Character and identity
Perched on a cliff above the Chamberlain River gorge, this small lodge sits at the heart of a 700,000-acre wilderness park in the Kimberley, returned in 2022 to the Ngarinyin traditional owners under an Indigenous Land Use Agreement. Accommodating just 20 guests across Gorgeview rooms, Homestead rooms and Cliffside Retreats (the latter with freestanding outdoor tubs), it runs as an all-inclusive operation open only during the April to October dry season. Expect family-style three-course dinners with Henschke and Shaw + Smith on the list, kangaroo tartare at aperitifs, and bush ingredients like pepper berries and barramundi woven through the menu. Service is warm and first-name.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples and well-travelled solo guests who want genuine remoteness (no cell reception, no light pollution), serious landscape (red gorges, waterfalls, hot springs, crocodiles in the river below), and meaningful engagement with Aboriginal culture through programmes like Injiid Marlabu Calls Us, developed by the O'Reeri family.
Should look elsewhere:
Families with young children, anyone wanting connectivity, beach time, or a full-service spa and gym setup. The seasonal opening (April to October only) and the long journey in rule it out for short breaks or anyone uncomfortable in true outback isolation.
Bottom line
What sets this place apart is the combination of genuine wilderness scale and direct, unmediated contact with the Ngarinyin landowners whose country you're on. Book a Cliffside Retreat for the outdoor tub and the gorge views, plan a minimum of three nights to justify the journey, and aim for May or June when the waterfalls still run hard.
