“Basic accommodation, well executed.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2013

We stayed in The Wet, hardly the time to see places at their best but no complaints about this place. The rooms are small and pretty basic, the bathrooms particularly so. There is a fridge and TV so It's not that basic. Everything works, everything was clean and the room's' patios and shared outside tables prevent you getting too claustrophobic... More

“Cool, quiet and private haven”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 April 2013

We spent one night in April. It was hot so a cool soak in the beautiful pool was a treat. Sue, the hostess was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and neat. Breakfast and the breakfast room were lovely. Sue carefully selects local fruit to make the breakfast a delicious tropical treat

“Nice breakfast but a bit tired & run down”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2012

We stayed here at the end of September. The rooms were pretty average, small and not in great condition. The TV didn't have very good reception and things felt tired. The breakfast was very nice and the lady was helpful with what to go and see at the Litchfield NP. Having said that, not sure there is many alternatives in... More

“Neither tired nor run down”. In September we had 153 people stay with us, most enjoying multiple night stays. On departure the absolute majority of these guests were graciously complimentary regarding the quality of their immaculately clean accommodation, the lovely tropical gardens, the breakfast of course, and their overall experience of staying at the Bungalows. Almost all of these very... More

“Lovely setting, nice breakfast, barely adequate rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2012 via mobile

We stayed one night. The best part of the stay was the fresh local breakfast served in the Indonesian-inspired breakfast room. No complaints there. The owner Sue was quite helpful and friendly. The room itself was small but not uncomfortably so. The bathroom was marginal: the door was flimsy, there were few places to hang or put things. The bed... More

“Oliver Twist”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2012

The B&B is lovingly looked after by Sue and is well maintained. The property also has a pool which was very refreshing after a really hot September day. The room was of an adequate size, but the ensuite bathroom is very small indeed. Breakfast is advertised as being a "4 course meal", but is a bit minimal. We had a... More

We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at the Bungalows. I wish to advise that we have never 'advertised' our breakfast as a 4 course meaI. Below, I have cut and pasted directly from our website and compendium the description of the breakfast we use and the offer to our in-house guests at the considerably discounted rate of $15.00.

“Wow wow wow!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2012

After a long day touring Litchfield National Park, this place was a true oasis! The garden resembles a forest attracting heaps of wildlife. An absolute credit to Sue, the owner and her friendly little dog Oscar. The bungalows are decorated beautifully with everything you need for a comfortable night or two. We opted for breakfast as well and that was... More

“Nice place but...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2012

Pool way to cold, $15 for breakfast way over the top for what you get, beds uncomfortable, other than that it's a lovely place to stay. Owner extremely helpful. The tavern in Batchelor provides a good value feed

Thank you for the kind words and we are pleased that you felt that it's a lovely place to stay. I'm sorry that you found your bed uncomfortable. We are so very lucky here to have a lush tropical garden surrounding our pool as it does keep it shady and therefore cool. Pools out in the full sun are unpleasantly... More

“Charming and relaxing - a real gem”

The accommodation consists of 6 cute bungalows, clean and brightly painted, each with their own verandah and chairs/tables. The rooms also include a bar fridge and sink/washing up area. The chilled bottle of water in the fridge was... More

“Relaxing gem”

Sue saved the day! With her great advice on Lichfield NP we managed to swim alone in swimming holes with waterfalls on a busy Fathers Day Sunday afternoon! Then off to the bigger more popular ones as others left to go back to Darwin. It was great to arrive back into Batchelor in the late afternoon and drive into Rum... More

"Relaxing gem". Thank you both for choosing to stay at the Bungalows. We are always very pleased when our advice regarding the 'timing' of your visit to various areas of the Park worked out well for you. It certainly does make a difference when you can get some private time at one or two of the wonderful rockholes and waterfalls.... More

We stayed at rum jungle for a weekend prior to a conference in Darwin, and loved it. E bungalows are basic, but very quiet and clean.
