Best areas
- Town centre (Todd Mall): walk to cafés, galleries and tour pick-ups.
- Along the Todd River / Barrett Drive: resorts with pools, a short drive or walk from town.
- Out of town: caravan parks and bush retreats with quieter nights and darker skies.
Types of stay
- Caravan parks with cabins and powered sites — popular with road-trippers.
- Backpacker hostels close to Todd Mall, often with tour booking desks.
- Mid-range hotels and resorts with pools, welcome after a day in the heat.
- Self-contained apartments for families or longer stays.
Tips
- Many Uluru and Larapinta tours pick up from central hotels before dawn — check pick-up points.
- Like most outback towns, it's best not to walk around alone late at night; take a taxi after dark.
