This region is renowned worldwide for its incredible wildlife, history and indigenous culture and is at once wonderfully remote, yet easily accessible, via road and air from Darwin.

The Lodge itself is located on the beautiful Mary River Wetlands and surrounded by a seasonal floodplain, year round naturally occurring billabong and natural habitat for hundreds of species of birds and animals.
