Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.
Spread out in open space at Bees Creek, with some shade trees for the afternoon sun and fruit tree plantings around the edges. There's access to power and potable water, plus a campfire area. Just 6km to Coolalinga shopping centres with supermarkets, food outlets and services - or Humpty Doo shops & Woolies in the other direction. On Saturday mornings there are Fred's Pass Rural Markets 5min up the road, or Tropiculture food plant nursery with fruit tasting 2min down the road (this is also a nice walk). 20min drive to the Territory Wildlife Park or the Berry Springs Nature Park (beaut waterhole for swimming).Park your caravan/RV/camper in the afternoon shade of a mahogany or black wattle - our dry grassy sites feature young bananas, star apples, old mangoes, and other fruit tree plantings. This landscape is developing into a mix of food gardens, fruit trees, and attractive native vegetation. There's plenty of space to move as we're getting started, and we're happy to share it with you during your visit! Water supplied here is potable town water (not bore water) and there are 5 new connection points available. Solar power supplies our electricity - multiple outlets to plug in to. All visitors must be self contained for toilet & blackwater, and all waste must be removed on departure. This is a peaceful neighbourhood to relax in, enjoy the dry season, & wander around/walk the block. Bushland out the back often used for recreation - lots of tracks. Shopping centres and many services available - 10min to Coolalinga or Humpty Doo.  On Saturday morning there are popular rural markets up the road at Freds Pass Reserve, also "Rural Eats" on Wednesday evenings. Fogg Dam is a world renowned wetland site for birdwatching and buswalks - 30 minutes to get there and make sure you bring your camera.

Fruity Retreat - c'van/camper/RV's
We had a fabulous stay here. What a beautuful family. Les was so interesting to chat to. The boys were very well mannered and engaging. We loved our treats of grapefruit and ochre and can't wait to plant our ochre seeds he gave us. It was a very quiet stay with no road noise and close enough to drive into town with ease. We will certainly return if we are in the area. Thanks a million for the stay..very enjoyable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fruity Retreat - c'van/camper/RV's
Staying at David’s farm provided us with a quiet safe place to explore Darwin and surroundings. Plenty of room surrounded by growing fruit trees. David and Les gave us some fruit and peppers which were much appreciated. Wouldn’t hesitate to return when visiting Darwin again. The farm is close to supermarkets etc. Thankyou David for a memorable stay.

Fruity Retreat - c'van/camper/RV's
We absolutely loved our week stay. The family are so welcoming, and it makes you feel right at home. The camp site is lovely and level, surrounded by growing fruit trees, and with power and water it’s like it’s own little oasis. Of an evening, the sunset through the trees is spectacular. The area is quiet but your also close enough to shops for anything needed. We highly recommend and look forwards to staying again!

Good secluded spot with power and water. 5 mins to shops. Good base to visit Darwin City, Berry Springs, and Adelaide River Croc tours. Hosts very welcoming and we felt safe.

Fruity Retreat - c'van/camper/RV's
Loved staying here! Dave, Thao and Les were great hosts! We were the first guests to stay and it was in a great quiet location off the main Bees creek rd which is busy, 8 minutes from the shops with everything you need. 15 minutes from Palmerston. Power and Water supplied, water was good to drink out if the tap, fill the tanks on the Van. Nice area for a fire which they kindly lit and sat with us. Can't wait to see the established trees in a few years. No complaints and we will be recommending as well as coming back when we are in Darwin again!! Thanks again for having us 😁😁

A splendid place to stay. David and Thao were very friendly and accommodating hosts. Sites are level and grassy and we enjoyed the communal fire pit. The neighbourhood is peaceful. Not a lot of fruit produce yet but we were able to purchase some fresh free range eggs.
