We stayed in safari tents overlooking Annie Creek - with green frogs in the toilet (in spite of keeping the lid down). This is a beautiful place which offers a range of experiences rather than just accommodation. We swam at Sir John Gorge and canoe-ed in Dimond Gorge, which were both spectacular. The 5am bird watching tour was definitely worthwhile,... More

Mornington is a huge private nature reserve run by Austrlalian Wildlife Conservancies, whose mission is to buy up habitat for endangered species and then manage it scientifically. At Mornington they have de-stocked and are using special fire management techniques with considerable success to reestablish small mammal populations. It's not easy to reach, but it's well worth the effort. We stopped... More

We stayed in one of their "safari tents". These have basic furniture (beds and furniture on which to put your suitcases/bags). They are spacious and very clean. They have very good reading lights, which we much appreciated, since it does tend to get dark quite early and there is no internet service for guests. Our nights were quite cool, so... More

Mornington is about an 8 hour drive or, as we did it, just a one and a half hour flight by light plane, East of Broome. We were met at the air-strip and driven back to the camp, about 5 minutes, and shown our accommodation. It is called a bush camp, but that does not really give the correct impression.... More

I really enjoyed staying in the tents at Mornington. They are very well appointed and comfortable, the food was excellent and the tours of the area were fantastic. A well kept secret. More

Just returned from 3+ weeks on the GRR (Gibb River Road) with myself and my husband and another couple. This wilderness camp is quintessential Kimberley - tented safari tents (camping available as well) - run as a wilderness sanctuary. The tents were great - with en-suites - just watch out for the resident frogs. The gorges are great - but... More

Stayed in one of the provided 'tented' sites, loved the location and the food from the restaurant. The fact that I could have a port after dinner was magnificent. Loved it, I will be back. More

This camp has been set up along African safari camp lines, with excellent raised semi-permanent tents (shipped in from South Africa), all sorts of wildlife adventures and tales around the campfire in the evening. The tents are very comfortable and well equipped, with a veranda at one end and a semi-open ensuite at the other. The food is good and... More

My husband and I drove the Outback from Darwin to Broome along the Gibb River Road. The way we chose to travel on this trip..was to push it hard in driving...and chill in a place for a couple days vs driving small distances per day. We drove almost the entire GIbb in 1 day. We drove from El Questro to... More
