Point Stuart Wilderness Lodge

“Truly unique experience to stay on a large station, comfy accommodation and great value for money. Nothing fancy here bu”

The experience felt genuinely like a station trip, the wildlife safari was a highlight, and the owner Nadine at reception was incredibly welcoming; the pool was a major plus, though mosquitoes were a nuisance.

“Basic cabins in a caravan park style resort. Nice pool and walks, but not very flexible or clean.”

The best thing at Point Stuart Wilderness Lodge was the fabulous Jimmy Creek walk. I really enjoyed the chance to immerse myself in the bush, and there were lots of lovely birds and butterflies to enjoy. A peaceful experience. We also found the staff friendly and helpful. The pool was also good. We had an evening meal there which was good, although I would have preferred to have more options that were GF. Good location away from the hustle and bustle. The room was very basic and not very clean, especially for the price. I found it hard to find out information about the place, such as flexibility with check in (which was a worry as we arrived there just after the check in time, but when we asked if this was OK got no reply). Meal times were very restricted. Breakfast is 6-8am, which is pretty early if you want a more flexible wake up time. Given the room had no kitchen, and the outdoor kitchen was very basic without much stuff, and none of it clean, and the nearest eatery was a long way down a very bumpy road, it would have been good to have more flexibility/options with meals. This place was significantly more expensive than it should have been considering the standard of the living quarters and cleanliness. The 'quilt' on the bed was soiled with no cover, the bathroom vent was caked with grime, and the only cutlery, two teaspoons, included one that was stained and dirty. Also, there was no way to adjust the fan and temp on aircon, which meant it was very unsubtle. The section of dirt road to get there has a lot of corrugations

“An oasis on the Mary River”

The rooms were simple but clean and spacious, with the most comfortable beds and pillows, and the staff were friendly. The food was amazing; the chef knows his stuff with a perfectly cooked t‑bone and Barra.

The location is in the middle of nature. The room size was spacious. The animals on site were close by. The wifi was non‑existent, and 4G was very weak except at the bar‑restaurant. The price of extra services was very high, especially for the breakfast, which was really very basic.

The layout of the property was good, the evening 'safari drive' was excellent and the pool was lovely. The saloon/bar area was friendly and the food was OK. The rooms were basic (and not very clean) and aside from the 'safari', morning cruise and swimming pool, the activities in the area were limited. For what we paid, it didn't feel like good value for money
