Leyanne Baillie has just returned from the Kimberley. And she was blown away by the beautiful landscape up there. But she has high standards when it comes to accommodation, so roughing it on her first big trip up north was never going to cut it. Luckily the Berkeley River Lodge, set on the pristine north-east Kimberley coast and accessible only by air or sea, did not disappoint.

The lodge’s 15 villas are set within the coastal dunes, luxuriously appointed, with verandas offering views of the Timor Sea or the Berkeley River. Each is surrounded by the sound of silence and the unspoilt Kimberley landscape.

Berkeley River Lodge is open in the heart of the Kimberley dry season, which provides the most stable and enjoyable conditions for exploring the region. This year’s season sold out, and next season is booking up fast, with almost 50 per cent of villas sold for 2027.

For a limited time you can save $2000 on the all-inclusive five-night Berkeley River Lodge experience. Bookings made by October 31, 2026 are priced at $17,750 per couple, twin share (usually $19,750) for travel between May 1 and August 31, 2027. The price includes private charter flights between Darwin and Berkeley River Lodge, twin-share accommodation in a luxury villa, all meals and beverages, and all lodge activities and experiences.
