Batchelor Butterflyfarm

Long drive for many, many rabbits and some farm animals in mud. Saw two butterflies; crocodile, turtles and snake were mia. Interesting atmosphere and friendly staff. Difficult to contact. Glad it was half price.

At Bachelor, we broke journey for refreshments at the Butterfly and Animal farm café which was quite a nice rural café with plenty of space with various vintage items arranged like in an art gallery. We heard that they serve fresh Mango smoothie and that was every one’s choice. In fact, it turned out to be delicious and one of the best smoothies we have had the opportunity of enjoying in the recent times. We found the host to be extremely entertaining where we had a long chat and laughed before we bid good bye to continue with our journey.

$80 for my 5 member family to enter…. Confused as a 4 member family is $50 plus $20 for an adult… someone do that math for me. I saw more butterflies in the car park then I did in the butterfly area. What croc? What snake? The enclosures look like both animals have escaped. The chicken and ducks are living in squalor. We spent all of five minutes there and had to leave due to the smell and disappointment of the realisation we had just wasted our money and time. Save yourself and your bank account and just got for a walk to see butterflies in the national park.

Came here for the butterfly's, because well....it's a butterfly park. It would have been nice to have been told that there are NO BUTTERFLYS before we paid, not immediately after our transaction went through. It felt extremely dishonest. All the best to you.

What a quirky and interesting place. Bunnies to feed and cuddle, a live croc in the back pool, chickens and butterflies, goats and lots of other birdies. Host was friendly and helpful. A few new additions on the go to expand but overall tranquil and calming place.

Do yourself a favour check this place out. Comfortable clean rooms and just a all round good vibe. So chilled and layed back. And as for the food👌 Really enjoyed my 2 days here. Thanks Chri👊🙏

We have visited the butterfly 🦋 farm a few times over the years but we stayed for 2nights over April school holidays 2024. 2 families kids range from 2 yo to 15yo Very quirky & unique little place. Chris (owner) was great to tlk too. Pool was great very cold 🥶. Kids enjoyed the animals. Rooms were spacious . Beds very comfortable. Our rooms had Large fridge tea & coffee included. We had a decent size deck to spread out .we took our own portable BBQ. Does take a while for Hot Water to come thru. . Great stay we will be back for sure.

We visited today the butterfly farm with my two daughters and we all had an amazing time and already planning our next trip! Thank you Chris and the rest of the staff for your amazing service. Definitely a must visit for your children!!!

So happy we found this place! Didn't get to see that butterflies but they let us play with the goats and rabbits and they were so tame. The food was actually surprisingly good. Made my holiday to Darwin complete

5 stars for a unique place to stay, 3 stars for the food. Ambience: A trip place in all senses of the word. It had a definite hippy vibe from the accommodations, staff, amenities and even the music. The cabins were spacious, quiet and very clean. The music can be a little hard to take (3 hours of reggae one night and 3 hours of Bob Dylan the next). Good WiFi but it's only available in the common areas, not your room. Service: Really nice staff. The owners were friendly and interesting. Some of the other staff were less than knowledgeable about the park (in spite of living there for over 6 months), so you may want to get advice about local attractions from elsewhere. The butterfly and bunny enclosures were a delight and a nice way to wind down after a hard day in the park. Food: Meh. Pretty limited options of basic fare. Good drinks, but cost is a premium. Price: Very decently priced accommodation but they make it back on the food and drink. I'd definitely go back if I were to be visiting Litchfield again.
