Bamurru Plains

Bamarru Plains works on the African safari model. The meals were first rate, prepared by a French chef and with knowledgeable wine pairing. Snacks and drinks were always available, with a great selection of wines, beers, and spirits. The public areas overlooking the plain were exceedingly pleasant, complete with infinity pool. Similar to the African model, there were activities in the morning and late afternoon. The morning activities were on the water. Although were we warned that the airboats were not available due to low water levels, we did go on the airboats. The afternoon activity was a wildlife and scenic drive around the property (an active buffalo station), with plenty of birds and wallabies. Almost all of the guides were very informative. We did the optional day excursion to Kakadu -- it was very expensive but worth it. The staff was very helpful, especially in dealing with our lost luggage and changing our return flight. The one qualm was the quality of the accommodation. We had selected a cabin with AC, which was essential in early October. But there were no bedside tables, the area for clothing storage was minimal, and the light in the room after subset was wholly inadequate.

Wilderness trip with expert guides, glamping type of outdoors bungalows, fantastic excursions and gourmet food. Ask for air conditioning since not available in most bungalows, which is the main critic. Choose the right period to go, not too near to rain season

Substandard accommodation. Room had no aircon in extreme heat, no bar fridge. Sealing for room inadequate so soon learned not to turn the lights on. Was attacked by bugs at night until I felt like a decomposing corpse with gnats crawling through the ceases of my neck. Staff are delightful, friendly and hardworking. Food excellent. This place is not the standard of the equivalent glamping places where I’ve been.

Just like to thank the management and staff who looked after my family and I on our holiday in June 2023 at Bamurru Plains, it is such an amazing place to stay as it's a once in a lifetime experience not to be missed, from the accommodation to the amazing food to the wildlife tours on the wetland to the bushland and I can't forget the amazing infinity pool looking out at the bird life and water buffalos, brumby's, wallabies etc. It should be a must for all to visit it's a life changing experience !

Excellent service, excellent staff, awesome food. Great, relaxed atmosphere. It was nice not having internet or cell signal. Nice to disconnect and enjoy our friend's company. The staff attended to our every need. Beer was cold and wine selection was great.

Fabulous location right on the wetlands, we were here towards the end of the season and the wildlife was more concentrated on the water that was left. The airboats were amazing, but if this was not available (not enough water) there would be not many things to do. For the money paid there should be air conditioning in every tent, not just a few. It was 35C and did not cool down until about 1am and then I could sleep, just too hot without the choice of aircon. Didn't like the water buffalo and cattle poo everywhere and dirt paths so that feet needed washing constantly. Liked the plains and watching wildlife out there.
