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 2 NO Power Water Yes
Lives up to its name
Pete was great. Went above and beyond wherever he could. The site was perfect for our needs. Peaceful, quiet. Community vibe with fellow campers. Short walk to Woolies. Looking forward to coming back here next time I’m in the Top End.

Bougainvillea Site
Tropical Vibe & Serenity
Just loved this place. Great location in Darwin and sites nicely spaced out for some serenity. Lovely tropical vibe and abundant bird life. Pete was very welcoming and helpful. Nothing was a trouble. Excellent amenities, what more could you want. Thanks to Pete and Troy, we really enjoyed our 10 nights.
