesday through Sunday We were there on Tuesday, ate from stuff at store part of office Did get into town once,rather uninteresting
Colin (10/5): Nice area - Nice pool and relaxing 2 days
Marcos (8/5): Best overall in Cooper Pedy. Cline and Nice - the room was very nice (new) and clean. Excellent king bed however the sofa-bed for my children are not the best. the wifi was good but limited to 5 hours. So if you use at night, we must go to the office to get a new free passport (Yes , free, but annoying as I left before the office open). Pillows are very hard , not making justice to the excellent bed and toilet. Full equipped apartment, with Kitchen appliances to cook (if you want) and wash machine. Everything new and clean. Perfect. However a small bump from the toilet to the room make my toes suffer. Be careful. Suggestion to put some kind of rubber to minimise the problem. Ar conditioner devices (in the bedroom and living room) are very good, leaving the 40C+ hot outside. Overall, the best hotel in the area. I need to point the problems so they can be even better rated.
Penny (10/5): Good value, great for families - We stayed in a cabin for a very fair price for two nights. So much for our children to do, nice sized cabin. Very happy with our stay.
Suzanne (8/5): Great for families - Our sons (aged 14 & 11) were rapt with this place. They spent hours in the pool & games room and on the jumping pilliows, basketball court & go karts leaving us to enjoy the plentiful birdlife and laid back outback vibe.The villas are close together but still manage to feel private. Ours (no. 14) was spotlessly clean, adequately equipped & well situated near the bbq's & pool.
Rino (6/5): Stayed in an ensuite cabin - The cabin was in need of some cleaning particularly the carpet and some kitchen utensils were left dirty. There was a bad smell emanating from the drainage breather in the ensuite and one of the knobs was missing on the oven cooktop. A full size fridge was provided with all the necessary equipment including a toaster all in good working order. We were very disappointed that on arriving at 2 pm. to check in that our cabin was not ready and we were asked if we could find something to do and to come back in half an hour. This is a very busy park on the outskirts of town with many cabins and caravan sites and good facilities in the park.
Claus (10/5): Excellent place for families with kids - Our family of five loved this holiday park. In fact, our kids said this was the best place for them during our 2 month vacation in Australia and New Zealand
Verified traveler (10/5): - We found every aspect of this accommodation fantastic and well above our expectation. The staff are generally a pleasure to deal with. Crystal clear and clean pools. We had one dislike and that was the attitude of the front desk attendant in relation to wrist bands for the pool and her harshness towards the kids in relation to the same. We were advised if they tear or damage them they would not get another. I question why? Our 9.5 year old son fell down and tore his plastic band. when he approached the front desk with his 15 year old cousin, they received an attitude and disbelief from the attendant. Other than this the rest was perfect.
Geri (6/5): - Although their website showed easy chairs in the cabins, there were none in ours and this meant that the time spent in the cabin was not as comfortable as it should have been. We are older people and need to rest in between our excursions. I asked for chairs and we were given foldup steel ones, no different to the kitchen chairs supplied. I would not stay at McDonnell Ranges Cabins again if I could avoid it.
vicky (10/5): kids paradise - Kids loved it here. so much to keep them entertained while the adults relax.
Verified traveler (10/5): good for families - Stayed for 3 nights in a 1 bedroom cabin. Was in a great spot close to pool and shop. Also had a communal BBQ area adjoining and playgrounds close. All in all I would recommend this holiday park for families.
Vladimir (8/5): - Value: Economical;
