· Bees Creek, Northern Territory · 5 acres

Hosted by David B.

3 RV sites

Spread out in open space at Bees Creek, with some shade trees for the afternoon sun and fruit tree plantings around the edges. There's access to power and potable water, plus a campfire area. Just 6km to Coolalinga shopping centres with supermarkets, food outlets and services - or Humpty Doo shops & Woolies in the other direction. On Saturday mornings there are Fred's Pass Rural Markets 5min up the road, or Tropiculture food plant nursery with fruit tasting 2min down the road (this is also a nice walk). 20min drive to the Territory Wildlife Park or the Berry Springs Nature Park (beaut waterhole for swimming).Park your caravan/RV/camper in the afternoon shade of a mahogany or black wattle - our dry grassy sites feature young bananas, star apples, old mangoes, and other fruit tree plantings. This landscape is developing into a combination of food gardens, fruit trees, and attractive native vegetation. There's plenty of space to move as we're getting started, and we're happy to share it with you during your visit! Water supplied here is potable town water (not bore water) and there are 5 new connection points available. Solar power supplies our electricity - multiple outlets to plug in to. All visitors must be self contained for toilet & blackwater, and all waste must be removed on departure. This is a peaceful neighbourhood to relax in, enjoy the dry season, & wander around/walk the block. Bushland out the back often used for recreation - lots of tracks. Shopping centres & many services available - 10min to Coolalinga or Humpty Doo. On Saturday morning there are rural markets up the road, or a tropical food plant nursery with fruit tasting just down the road. Renowned wetland site for birdwatching & exploring - only 30min to Fogg Dam (ask for tips).

Staying at David’s farm provided us with a quiet safe place to explore Darwin and surroundings. Plenty of room surrounded by growing fruit trees. David and Les gave us some fruit and peppers which were much appreciated. Wouldn’t hesitate to return when visiting Darwin again. The farm is close to supermarkets etc. Thankyou David for a memorable stay.

Nice quiet place for us to rest up. David, Thao and Les were wonderfully friendly and welcoming. We will definitely return when next near Darwin.

Happy retreaters

18 ft travel trailer · With kids

We absolutely loved our week stay. The family are so welcoming, and it makes you feel right at home. The camp site is lovely and level, surrounded by growing fruit trees, and with power and water it’s like it’s own little oasis. Of an evening, the sunset through the trees is spectacular. The area is quiet but your also close enough to shops for anything needed. We highly recommend and look forwards to staying again!

Good secluded spot with power and water. 5 mins to shops. Good base to visit Darwin City, Berry Springs, and Adelaide River Croc tours. Hosts very welcoming and we felt safe.
