Top choice in Northern Territory
Boasting 3km of Mary River frontage, this bush retreat has excellent poolside and bush cabins with decks surrounded by trees, as well as some fine safari tents. Pool cabins are the pick of the bunch, with high ceilings, walk-in showers and more space to knock around in; both sleep up to three people. Camping on the grassy slopes here is delightful.
Go on a croc cruise ($50), hire a fishing boat or ask about fishing charters; bookings essential.
