Accommodation
The Northern Territory Holiday Planner, published by the Northern Territory Tourist Commission, gives details of tours, holidays and accommodation in the Territory for the travel trade. In addition there is a large selection of consumer brochures available from the Northern Territory Tourist Commission (see Contact Addresses section).
HOTELS: International-standard hotels are found in Darwin, Alice Springs and Uluru (Ayers Rock), and a good standard of hotel and motel accommodation can be found in all the major tourist areas and centres of population. 2001 saw the addition of 372 more hotel rooms and 85 apartment rooms in Darwin.
LODGES/MOTELS: Lodges and budget motels are available in some of the remote areas.
CAMPING/CARAVANNING: The Northern Territory contains some of the most inhospitable country in the world. From Alice Springs, the nearest major town in any direction is Tenant Creek, 504km (313 miles) away, and consequently any car or caravan must be in prime mechanical condition. During the tropical summer from November to April, travel in the Outback is advisable only in suitable cross-country vehicles, as many conventional roads become impassable for ordinary cars. The Stuart Highway between Darwin and Alice Springs and through to Adelaide in South Australia is a fully sealed road accessible all year. A number of companies can arrange motor camper rentals, with a range of fully-equipped vehicles. Full details can be obtained from the Tourist Commission (see Contact Addresses section).
