Accommodation options at Gorge View Bush Retreat, Nitmiluk Gorge, Katherine NT

In 2025, our accommodation options are;

Glamping canvas bell tents (up to 4 guests per tent, you have to “add an extra” for king single beds in addition to the included Queen bed
Eco safari tents (12v solar power, USB charging for phones) with 2 king single beds, linen, blanket and 1 towel each.
Safari tents (240v power) 2 King Single Beds with linen, blanket, pillows and 1 towel each.
Guests are reminded our tents are tents; not a hotel room; we’re basically a “tent hotel” or a place where you are “renting a tent” ready to go with a real bed inside! In the “cold season” of May, June, July, camping can be a bit chilly. Guests are encouraged to either bring thermals to sleep in, or consider bringing a sleeping bag or extra doona to snuggle up. At Gorge View Bush Retreat, it’s “all the fun of camping, without the hassle!” - but please note the average temperature highs and lows for this part of the world.

Cooking facilities at Gorge View Bush Retreat

We have 3 kitchens at Gorge View Bush Retreat, equipped with gas stove top cooking, gas bbq, fridge/freezer, fry pan, wok, pot, cutlery, crockery and drinkware, as well as tea towels and dish liquid. If you are planning on cooking for yourself, no problem. Our guests are the best kind of guests who are respectful of other people, and clean up after themselves, and we welcome people to cook for themselves.

Cooking for yourself and eating on the deck…. Our sunset deck is an attraction at Gorge View Bush Retreat. For most of the week, guests come and go from the deck as they please, taking drinks and food to enjoy at the deck. (Please take your rubbish back down to the campgound to put in the bin). On some nights (usually Friday and Saturdays), we set up the deck like a little restaurant, with table cloths, fairy lights and a bar. We employ staff to provide drink and food service. When the deck is set up like a little restaurant, it’s the same as any kind of restaurant - we ask that patrons do not bring their own drinks and food.
