“Four comfortable multi-bedroom apartments and a studio sit around a refreshing lagoon pool in northern Alice Springs. Eclectic spaces feature Aboriginal artwork — some for sale — plus bright textiles and garden views. Well-equipped kitchens, sitting rooms & inviting decks are ideal for longer stays.”

Vatu Sanctuary - Hotel Review
"Eclectic, arty and charming, Vatu Sanctuary is a private residence comprised of four apartment-style stays. ‘Homely’ is the operative descriptor here as guests want for little, given the residences are fully equipped and padded with comforts such as food baskets, wine and locally made toiletries."
