Visited this beautiful waterhole in June. A lovely walk in and you are rewarded with the most picturesque waterhole. You cannot swim here but it is worth going in with a guide so you can listen to the stories of this waterhole. Well worth a visit.

This is one of the best walks if you don't want to do the whole base walk. On your way in to the waterhole you get to see caves with rock art and history and then you can sit peacefully and listen to the birds at the waterhole. We visited this site on our base walk and returned days later when the sky darkened and we hoped there might be rain....to see the waterfalls would be absolutely incredible. Unfortunately, we only got a couple of drops as Uluru seemed to repel all the clouds in the sky that day.

If you are doing the base walk you will see that there are little side tracks from time to time that will lead you to water and rock art.Dont miss this one.The colour from the sun on the rocks is unbelievable.Just loved it.We did see some people going to walk by but quickly told them not to miss it

The waterhole was reached via a lovely walk through gums to a small pool. The play of the sunlight across the rock faces and the reflections in the pool were great to photograph. I would love to come here when it is raining and see the water come down the fall. Well worth visiting.

A series of signs explain how this area fits into the mythology of Uluru to the local people. Thus you can learn a lot even if you are on a walk without a guide. You can see this site either as part of a walk around Uluru or come to it directly if you can only manage seeing highlights of Uluru. If that is your objective, you should drive to the Kuninya carpark inside the Uluru national park. The Kuninya walk goes around the side of Uluru and an offshoot of it is a track to the Mutitjulu Waterhole. It is an impressive site and you can imagine what it must be like if there has been rain and water is flowing into over the huge edifice of Uluru. The photos with this review were taken on a sunrise morning walk around Uluru with a tour company called SEIT. We were also given a bush breakfast in a real tucker bag. Our guide Ryan had only just got his accreditation as a guide for Uluru and his knowledge and enthusiasm added to the enjoyment of the walk

Short 1/2 hr walk on a level good path from the parking lot to the waterhole. It's about as easy a stroll as you can imagine. Some interpretive signs along the way and the rock painting were very cool.
Couple of comments:
1.We rented a vehicle at airport - you can wait for village shuttle for free but it was smokin' hot the day we were there with those black flies constantly at us. There was a couple waiting for the free shuttle bus when we arrived and they were still there when we returned 1 hr later. So - you get what you pay for. That's a long time to wait (even if in the shade) in that heat.
2. Get a fly net. You're going to need it. Those flies don't bite but they are trying to get at the moisture you have - eyes, ears, nose and mouth.
3. There was water supplied at the trailhead, but when I tried to fill my waterbottle, the faucet was plugged full of live ants who are also looking for moisture. Might be best to ensure you bring sufficient water.

This waterhole is very easy to get to as a car park is only about 500m from it. We were lucky enough to see this in the rain with the waterfall running

After doing the base walk which seemed to spend a lot of time well away from the base of Uluru, it was great to sit here and look at the birds frolic in the water. The red rock walls behind the waterhole are a stark contrast.

We visited the Mutitjulu Waterhole the day after a big evening storm. The waterhole was full and lots of frogs . Amazing experience.

This was our first walk at Uluru. It was incredible to see the huge rock faces up close.
It is an easy walk to the waterhole and you get see some rock art on the way there. No water in the waterhole when we were there but a beautiful silence and sense of wonder.
