About the only good thing that can be said about ANY accommodation at Ayers Rock village is that if bookings are low, they often run last minute specials. Other than that, as has been said many, many times but bears repeating: at all quality levels this entire place is kept a monopoly so it can be hugely overpriced.

If you must go, skip Longitude 131, book yourself in for one night, get a rental car (on which you'll also be ripped off with, among other things, mileage limits that make it impossible to see both Ayers Rock and the Olgas without paying an overage), see things in one day on your own schedule and then move on.

(I deleted a sentence here that started an off-topic discussion, I moderated myself in this case. Will now delete the off-topic discussion, it was not my intention to start such a discussion. RichardInSF)
