We had a warm welcome on arrival. The sites are well shaded from the NT sun, plenty of space and very tranquil setting. The hosts were wonderful and very helpful. They have good knowledge of the area and gave us great ideas and places to see to fill in our days. We received clear instructions and prompt responses. They are the best we have come across in our travels around Australia.

The best place we have stayed at on this trip around Northern Territory. The hosts were brilliant they couldn’t do enough for us. They made us feel like Family. Great facilities and they had plenty of knowledge about what to see in Darwin. Highly recommend this place to stay if you are travelling to Darwin.

We were 3 families from 3 states, a place to meet up. Camping between the mango trees was shady with toilet facilities as well.
Highly recommend this peaceful property.
The best stay in Darwin.

We stayed 2 months in total at Mambo Top End and honestly we couldn’t have wished for nicer hosts.
Gerhard and Hannalie are such kind, friendly people who willingly shared their place with us.
We were very sad to leave and could easily have just stayed on.
Guys, thank you so much for everything and we hope to see you both next winter.

We had an excellent time staying here. It’s so lovely camping under the mango trees and with only 4 spots for fellow campers it feels very secluded.
The hosts were really nice and made sure our trip to Darwin was as nice as could be.
As we were in a rooftop tent there were some early morning bird sounds that could make you stir if sleeping lightly but that’s roof top tent life and no blame to the hosts.

we loved our one night stay amongst the Mango Trees, it meant for a shady morning and afternoon which was fantastic. both Gerhard and Hanlie were welcoming and friendly (as were their 3 little dogs!), even let us have a swim in their pool. soft green grass, water available and clean toilets all close to town, would definitely recommend this stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Mambo Top End! Such a beautiful, peaceful spot amongst the mango trees. Lovely green grass, spacious and private sites with power and water. Great location and the perfect base to explore Litchfield NP, Berry Springs with 2 shopping centres just 15 minutes away and the city just a 30 minute drive. Gerhard and Hanlie were the perfect hosts and made us feel so welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. This was our favourite stay in the top end. Thank you for having us!

This is a new camping ground still under construction.
We recently stayed at this camping spot for a few nights and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The site was well-maintained, spacious, and perfectly positioned—ideal for relaxing or exploring the local area. Nice and quiet.
The facilities were spotless—hot showers, clean toilets and a washing machine in the powered area. (new block of ammenities being built in the non-powered sites). Power hookups and water access were easy and reliable.
Richard was an amazing host nothing was a problem he was very helpful and pleasant to deal with.
Highly recommend this spot—whether you’re staying for a night or a week, you’ll leave feeling refreshed and already planning your return. 🚐✨

We had a great stay in between the Mango trees at Gerhard's farm! Some of the most lush grass we have camped on all over Australia, let alone up here in the NT. Gerhard was super accommodating and communicated very clearly before and throughout our stay. The facilities were clean and we were grateful to have access to water and power at such a reasonable price. We would come back here in a heartbeat!

We loved our stay at Mambo, Gerhard and his entire family made us feel incredibly welcome. Parking between the mango trees was delightful, very calm and restful, shaded from the daytime sun and surrounded by greenery. Gerhard is a very friendly and helpful host, the property is safe and secluded and the doggos are super cute!

We really enjoyed our stay at Gerhard’s. To park our caravan in such a beautiful setting was such a treat. We highly recommend the mango orchard if you want peace away from the city but easy access to visit Darwin and the surrounding area. We would definitely stay again and very much enjoyed our chats with Gerhard and Hanlie, who were always on hand to help us. Thank you for making our stay in Darwin just perfect.
