Bamurru Plains management reserve the write to change inclusions to some services where costs change markedly (e.g. fuel costs) and you will be notified of this in writing. Depending on the tarrif you choose, guided activities may be excluded.

During the wet season (March and into April) we recommend some buffer in your itinerary in case of inclement weather and delays to flights. We will be happy to offer advice. There is a general weight restriction of 15 kgs per passenger in soft bags only to fit in the aircraft luggage compartments.

It will be possible to keep excess bags at the air operator’s office in Darwin. Although all care is taken, Bamurru Plains does not accept responsibility for any expense incurred by a passenger as a result of any delay, alteration or mechanical failure with a charter aircraft.

Unforeseen circumstances may result in you having to change your plans or even cancel at the last moment. To protect non-refundable deposits and payments we STRONGLY recommend that all guests obtain comprehensive travel insurance that includes cancellation and emergency medical care cover.

Please be sure to consider such things as pre-existing medical conditions, valuable items and that the policy is right for you.

On safari we recommend:

If you have booked some of your flights directly with the airline or travel agency, please be sure to advise us of any flight changes (timings, numbers etc.) and please be sure to check that your final itinerary has the details correctly noted.

Wild Bush Luxury and Bamurru Plains will not be responsible for transfers, accommodation, tour planning or for any travel arrangements that are effected by flights not booked and ticketed by our office. Wild Bush Luxury and Bamurru Plains will not take responsibility for any third party services which are delayed due to reasons beyond our control.

Cancellations by Wild Bush Luxury:  To ensure the highest standards are maintained, WBL reserves the right to reschedule or alter the experience date and time with no prior notification. These changes do not constitute a claim for a refund. Providing customers with a safe experience is of the utmost importance.

The minimum stay is two nights.

We recommend you stay at least three nights to allow time for an Arnhem Land or Kakadu day trip, or four nights to sit back and relax in and around the camp.

Maximum two adults in each room type.  Select room types can accommodate additional children 17 and under sleeping in swag* bedding. Please speak to our reservations team for more details and to ensure our experiences are the right fit for the family (note family policy above).

*Swags are the Australian bedroll that have been used by generations of Australian pioneers. It is a mattress on the floor inside a canvas cover and made up with quality sheets & pillows. They are custom made, comfortable and are suitable for children only.

Bamurru Plains is not suitable for children under 8 years of age. This is partly acknowledging the small size of the lodge; additionally there are several safety considerations.

An application for exception may be made when guests travel with their nanny to care for younger children. In this instance, an exclusive use booking is essential. Note that there are no child minding services, highchairs, play equipment

Bamurru Plains can accomodate a maximum of 34 guests, including a total of 26 adults and a total of 8 additional children (sleeping in a swag bedding).
