Hotels in Northern Territory, Australia

Northern Territory sits in Australia's arid center and tropical north, famous for the massive sandstone monolith Uluru (Ayers Rock) and the vast Kakadu National Park. The climate is split: the Top End has a wet season (November-April) with heavy rains that fill waterfalls like Jim Jim Falls, and a dry season (May-October) with clear skies perfect for hiking around Kings Canyon or spotting crocodiles on a Yellow Water cruise. In the Red Centre, winter temperatures drop to around 50°F (10°C), making it ideal for exploring Alice Springs' historic Telegraph Station, while summer heat can hit 100°F (38°C)-best for watching Uluru's sunrise from the Talinga Nyakunytjaku viewing platform.
