The town of Alice Springs, Australia is the embodiment of what one thinks of when they start to imagine how the Northern Territory of Australia was like back in its frontier days—warm, rustic and dry at times throughout the year. Over the decades, this town has grown due to a series of events such as development of the national railroad, and servicemen having been stationed there during World War II. Today, Alice Springs also serves as a great base for backpackers looking to go on day trips to explore the Red County. This town is fast becoming an enticing travel destination due to its interesting history, and the recognition of its status as a key center of Aboriginal art and culture. There’s also a budding culinary scene and other great things to do here, including camel racing. With so much to explore, you’ll need comfortable accommodation. If you’re wondering where to stay in Alice Springs, we’ve got you covered. Scroll down to read about the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Alice Springs, Australia.
