Gateway to the North Kimberley !

We are not a hotel, not a motel, not a farm stay, not a bed and breakfast, not
a roadhouse, but we ARE an Australian outback mixture of all these things.
While we are a general service center, even more important to your fun &
comfort is our Beer Garden, "Kimberley North". Offering shaded tables, cold
beer, good food and on cold nights a log fire all combine to ensure it is
the hub of the North Kimberley.
