Just 4km from Litchfield National Park, there's a great range of accommodation here, from shady campsites to better-than-average cabins, and it's the closest option to the park. There's also a breezy, open-sided bar-restaurant (dishes $11 to $23, open breakfast and dinner) where you can get a beer, a burger or a real coffee.
