Australia, sometimes known as Oz or Australia, appears to have everything. It does not fail to please and ensures a once-in-a-lifetime journey with metropolitan cities like Melbourne and Sydney, stunning beaches, virgin rainforests, and the unforgiving Outback. Every tourist’s bucket list includes the famed landmarks of Sydney Harbour, the Great Barrier Reef, and Ayers Rock (Uluru). But get off the main path in Kakadu’s wetlands and Tasmania’s untouched wildness, and you’ll see what Oz is all about. We have compiled a list of the top hotels, resorts, and lodges in Australia that should be on any discerning traveller’s bucket list when travelling Down Under.

Bamurru Plains, Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory

Bamurru Plains is a 2.5-hour drive or 30-minute fly from Darwin, located immediately west of Kakadu National Park on the Mary River floodplains. A plethora of birds and wildlife may be seen right outside the door of a one-of-a-kind bush lodge that adds a touch of flair to the exploration of a lonely and magnificent area. Wallabies, dingos, wild pigs, water buffalo, and other animals can all be found at the lodge.

The private safari rooms are the perfect location to unwind and romance, with a luxurious bed, high-pressure shower, and quality linens. The soothing waters of the infinity pool beckon during the day, and the sunbathing terrace is the perfect spot to watch wildlife graze through the camp later. An excellent chef concocts delicious meals, filled with local ingredients.
