Accommodations in Mary River Wetlands

• Hotel rating: Superior

Located on a working buffalo station, Bamurru Plains is a luxury camp located close to Kakadu National Park that provides a special bush experience. The property has safari-style raised suites that blend into the surrounding environment with wildlife such as kangaroos and buffaloes in close proximity. Modern comforts have been kept in mind but there are no televisions or telephones to detract from the wilderness experience. In the evenings, gourmet food is served with locally sourced produce used to make contemporary Australian dishes. The nearby floodplains and savanna woodlands are some of Australia's richest wildlife areas, home to tens of thousands of magpie geese, herons, egrets, blue-winged kookaburras, cockatoos and whistling kites. There are field guides on site who offer a range of activities, from airboat trips on the floodplains to cruises on the Sampan river in search of crocodiles. All meals and selected drinks are included.
