Bamurru Plains is located on Swim Creek Station, a coastal buffalo pastoral property near Point Stuart in the Mary River Region. The station is 6 miles from Kakadu National Park’s western boundary. The property is situated just over 60 miles east of Darwin and 60 miles from Jabiru in Kakadu National Park.

You can take a 20 minute private charter flight from Darwin airport, or a 3 hour drive (the first hour and three quarters is on sealed tarmac road, the last hour and a quarter is on unsealed public and station roads) to access the property. Jabiru is a 20 minute flight away or 2 ½ hours drive. The flight from Darwin covers some of the most spectacular wetlands in the world and on arrival at Swim Creek Station there is then a 20 minute drive back to the camp.

Bamurru is built amongst the savannah bush fringing the floodplains to provide a high level of comfort while giving guests unobstructed views of the surrounding wetlands and their teeming populations of birds and animals.

The main lodge provides an oasis of tropical calm in the midst of a noisy wildlife spectacle; comfortable wicker sofas; a well stocked library offers a collection of reference books on the Top End and Australia’s natural heritage. During the heat of the day the cooling waters of the infinity pool beckon and later the lodge deck is the ideal place to watch wildlife graze through the camp. An expert chef conjures up delicious meals, peppered with local ingredients. Anytime of the day you can help yourself to a cold drink from the bar – be it a crisp white wine, a gin and tonic or sparkling water – best enjoyed with one of Bamurru’s spectacular sunsets.

Guests enjoy exclusive access to Bamurru’s miles of the Sampan River, coast and Mary River Floodplain system with daily guided wilderness activities such as croc-spotting river cruises, 4WD safaris, wildlife viewing or walking safaris.
