We loved our very brief trip to Swag Inn! Wish we could have stayed longer but it’s the perfect spot to explore Alice from. All the amenities are really well maintained and the site feels very secure, highly recommend. We also booked every last minute and Kathy was very responsive and helpful.

Excellent and well thought out facilities, plenty of space and a great place to relax and kick back away from the bustle of Alice Springs!

Kathy’s place was fantastic!! Not only were the facilities meticulous clean, the metal sculptures and clever repurposing of scrap metal and mechanical artefacts made it this place a must see work of art.

Wow what a find

Great location, excellent amenities and fantastic hosts. We especially appreciated the insights Kathy and Ashley shared of their local area and community which inspired us to explore Alice Springs more than we originally intended.
