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.

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.

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.
