Point Stuart Wilderness Lodge is located in the heart of the beautiful Mary River Wetlands 2 hours drive east of Darwin via the Arnhem Hwy. The lodge is named after the explorer John McDouall Stuart who trekked through this area on his successful journey from southern Australia to the northern coast in 1862.

Point Stuart Wilderness Lodge was once known as Jimmy’s Creek Abattoir which processed the huge numbers of water buffalo that inhabited the wetlands during the 1960’s to the early 1980’s, & was part of the original Point Stuart Station.

Perfectly situated, it is the ideal base to explore the wilderness of Australia’s Top End – Mary River Wetlands, Shady Camp Reserve & Kakadu National Park.
