Highlights

Finniss River Lodge

Sleep
 

The main guest building features two distinct sections: six spacious and comfortable suites and the "Long Room." Here, you can unwind on leather couches with your favourite book whilst enjoy a glass of something cold. The stylish restaurant and bar offer breathtaking views of the horizon, pool, and wetlands and their acclaimed chef crafts exquisite dishes using local ingredients, complemented by a dynamic wine list, boutique beers, and spirits.

Eat
 

A stay at Finniss River Lodge includes all meals, featuring a la carte breakfast, lunch (with picnic options), and dinner accompanied by select wines, local craft beers, and soft drinks. Twice-daily guided excursions on the property include 4WD experiences, hiking, wildlife spotting, and sundowner drinks.

Play
 

While the minimum stay is two nights, we recommend three or four nights to fully immerse yourself in the incredible variety of experiences on offer, from wildlife spotting by 4WD and sundowners to guided walks. For longer stays, an airboat experience on the Finniss River is available. For a truly special adventure, enjoy a scenic helicopter excursion to Litchfield National Park, or opt for a self-drive to explore the park at your leisure. A stay at Finniss River Lodge can be as adventurous or relaxed as you desire. Don’t miss the spectacular sunset from the lodge deck, drink in hand.

Birdwatchers will find paradise here, with flocks of magpie geese and brolgas, while camera enthusiasts can capture photogenic morning mists, stunning sunsets, and abundant natural fauna. The district is also teeming with other wildlife, including saltwater crocodiles.
