Batchelor Butterflyfarm

An enjoyable experience. Lots of beautiful animals to feed. Friendly people to have a yarn with. Knicks knacks from around world all over the place. We left with a bag full of mangoes. Come in with an open heart/mind and the same will be extended to you

Price is steep for someone that claims they aren't in it for the money. Very disappointed with the "farm" the rabbits seemed to be the only attraction, no croc, no snake. I get that it's a home with a business attached, but the home life is very much everywhere on the business side. Half dressed people, clothes hanging in public areas, etc... It was a long drive for very little. If you don't want people coming during off season then perhaps close the doors instead. If you want to pay some bunnies and look at some goats, go for it. Otherwise save your money and fuel.

We had a very relaxing day and the meal was wonderful. We were greeted by a friendly person and his smile was contages. We enjoyed feeding the rabbits and Evan sat down in the butterfly house. So nice to do something different.

Butterfly farm not available during visit. Gardens are poorly maintained. Pool is dirty. Surroundings not tidy. No real good food to choose from from their resaturant. Chris is very welcoming though.

Staff very welcoming. Our room was good for the price. Only issue we had in family room was that there was no hot water in the morning.

I drove from Litchfield NP into Batchelor with the kids to take them to the butterfly farm and animal park for a change of scenery. We turned up and thought we'd have lunch there too. Entry fee was $20per adult and $10per child with use of the pool. (The pool looked like it needed a refresh and a change of water- not very appealing) We walked up to the reception/bar where there was a sign saying to ring the bell if unattended, and a man working on a fuse box in the corner of the dining room. We rang the bell. The man didn't even look up. We waited another 5mins, also noticing a dog laying in the kitchen as we could see straight through, and rang again. Again, nobody responded and the man simply walked straight past us without even a greeting towards us and walked into the office. As we decided not to stay, a lady walked out behind us, not a word to be said to us and proceeded into another building. Needless to say, we did not stay to experience any more 'customer service'.

As a newcomer to Batchelor, I was pleased to find that Chris, the owner, is exceptionally friendly and helpful. The food is reasonably priced and of excellent quality.

Unique and amazing. Friendly service and the most amazing curries! Delicious food worth stopping for.

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.
