Litchfield Outback Resort

We stopped here by chance for lunch after a busy sightseeing morning and we were blown away. Great food, great staff, lovely Irish Owner. So much so we booked a room for the night. Comfy bed and the rest we needed.

We stayed here for one night on our recent travels around Australia that included a drive to visit Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks. This resort was easy to find and we could not fault the warm welcome from the receptionist, when we checked-in. She informed us of the local places of interest to visit. We could park our car just feet away from the door to our ground floor room. On entering our room the light switch, that is usually found just inside, was placed some five feet along the wall near to the bathroom door. The room was clean and apart from the leaking fridge and solid jug of frozen water inside, was comfortable but a shower cap or hair dryer would have been useful, as there was a pool and fixed shower. There was a good sized pool a couple of minutes walk away, that was refreshing after a day of driving and walking. So far, so good, then things deteriorated. After our swim, we thought being a Monday evening, that we would have a meal. The bistro and the terrace outside had mainly diners who were already eating. We went into the bistro, joined a short queue and placed an order for a pizza and waited, ...waited ... and waited... While doing so we witnessed other diners experiencing issues with their food orders. After waiting for almost an hour, and by now hungry, we approached bistro staff and enquired how much longer we would have to wait. We were told that its preparation had not yet started and they could not give us a time. Therefore as by now we were very hungry, and had lost all trust that our pizza would arrive, we obtained a refund and had to rely on some snacks that we had with us. We left being very disappointed and could not recommend this as a venue to eat at.

This place was built when comfort was a priority not squeezing in as many guests as possible. The rooms are really spacious and clean with nice views into the pool area. The staff are incredible. They bent over backwards to help the customer in front of me who needed to change rooms due to an issue with stairs. The resteraunt has a great menu and the pizzas are amazing. Best of all the beer on tap is cold. Will stay here again for sure.

The room was great...nice and clean and spacious for the 3 of us. The food amazing the barra was really good x2 of us and lamb shank fall off the bone perfectly. Great staff and very accommodating... highly recommended 👌

The high end rooms are really lovely. Very well fitted out and comfortable. Very much enjoyed that side of the visit. Although expensive…but that’s just NT standard. They give you free wifi coupons but the speeds are basically 0… The prices in the shop are very steep. Understand they’re fairly remote, but $40 for a 6 pack and pack of chips left me limping back to my room. And the old bloke that takes orders for breakfast shouldn’t have a customer service role here. Very rude and blunt to everyone he served. He asked how I’d like my eggs offering poached, fried and scrambled. I asked for scrambled. He didn’t inform me it was a $3 extra charge for that. When I asked why I was paying more he barked back at me “You want scrambled. It costs more for cream” Must be bloody good cream if a splash costs $3. Or maybe it’s the extra wear and tear on the chefs wrist I’m paying for? Steak for dinner was great though. Overall a good stay, just expect to pay a lot and deal with a grouchy old man.

We stayed 2 nights in a standard room (#16) on the ground floor. Parking in front of the door. Check in was quick and fun by Chantal working there and also from the Netherlands. The room is basic. Good beds, clean, TV and airco.|Big bath room with shower. The rooms lack atmosphere (TL lights = no go) and look dated but you are outside, at the lovely pool or touring Litchfield. The food at Lil Ripper was great. All meals did not disappoint and tasteful and good size portions. Overall a very pleasant stay, no noise and relaxed. If the whole place gets a little more TLC it would fantastic. Do recommend and the staff are great and helpful!

We had a very comfortable room on the ground floor with an outlook over the pool and garden. Parking was right next to the room. The room and facilities were very clean. Bistro meals were excellent and the atmosphere in the bar and bistro was friendly and relaxed. We would definitely stay and eat there again.

We had a wonderful time here. The park was amazing. The resort was great. The rooms were spacious and very modern. The facilities were terrific. Highly recommend to anyone who is coming to Litchfield National Park
