LocatED NEAR KAKADU NATIONAL PARK
Wildman Wilderness Lodge is located in the lush Top End of Australia’s Northern Territory. This region is renowned worldwide for its incredible wildlife, history and indigenous culture and is at once wonderfully remote, yet easily accessible, via road and air from Darwin. Majestic and thriving, the Mary River Wetlands is a stunning discovery in the otherwise dry ‘Red Heart’ of Australia. Teeming with exquisite biodiversity, this unforgettable environment will stay with you forever.
The Lodge itself is located on the beautiful Mary River Wetlands and surrounded by a seasonal floodplain, year round naturally occurring billabong and natural habitat for hundreds of species of birds and animals.
Getting There
Located approximately half way between Darwin and Kakadu, 170km by road from the Darwin City. Drive time from Darwin is less than two hours, along the sealed Arnhem Highway.
Head south from Darwin on the Arnhem Highway and turn left off the highway onto the Point Stuart Road, approximately 17km past the landmark “Bark Hut”. Point Stuart Road has recently been sealed up to the Wildman turn off, leaving only 7km of “good” compacted gravel road to the Lodge. Once on Point Stuart Road, please take the second road to the left which will take you to Wildman. The first turn off is for the Rockhole and Wildman Ranger Station.
Wildman Wilderness Lodge has a bush airstrip with good grass cover that caters for light aircraft or helicopters. Flying time from Darwin is approximately 30 minutes.
