Main Information
Finniss River Lodge is an exciting and intimate experiential luxury lodge built alongside the vast coastal floodplains of the Top End. Owned and operated by third-generation pastoralists, this remarkable property offers a profound sense of isolation within a diversity of stunning landscapes, all while being easily accessible from Darwin.
Catering to twelve exclusive guests across six luxury suites, guests of Finniss River Lodge will discover some of Australia’s most unique ecosystems through a range of personalised activities alongside discovering authentic day-to-day life on a working cattle station. Each activity is led and hosted throughout by specialist-trained, highly-knowledgeable guides who breathe passion for the region.
The lodge will offer generous respite after days of adventuring around the property and into the greater Top End. Amenities include a restaurant and bar serving locally-inspired meals made with flavoursome produce, a lounge area, and an expansive deck with a plunge pool offering spectacular views of breathtaking Top End sunsets.
Combining an authentic cattle-station stay with the third-generation owners and a luxury lodge experience alongside interpretative expeditions into the dynamic, contrasting and spectacular landscapes of the Top End, Finniss River Lodge is an intimate and experiential lodge to remember.
Top End
The Northern Territory’s Top End is a vast area including Arnhem Land, Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks, offering landscapes filled with jagged peaks of towering escarpment, plentiful wildlife, and a rich cultural heartbeat just outside of Darwin.
The Top End region of Australia experiences two distinct seasons of weather.
Accommodation Options and Facilities
Finniss River offers six exclusive rooms with flexible configurations suitable for all kinds of travellers. Each room offers generous king split beds with an accompanying ensuite, complete with a deep bathtub. Interconnecting room options provide flexibility for families and whole-site bookings. Each room is temperature-controlled and comes with a private veranda to overlook the sprawling floodplains.
Finniss River Lodge’s abundance of activities are led by specially-trained guides to ensure a deep and immersive experience to remember. The range of activities on offer are flexible, personalised to your interests and adapt with the feeling of each day, while personalised charter options can be organised in advance. Two shared on-property activities are included each day, as a morning and afternoon experience curated to the day.
Dining
Boasting a location within easy reach of some of the country’s best produce, meals at Finniss River Station showcase fresh, regional fare with uniquely Top End flavours. Guests can anticipate the compelling flavours of Finniss River Station’s very own dry-aged beef, local prawns, mud crab, barramundi, venison and crocodile, accompanied with fresh seasonal produce of the region including mango, lime, and native plant foods sourced from local farms.
