Annaburroo Billabong

Northern Territory


With a private billabong, bush camp sites, a wandering menagerie and friendly owners, this place seems a world away from the highway only 2km down the road, and is a great alternative to the roadhouses. The elevated African-style safari cabins with fridge and ensuite are cosy, and there are cabins, lodge rooms and immaculate tin-and-bamboo amenity blocks.

There are free canoes for use in the croc-free billabong.
