"If you go to Alice Springs stay at Annie's Place: it's a wicked hostel, one of the best I stayed at in Australia! Also they do an Uluru (Ayers Rock) trip from there which is pretty much the cheapest trip around" -
Niknoks"There's a bathroom in most dorms which is cool; it's got a nice bar and a good menu full of $5 backpacker meals which are lovely" -

If you've been travelling through the Outback for days, it's great to see a friendly face - and the folks at Annie's Place will really look after you. There's something here to suit all budgets, from cheap dorms to swanky, en suite doubles. And if you want to cool down after a hot and dusty day, the swimming pool is a treat...
