Ayers Rock Resort’s self-contained accommodation has been given a facelift.

The renovation features indigenous design elements showcased throughout the separate kitchen, living and bedroom areas. Images of native flora feature in the carpet, while indigenous designs are woven into cushions displayed throughout the apartment.

A large reproduction of an artwork by regional indigenous artist Japanangka or Raymond Walters looks over an open dining area and kitchen.

The upgrade to the Emu Walk Apartments adds to the overhaul of Ayers Rock Resort and the total refurbishment of the 5-star Sails in the Desert hotel and new Uluru Meeting Place conference facility that opened in November 2012.

All 63 apartments have undergone a total internal refurbishment, with 40 one-bedroom and 23 two-bedroom apartments, all offering fully-equipped kitchens, laundry with washer/dryer and a separate dining and living area.

A new reception space has also been designed to improve the overall guest experience, allowing for an easier and quicker check-in and check-out process.
