we recently stayed at a Good Rest B&B, but never again, not good value for our money, not very welcoming, and my husband stood in dog piss. we felt the $250 per room was a little expensive. and didn't feel comfortable with the dogs

Room tip: didn't enjoy staying here at all

I stayed at "A Good Rest B&B" in Alice Spring and the hosts Margaret and Alf were a very warm and welcoming couple who could not do enough for their guests. They helped me out in a particular difficult situation as I had booked the wrong dates. Fortunately however they managed to accommodate me. I was extremely comfortable and the B&B felt like a home away from home. The place was extremely clean and breakfasts delicious and plentiful. In the evenings I enjoyed a drink with Margaret and Alf and felt part of the family. I strongly recommend this place to anyone visiting Australia's Great Centre.

The Two Stars in Alice are the hosts
Margaret & Alf . Clean, comfortable and
Private are the rooms . The breakfast is
amazing, the hosts are personally getting the breakfast prepared for all the guests and with a smile . Genuine hospitality .
Alf is a wonderful story teller - ask him about his “ Cyclone Tracy “ experience.
They shared their nice bottle of Red wine, fed us and other guests pizzas and most of all we felt like home .
We were also invited to baby sit their residence when they go on holidays.
Margaret & Alf - your blood should be bottled . Great times wonderful memories.

A lovely, homely place to stay. The perfect place to rest and recuperate in the warm, dry climate.
Margaret and Alf are great hosts who go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. They love a wine and a chat. I felt like I was staying with old friends.
Their dogs are gorgeous and always up for a pat or scratch (or cuddle if you’re lucky).
My mum and I stayed in the villa. It was perfectly clean and had all the amenities needed.
Hopefully I’ll be back soon with my hubby.

Room tip: We used Paul from A&P car hire services to take us into town and the airport. Reliable and friendly.

Margaret and Alf were an absolute oasis on a very challenging holiday.
The accommodation was immaculate, service: warm and welcoming, pool: cool and clear, breakfast to die for
They made us feel like we belonged, our desert home away from home.
And they extended that kind, country welcome to the fur baby of the family too ❤
We cannot thank you enough, Alf and Margaret for going above and beyond any expectations
May you have the most wonderful guests and a fabulous rest of 22!! You deserve it!
