Gorge Rd, Nitmiluk NT 0852, Australia
View on Google MapsThis was an overnight stay in Cabins at Nitmiluk near Katherine Gorge. There are 12 cabins at the Gorge, not to be confused with the Cicada cabins on the same site, which are more luxurious. Nevertheless they are comfortable, well appointed and well equipped, e.g. fresh milk for coffee/tea. The on site swimming pool deserves a special mention, ideal for kids and adults, it is beautifully landscaped. The site accomodates everyone from campers to caravans, motorhomes and cabins. There is an onsite cafe which we did not use, but travelled in to Katherine, a thirty mile drive for an evening meal (worth it). Because it was the rainy season, despite it being a holiday (Australia Day), the site was empty, although the cabins were fully booked. On arrival we decided to go on a two hour cruise through the gorge. This was disappointing, through no fault of the management. The water in the river was too high to access all the reaches normally accessed. However, we ended up at a spectacular waterfall for a swim after climbing a treacherous rocky path. We booked direct through Nitmiluk Tours PTY Ltd. reservations@nitmiluktours.com.au
An amazing experience. Jamie was a fantastic guide. Stunning scenery, even got to see a freshwater croc. So enjoyed the waterfall and swim. Highly recommend!!

Jamie our tour guide was very attentive, informative, friendly, welcoming! I hope I can get to see him during my next trip in Dry Season!
Cancelled last minute. Less than an hr warning to cancel. Terrible service. Would definitely not book with them again
A memorable experience at Nitmiluk Gorge. The cruise allows you to enjoy breathtaking natural landscapes, with stunning slopes, quiet water and a unique feeling of connection to nature. The guide was accessible and knowledgeable, who knew how to share stories and curiosities along the way. A very well-organized, relaxing and inspiring tour — undoubtedly highly recommended.
Beautiful scenery and very friendly and informative commenter . Would recommend . Caravan park pool great too. Enjoyed a great pizza
There was only 3 of us taking the cruise, so that meant we were spoilt having one guide (Jamie) to ourselves. Beautiful trip which was enhanced by local knowledge and experiences.
Beautiful scenery and great commentary from our guide , Holly. A truly amazing nature spot in Australia . Thank you Holly for providing such great knowledge of the gorge and the First Nation people.
We came on a day trip with a tour company who were eh, but THIS cruise through 2 of the gorges was fabulous!!! Thank you so much Nitmiluk Tours, your guide Jamie Brookse was sooo good!! Jamie shared great stories and info and spoke so clearly and calmly it was easy to hear plus his sense of humour had us chuckling. Both my husband and I agree it was the best tour and talk we have EVER had.
We did this cruise in mid October having done it just 12 days earlier at the end of September during our Darwin to Alice Springs road trip. On this second occasion, we were doing it as an excursion off The Ghan train. It was quite a different tour in that there were so many passengers we filled 3 or 4 boats and, because it was about 40C we left at 10.45am, we were told we would only be doing one gorge and not two. I suspect this was more down to the age profile of The Ghan passengers and not normal practice for the cruise operators. We did enjoy this trip and Rachel was our very able, personable and informative skipper and tour guide. The trip lasted 75 minutes and was lovely but the depth of colour in the gorge wall and rock were not as spectacular as the previous Sunset Dinner cruise we'd done 4.30pm-8pm when the colours were amazing. This was a lovely cruise but I would recommend being able to do two gorge (or even three of possible) as we thought the second gorge was much better than the first on our previous trip.
