This is an award-winning unique safari style camp located within the Garig Gunak Barlu National Park (Cobourg Peninsula) in northern Arnhem Land.

The camp is nestled amongst savannah bushland overlooking the bay of Port Essington.

Operating during the dry season, the camp caters for a maximum of 16 guests, although for the majority of the year, less than 8 guests will share the camp at any one time.

You’ll be met by your hosts upon arrival and shown around the camp.

A large partly undercover/partly open-air dining area is where meals are served and doubles as a nice place to relax.

Canvas safari tents provide comfortable accommodation on a twin share basis.

The tents are arranged along the cliff top overlooking Port Essington.

There are 3 outdoor monsoonal showers and 2 eco friendly odourless toilets that offer privacy and views into the surrounding bushland.

Each evening, canapes and drinks are served on the cliff top, the perfect vantage point to watch the sunset over the bay.
