ลองจิจูด 131

Very good service, tours, facilities and 'tent' :) During a quite cold night we missed however the possibility to heat up the shower (room not the water),

We have been fortunate to have travelled to many incredible places and had opportunities to stay at unique properties. This was one of my favorites places to visit. It mixes a luxury safari like experience (albeit without the animals) with peaceful isolation. We spent 3 nights here and stayed in the 2 bedroom Dune pavilion (traveling as a family with 2 children ages 12 and 16). This is not a property where you will find many children but it was a special family experience. The dinner under the stars (with blankets and heaters and stargazing), the multi course meals at each sitting and the relaxed and peaceful environment made for a memorable trip. All activities, meals, transport to and from the airport were included. At night, they even set up the outdoor fireplace with drinks on the loungers (all drinks and snacks are included). They even provided hot water bottles in the bed at night to keep room, which was an amusing surprise. We went in winter, so our tours in the morning were chilly. We did avoid most of the flies, which I understand can be troublesome in the warmer months. They provided blankets for the gorge walk (felt like a Jedi walking through the gorge with the blankets flowing off of us). We got to enjoy sundowners while overlooking Uluru at the sunset viewpoint, providing stunning pictures. While expensive, it provides an opportunity to experience Uluru and the Outback region in a. relaxed manner and feel closer to the natural environment. It's glamping at it's finest.

Was looking for something special for a significant anniversary and decided on Longitude 131. The price was a BIG number so was hoping it would live up to the hype. I can report it does! set up is great, rooms as good as you would expect, all inclusive everything 24/7. However the biggest plus, and pleasure for us, was the consistency and excellence of the staff. Each was charmingly friendly and helpful. The guides (different one each tour) were just great. Fellow residents came from all round the globe but so do the staff. You feel like you're in some kind of United nations gathering. We were there 3 night and I would not stay less. Each day was full of great things to do but some downtime built in. Just a couple of the dishes were not perfect but overall interesting and yummy. This place is expensive as all get out, but worth it. Loved it!

Beautiful scenery and accommodations. I applaud the lodge for its activity offerings. One is able to get a real history of the aboriginal tribe(s) that have made this site a spiritual and historical landmark. The tent was both luxurious and exotic in style and ambience. Had I not just arrived from the sister lodge in Mossman, I would have higher praise, however I found the food and service a bit below Silky Oaks. The service staff was not as thorough, knowledgeable and attentive as those at Silky Oaks and I was expecting more site information from the staff so questions were answered mainly by the guide on our walks and sunset viewing visits. Given this, I highly recommend the lodge when visiting this sacred site. There are no big buses and crowds as with the other lodging located near the area.

Uluru is magical and Longitude 131 is a fitting place to enjoy that magic. The tents are spacious, attractive and well provisioned. Food and wine ranged from very good to excellent. Service was great. We particularly enjoyed eating under the stars and returning to our balcony which had a fire going, the day bed made up and a choice of drinks laid out. Fabulous way to end a day. We stayed for three nights and that seemed a perfect amount of time. We did all the included activities on offer and had time for extra activities like a helicopter ride and a visit to the spa.

A wonderful experience not to be missed. We loved every moment of our stay here. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Don’t miss the magic they highlight on the special walks and sunset and star gazing. We so enjoyed Dan and Christian’s tours of the universe. Dennis and Lauren went beyond performance perfection in making our stay so special. Thank you a million times!

This is such a unique place that is well designed and clear about finding the balance between nature and an upscale retreat. Every step of the way there is a focus on service and attention to detail. From the cool towels upon arrival on a very hot day to the smooth and relaxed check in and handling of activities. A wide range of selections at all the meals and a well stocked bar for the guests to enjoy at leisure. The hikes were well guided. Special shout out to “Tush” from Sri Lanka. She took this incredible photo with a back yoga bend that is a special memory. The place is enchanting and engaging or relaxing as you want it to be. The rooms are large, the views are spectacular. This is a marvelous place in the outback.

I was an Australian who had never visited Central Australia. And I knew nothing about Longitude 131 before my recent visit. Both experiences blew me away. From the moment we arrived at the airport until our departure, everything was taken care of. Upon arrival, we were presented with an itinerary that let us enjoy the best of Uluru and Kata Tjuṯa National Park. With bad knees, I didn’t do every walk offered, but enjoyed most activities. The resort provided everything we needed, from backpacks to fly nets (which were needed!). The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Back at the resort, I have never experienced such luxury. As someone who enjoys fine dining and good wines, I actually got excited about going to lunch and dinner each day. Breakfast was also delicious. The rooms were well stocked with a selection of beer and wine, even cognac and Baileys for sipping under the stars. The service was excellent at every level. I have high standards, and couldn’t fault a single thing.

This is a beautiful resort with views of the stunning Uluru. Our trip started with a pickup at the airport, which was easy and quick (only a 10 minute drive from the property). The check in process was straight forward and accompanied with a glass of wine from the self serve bar in the main lodge. Like most of the luxury lodges in Australia, you are presented an itinerary for your visit at check in. They offer many different activities with my favorite being the Uluru base walk and our couples massage. My biggest wish is that I would have asked for one morning of downtime, as they had us booked solid for our trip (wake up at 6 am for hiking with return as late as 11 pm after dinner). While this kept us busy, we were exhausted by the end of our stay, and we didn't feel we got to experience the room as much as we would have liked (the only time we were in our room it was dark and you couldn't appreciate the views). The accommodation itself is nice with a comfortable bed, minibar, and hot shower. It should be noted (as common sense would dictate), that you are in the Australian Outback and there will be dirt and insects (so perhaps, leave the white shoes at home). The resort does a great job of providing all necessary equipment for your outings including bug spray, backpack, face insect shield (not needed in the winter), water bottles (to keep), etc. The areas I could see them improve are in regards to the level and consistency of service. While some of the staff were truly amazing (shout out to our tour guide, Julia, who was fun, informative, and engaging), most of the staff we encountered had a level of indifference (while nice, they generally seemed disengaged). I chalk this up to most of the staff being transient (after speaking to them, we learned most of their staff are on a work/holiday visa program and only work on property for 3 months before moving on). To highlight this indifference, we encountered many staff who would commented some derivative of "only x of days until I can go on holiday again" which doesn't inspire a lot of excitement about the current location (we enjoyed talking to them about their life and travels, but these comments didn't make it sound like people were genuinely excited to be working at Longitude 131). I believe the transient nature of their staff leads to gaps in the type of training/finesse you may expect for a property of this caliber and cost ($3,000+ USD per night). One specific example of where the service was lacking occurred when I requested for in room dining. I was sick one night and asked if I could have dinner in my room (I even offered to carry it there myself). It took multiple staff members asking around before I was told they cannot accommodate this request due to lack of sufficient staff. I ended up eating in the dining room, which was less than ideal. While in the scheme of things this is trivial, with the price you pay, this is not the level of service you expect. All of that being said, this a b
