The Homestead borders Elsey National Park and is situated between two rivers, the Waterhouse River and the Little Roper River which abound with Barramundi and other fish species. Freshwater crocodiles can be seen basking on the banks of the Waterhouse. Mataranka Homestead is also the home of Maddie and our other orphan wallabies which have been hand raised at the homestead.
The caravan park is pet freindly which is a plus....we had a powered site which was a good price... Admenities were basic but clean, the staff where friendly. The bisto had plain, small menu but was nice and resonable priced.During the dry season there is great live music plus a great whip cracking show. There is an abundance of wildlife, trees and close access to the thermal pool which is absolutely a must for travelers to the NT.. Will be a yearly visit for us now...
