What You’ll Love…

The Resort — A true remote wilderness experience in the Kimberley

Hidden in an incredibly remote corner of Western Australia’s vast and striking Kimberley region, Faraway Bay is a one-of-a-kind oasis like no other. Perched at the mouth of the glistening Timor Sea, this breathtaking wilderness retreat – the winner of multiple state and national Australian Tourism Awards – is for those seeking adventure off the beaten track.

Fully immerse yourself in this incredible destination with all-inclusive guided tours. Learn about bush tucker, go bird watching, beachcombing or swim in pristine billabong water holes and discover ancient rock art up to 20,000 years old. Find the spectacular twin falls on the King George River, feel dwarfed by the red rock cliffs that rise 50m into the air, fish in tidal creeks to catch an elusive barramundi, and spy crocodiles, sea turtles, manta rays and Irrawaddy dolphins.

When you’re not uncovering the secrets of the Australian outback with daily complimentary excursions, absolute relaxation in the infinity spa or crystal-clear waters of the spring-fed plunge pool are the order of the day. Kick back in the refreshing waters and marvel at 360-degree vistas over the spectacular coastline and ranges.

The Location — Return plane transfers from Darwin or Kununurra Airport included

Due to its secluded location in one of the last true wilderness areas on earth, 280km north-west of Kununurra, the journey to this ultra-remote oasis in the Kimberley is via plane transfer only. Your package includes convenient return air transfers from Darwin or Kununurra Airport. Sit back and relax as a charter plane flies you over one of the most scenic locations in Australia. See ‘Fine Print’ for details.

The Bush Cabin — Escape from it all in one of eight secluded cabins

Offering privacy and 180-degree views of the spectacular cliff-lined bay, your Bush Cabin promises intimacy and seclusion with a maximum of 16 guests onsite at any one time.

One of just eight cabins elevated among the Australian bushland, your accommodation features a private ensuite with an outdoor solar-heated spring-water shower, a plush king-sized bed, air conditioning, a coffee machine and selection of locally-handcrafted aromatherapy amenities.

The Dining — All-inclusive dining including gourmet lunches, canapés, nightly dinner and more

The day often starts pre-dawn at Faraway Bay, with tours departing as the sun illuminates the horizon. Best to be prepared for the adventures ahead: breakfast with premium espresso, fruit juice and tea awaits. Enjoy a continental buffet breakfast of cereal, Faraway Bay’s own homemade muesli, seasonal fruit, yoghurt, toast and jams, alongside cooked breakfast delicacies.

After a morning exploring The Kimberley, there’s decadent morning and afternoon tea, featuring fresh fruits, home-baked cakes, biscuits and tea. Lunch is served either at Eagle Lodge as a gourmet plated lunch or buffet, or often as a gourmet picnic, enjoyed while exploring this breathtaking region. A typical hamper might include quiche, hot or cold roast lamb or chicken with a selection of fresh salads, bread or savoury muffins and fresh fruit.

Dinner is a three-course affair which starts with canapés served on the lower Zebra Rock floor deck, around the campfire alongside Eagle Lodge or in the coolness of the Quoll Bar. This is followed by two decadent courses which can be paired with your complimentary daily glass of wine, beer or spirit (one only per night).

Throughout your stay, enjoy complimentary non-alcoholic drinks and freshly-baked biscuits, muffins or fresh fruit.

See & Do — Complimentary daily activities including boat cruises, 4WD safaris and waterfall hunts

A land of remote, spectacular scenery, the Kimberley offers countless adventures with mountains and thundering waterfalls to explore. You’ll certainly be kept busy (should you choose to be) with Faraway Bay’s complimentary daily activities, adventures and excursions.

Enjoy a relaxing cruise along the scenic King George River past soaring cliffs that end abruptly at the twin waterfalls, where you can enjoy an invigorating shower underneath.
