In the crisp, white linen of a king-sized bed you find the serene, silent sleep of the desert. Above the sweeping canopy of your palatial tent floats a greater canopy, endless and sparkling. Constellations brimming with Anangu, (local Aboriginal people), tales and stories. You dream the rich dreams found only in the heart of sacred, powerful places. As one of only 30 guests, you awake to your own private view of the sun rising over Uluru (Ayers Rock). Reflecting countless colours, Uluru drenches you with its fabled light. The walls of your tent are a visual narrative, telling of the discoveries made by an early outback pioneer.
To savor all that Longitude 131° and Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park have to offer.
Your elevated 'tent' pays homage to an early Australian pioneer or explorer. Visual narratives adorn the walls and are central to the unique interior design. Understated, earthy natural tones, finishes and fibres are accompanied by an eclectic mix of classical colonial and contemporary pieces.
A white dome roof and flowing fabric draped from the centre create the illusion of camping. But unlike the early pioneers and explorers, guests revel in sublime comfort.
The flick of a bedside switch is all it takes to raise the blinds and watch the spectacular moods of Uluru at sunrise. Meticulously designed to remain cool in summer and warm in winter, you have reverse cycle air-conditioning for complete control over your personal climate.
Offering five-star attention to detail, the Dune House is a stunning communal facility and central meeting place for all Longitude 131° guests. Situated in the middle of the camp site, here guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner while swapping stories of desert discoveries with other guests.
The Dune House also includes a library with maps, a comprehensive collection of historical and current books, games, a large screen TV (for those that need their fix) and a DVD player (with library). You may also take advantage of the superbly appointed (and stocked) bar, enjoying a refreshing drink in the lounge or out on the deck with stunning views of Uluru and the surrounding desert.
