Great find. Warm welcome. Homely. Comfortable. Built their 70s home themselves!
Generous breakfast. Happy to provide transport. Only 3k walk to town. Pleased I found Kathy and Karl's place.

We stayed just for one night . It's a quiet place. Lots of good books to read. Kathy gave us good cooked breakfast early, by 7 am.

Thank you for staying with us and enjoying your short time here.Cheers Kathy
We stayed in the family room which was very spacious with a sliding door leading to a very large and pleasant garden outside. The family room has its own modern bathroom. Good breakfasts with fresh eggs straight from chickens on the premises and Kathy made us feel at home. Located in a quiet cul-de-sac, 5 minutes drive to town.

Cute & cosy room in the owners’ house with a wonderfully comfortable bed. Lovely & peaceful. Kathy & Karl are wonderful hosts & made me feel so welcome.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed Kathy’s Place. Very friendly and helpful people. A great stopover on our way around Australia. We highly recommend it for anyones consideration if you are looking for a B & B type of setting.

Thank you for staying with us and that you enjoyed your short stay.Thank you for your friendly words.Cheers Kathy
We drove from Uluru to Alice Springs in the evening and only arrived the B&B almost 2am. The host was kind enough to wait for us and let us check in at this hour. Huge room for the two of us. Breakfast was great and the house have a big garden where you can see birds. Would definitely recommend visitors to stay here while in Alice Springs
Kathy is a very friendly and helpful host. Her breakfast is first class, very homely and substantial. Our stay was extremely good value for money. The only disadvantage is the distance of the house from public transport but as we have a car, that is not a problem.

Liked: Cleanliness
Hosts were welcoming for the most part. Room appeared clean, albeit a little chaotic. Air conditioner was turned off at 9pm which made it difficult to breathe. I felt safe and my privacy was respected.
Kathy picked me up from the airport and took me back where I met Karl. A charming couple who were so friendly and kind. I only stayed one day but Kathy saw me off the next morning very very early with a great breakfast.
Kathy and his husband Karl are simply fantastic...they are very kind and suggest you every thing to do in Alice Springs and Norther Territories. I love them. Excellent cooked breakfast!
I hope we see you again.

Love to see you again one day. So pleased your stay was as you wished.
I slept incredibly well in a very quiet room! The hosts are both lovely and interesting people and the set-up of the B&B encouraged a feeling of camaraderie among the guests.

Disappointed
The room accomadations were clean and okay. The beds were well used and the mattress could be replaced. Breakfast was fix your own cold cereal a bit disappointing. Felt the staff was a little unfriendly and cool.

Our rooms are used most days and the beds have had good responses from guests.
As explained, cooked breakfast between 5 -7:30 am continual breakfast after this time.
Staff confused by lack of communication of guests, so did not interfere to their activities.
8/10 Good

We are pleased you stayed with us and enjoyed your relaxed time here Kathy
What a wonderful hospitality! I stayed before the tour. Kathy cooked breakfast for me at 5 in the morning and drove me to my pick up location in the dark. She also phoned the tour company to confirm my pick up point when she picked me up from the airport! I really appreciate your help. I felt like staying at a friends' place - enjoyed our chat beside a nice and warm fireplace.. Staying here was definitely the highlight of Alice Springs.
