We stayed at Rum Jungle for 2 nights on a short trip to the top end. This is a lovely little place to relax after a days walking in Litchfield National Park. It's only a short drive from the park so it's very convenient if you plan some days exploring. The rooms are not huge but more than adequate. Each... More

We spent 4 nights at Rum Jungle, and it was the highlight of our trip to NT. Litchfield was great to visit, but was always a pleasure to come back to our accommodation after a day of exploring. In fact, we loved Rum Jungle so much that we headed off exploring various sections of the Park each morning, and then... More

Firstly, if we hadn't chosen to stay at Rum Jungle, we wouldn't have enjoyed our trip to Litchfield much at all I suspect, and instead we had a truly memorable time. The advice the owner provided on the park was spot on - as a result we ended up with a gorgeous rockpool to ourselves for a few hours in... More

This accommodation is excellent value. We stayed for five nights; this was the second time we have stayed here. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The BBQ facilities provided a great way to relax at the end of the day, do try the buffalo sausages, from the BP store. We enjoyed the attention to detail and the recommendations... More

We stayed at Rum Jungle Bungalows and loved it. We dropped in to see if we could drop off our bags before going into Litchfield National Park and we were able to check in earlier than anticipated. The owner also gave us some great tips on where to start in the park to avoid the tourist buses. By the time... More

We recently visited Litchfield National Park staying in Batchelor at Rum Jungle Bungalows. The bungalows are delightful and there is a luscious tropical feel to the premises. Next door at the Butterfly Farm the food is great too. The advice and first hand experience of Sue, the Proprietor, was invaluable resulting in a fantastic day in the park and the... More

Bungalows were very small as expected, we liked the idea of a nice quiet tropical garden location for something a little different to standard motels and more fitting for a NT adventure. Rum Jungle Bungalows well managed by Sue with personal attention from Oscar the dog. However, poor quality ceap hard mattresses were a major disapointment and given that we... More

We are very glad the guest appreciated that the Bungalows provide a very unique accommodation experience in peaceful and serene tropical gardens. We apologise and are very sorry that their sleeping experience was considered uncomfortable. It may have been the result of 4 adults chosing to stay in the family bungalow which has a bunk bed for children? Had they... More

This is a tiny place, hidden amongst a lovely rainforest garden. The bungalows are one room only - we had a queen bed and a bunk for the kids, a bathroom, a tiny kitchenette, and not much room for anything else. But there are chairs on the little verandah, and a great pool area and BBQ area to use at... More

Rum Jungle Bungalows are tucked away on a back road in Batchelor, which is on your way through to Litchfield. Sue runs the bungalows and she's a wealth of information on Litchfield and surrounds - we had a fabulous time driving through the park and doing some of the walks, thanks in no small part to Sue's great directions.
