Groote Eylandt Lodge, managed by Metro Hotels

Groote Eylandt is the largest of some 40 smaller islands scattered throughout the archipelago, where seldom-visited beaches, rainforests, swimming holes and tropical landscapes are ripe for exploration, the centrepiece of Groote Eylandt Lodge with its sprawling 25 beachfront hectares is the accommodation wing of 60 waterfront rooms. Groote Eylandt Lodge is equipped with modern conveniences, including a large reception and restaurant, conference and gym facilities, a cultural building and large in-ground swimming pools, all connected by timber-decked boardwalks and landscaped tropical gardens designed to preserve the natural surroundings.
