Darwin is the gateway to the amazing Kakadu National Park. There are many popular waterfront areas with several beaches and green areas like Bicentennial Park. While sightseeing, make sure you visit the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, displaying Southeast Asian and Pacific art. For outdoor enthusiasts, there are some good fishing and mountain biking spots. We are located on a 5-acre block on the edge of town. The top 2 acres are laid out in a tropical garden setting, with the other 3 acres set out with native Darwin plants visited by lots of native animals and birds. You'll feel like you're a whole world away yet you will only be 2 minutes from the supermarket, 5 minutes from a large shopping centre, and 15 minutes from Darwin's CBD. We are a small boutique site and only have currently 3 sites on the 5 acres. Your site is private and you will be able to enjoy your stay without interference from others. IMPORTANT: Each site can accommodate 2 adults MAX. If you have 3 or 4 adults, you will need to book both sites. Please note Pool site is open all year round and has permanent cover. Other sites are dependant on weather and access.

Bush Site Cocky Apple NO POWER

Highly recommend, it was amazing!

What an amazing stay! The property is perfect, a big site full of different plants and wildlife making you feel like you’re in the wild but only a 5 minute drive to Woolworths and other shops. Pete is great, nice and easy to talk too as well as being informative about the wildlife and plants he’s planted over the years to create the perfect stay.

Bougainvillea Site

Great site for tranquility but still centrally located for anything in Darwin! We stayed 3 nights with our pets and had a great time. Pete was super accomodating and the facilities he offers are exceptional!

Bush Site Horse Bush NO POWER

Fantastic stay!!!

We absolutely loved this campsite, great host (Pete) who was very kind to us during our stay. Great facilities! Campsite is very close to Darwin city which is very convenient, but the campsite itself is peaceful and tranquil with wildlife and plants. Enough shade from trees, we had the corner of the property to ourselves. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!!
