We are part of the World Heritage listed Carnarvon Gorge National Park, which is home to a third of the country's bird species and an incredible array of other native flora and fauna.

We are committed to the environment; our water comes from the Carnarvon Creek. It is filtered & UV treated. We have recently installed a state of the art sewage treatment plant, which produces high grade recycled water. This is used for sub surface irrigation. Untreated water is used for garden irrigation, so please do not drink water from garden taps. We have also recently embarked on a program to eliminate exotic plant species & replace them with indigenous plants.

Driving from the main road turnoff through to the Lodge there is a 44-kilometre drive including 23 kilometers of unsealed road. The road is suitable for sedan cars except when extreme rainfall has been experienced. The lodge no longer supplies fuel, so you need to make sure you have ample for your return trip. All major credit cards are accepted.
