OUR REVIEWS

What guests are saying:

Great base for exploring Litchfield Park

Stayed in a cabin for 2 nights while exploring Litchfield National Park. The cabin was clean and comfortable and across the road from the inn - which had great meals and atmosphere. The lounge wasn't in great condition and could be replaced. Otherwise we were very happy with our stay and would stay here again

Charlie the Buffalo

‘Charlie’ is the water buffalo made famous as the beast Mick Dundee (Paul Hogan) hypnotises in the 1985 movie Crocodile Dundee. ‘Charlie’ was an Adelaide River resident where he had his own wallowing hole and plenty of company from adoring fans until sadly passing away in the year 2000, he is fondly remembered by NT locals, travellers and movie buffs. He can now be found standing proudly at one end of the 303 bar here at the Adelaide River Inn.
