There is an outdoor pool, two tennis courts and a 24-hour fitness centre, with a golf course next door and the town within walking distance. Almost 1,300 guests rate it 8.4. Our editorial advice: plan MacDonnell Ranges outings for the cooler morning hours and keep afternoons for the pool and the courts.

OutbackAlice On Todd Apartments
★4.1Self-catering apartments with a pool, pet-friendly, near Todd River
Why guests love itAlice On Todd Apartments is a self-catering stay in Alice Springs that suits families and pet owners. Each apartment has a kitchenette or kitchen, laundry facilities and a private balcony or patio, and there is an outdoor swimming pool to cool off in. It is a minute's walk from the Todd River and a short drive from the town centre and golf course. I would choose it for self-sufficient space and a pool, with a car to reach the centre.

The outdoor swimming pool is welcome after a dusty day, and the alfresco barbecue area makes for simple dinners under the desert sky. WiFi and parking are free. More than 320 guests rate it 8.2.
