We just spent a fabulous 4 nights at Groote Eylandt lodge. The room/cabin overlooked the water beautiful sunsets from our balcony, so private and quiet. The lodge facilities were 5 star, great food, breakfast, lunch and dinner from the restaurant/bar. With expansive decked outdoor areas; a great spot to eat, drink and all enjoy the sunset. Gihan the Manager guided us on a cultural tour of the island. Indigenous cave paintings, up close, off the tourist trail, just the 2 of us, very beautiful and isolated, a once in a lifetime opportunity to view this outstanding art. Morning tea beside a creek, pristine, just us again. Included also was a drive through some of the island’s communities . Such a beautiful place. Gihan’s knowledge of the island and the communities was extensive and his passion for protection of the environment was more than evident. What a beautiful part of this magnificent country we live in.
