Peaceful getaway
My 7 year old and I had the loveliest time at Marjorie’s place, we really didn’t want to leave. A beautiful, tranquil long weekend amongst the trees. The cabin is gorgeous and hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating. We will be back!

A peaceful place under the trees that feels a million miles away from the hustle and bustle. Excellent roads mean it is a fairly short drive to places like Berry Springs, Jumping Crocodiles, NT Wildlife Park and even Darwin.

Brilliant accommodation
We stayed for 5 nights at Pandanus Palms Bush Retreat. We experienced excellent communication right from the moment we booked. We were greeted at the secure driveway gate by Marjorie who is the most friendly, warm person. She is a wealth of knowledge on the beautiful local area. The retreat cabin was clean, comfortable and modern. I particularly loved the thought Marjorie had put into her cabin being as eco friendly as possible with the different waste bins under the kitchen sink for food scraps, cardboard for recycling and of course general waste. The retreat was located perfectly for our visit to Darwin as well as the Litchfield National Park and surrounding small towns. We definitely recommend staying at Pandanus Palms Bush Retreat!

Cozy bush retreat
We had a relaxing stay at this cute bush retreat. Marjorie is a jem with such a lovely, sunny personality. She made us feel right at home. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. It was nice of Marjorie to have essentials such as coffee, olive oil, salt and pepper for us. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck watching the birds. Hope we can return again one day.

This property is listed as a bush retreat and the picture seems to indicate this. However, the main road noise was intrusive, especially ealry morning. When we arrived in the afternoon, the airconditioner had not been switched on. It was a 39 degree day and the cabin was like a sauna. We were discouraged from leaving the air conditioner on when we went out bush walking each day, and so each afternoon we came home to a cabin that was hotter than sitting on the deck out the front. The cabin took about an hour to cool down. The first night my husband and I got no sleep as the bed creaked very loudly whenever my husband moved. We took the bed apart, treated the joints and then put the bed back together. Marjorie reimbursed us for the cost of the tools we purchased at the local hardware store, but it would have been nice if she had reimbursed out first night's tariff also. Both my husband and I were having to do work while we were on holiday. The lounge area has no power points and the only power points in the kitchen/dining area are between the kitchen cupboards, over the fridge, and close to the floor near the sliding door. None of these power points enabled us to reach the table to do our work, so we could only work for a certain amount of time at the table, until we had to stop to recharge our laptop batteries. Some other things could have made the stay more comfortable; a microwave oven, blinds or curtains on the lounge and kitchen area windows, a better supply of kitchen utensils, and more than 15 pegs, given the 3 of us arrived with 5 days worth of dirty clothes and towels from bushwalking and swimming in Kakadu. Also, I would suggest changing the bed in the larger bedroom, as although we fixed the creaking, it has a sharp edged frame at knee height that sticks out 10 cm from the mattress that breaks your knee caps when getting into, and moving around, the bed, and scrapes your calves when getting out of the bed. The bed in the second bedroom had no such issues.
