Stay at our secure and peaceful property, 50kms from Darwin city, just off the Stuart Hwy, and ideally located to explore this wonderful region. Pitch your tent or park your camper/caravan on level ground, with plenty of space to spread out. We also offer a self-contained cabin. We have 7 acres of beautiful Paperbark Forest often teeming with butterflies we recommend wondering through. Lots of visiting wildlife too, including wallabies and birdlife aplenty. In the neighbouring paddock is our two resident Water Buffalo, a very friendly mother and daughter pair. You're welcome to feed them carrots over the fence - they'll love you for it! Campers will have access to a shower and compost toilet (located in the self-contained cabin - which will not be occupied while we have campers here). The property is 40 minutes to Darwin city, just off the Stuart Hwy, and ideally located to be your base camp whilst you head out on day trips to the National Parks, popular tourist spot, Berry Springs Nature Park, Florence Falls, Buley Rockhole, Adelaide River, Noonamah tavern, and more. We're a family-friendly place to stay over, including your dog!

Lovely hosts, great location
Such a friendly host and a very convenient location at a good price. The property is probably more suited to vans and trailers (we were in a tent and finding soft/even ground was a bit challenging and got a bit of road noise).

Lovely spot!
A great spot to explore Darwin and surrounding areas. So close to Berry Springs and Litchfield. A huge space with or without shade. Great hosts! Clean facilities. Loved feeding the water buffalos and watching the butterflies in the paperbark forest. Very secure. We would recommend this lovely spot and hope to return one day.

Shawn is a wonderful host! It's super close to the city and yet still gives peaceful country vibes. Love the wildlife and friendly water buffalo! Shawn was very accommodating with every request including late returns and an unexpected extra guest - paid cash. This was the perfect location for visiting Berry Springs and Litchfield. We've been living on the road for a month and the price including amenities was top notch. Truly a hidden gem!
