Adelaide to Uluru road trip: Distance, driving time & best stops
Lasseter Highway attractions
The best stop along the way is the Mount Conner Lookout, where you can get a decent view of Mount Conner – aka the fake Uluru. This is a completely separate inselberg.
The long slog through the desert is worth it at Uluru, however. There’s a massive range of activities to choose from, whether Aboriginal dot painting workshops or Uluru camel tours.
Which Uluru accommodation should I book?
Let’s not sugar-coat it: Accommodation at Uluru is expensive. Specialist Australian accommodation website Wotif lists Uluru accommodation for from $300. Check the top deals page to search through the options.
However, if you stay for three nights rather than two, hefty discounts tend to kick in.
The Uluru accommodation options are designed with different target markets in mind. Book which one fits you best.
- For the lowest prices: Ayers Rock Campground.
- For best quality: Sails in the Desert.
- For families and self-caterers: Emu Walk Apartments.
- For mid-range solidity: Desert Gardens.
