We provide for every skill and experience level, be they seasoned and keen sports fishermen or a party of mixed couples, friends, colleagues and families. We offer practical fishing lessons for novices who want to learn how to catch, clean and cook their catch. First timers are guaranteed a big fish.
A Cultural Experience
The Yolngu, the Indigenous Australian people inhabiting North-Eastern Arnhem Land are the region’s traditional owners. Yolngu means “person” in the Yolngu languages. The local Yolngu living at the Gutjangan Homeland on Bremer Island are the only regular inhabitants. They are welcoming of the visitors who come to stay at Banubanu.
A Rustic Escape From Reality
The Wilderness Retreat and its fittings are constructed with local materials, some of them recovered from the beaches on the island, to keep an ultra low impact on the surroundings. Nevertheless, Banu guests sleep on comfortable beds with clean sheets and soft pillows. Fans and ocean breezes cool them when it is hot and the cleverly constructed structures keep them snug and dry during the brief but intense tropical downpours in the wet season. Eco friendly showers and other facilities ensure that Banubanu remains in a pristine state.
Opportunities to Chill Out
Fishing over the coral reefs can be exhilarating at times and there certainly are a host of other activities to catch your interest. But, many of Banubanu’s guests agree that the very best experience comes from being able to sit in an ultra remote location and just chill out with a glass of wine. Peace and quiet to think things over, a natural serenity to encourage reflection.
Fine Dining
Enjoy healthy and skilfully prepared food during your stay at the Retreat. Helen is a professionally trained and gifted cook who serves her guests up delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners from the freshest of ingredients. Likely you will want your wine order to include some crisp whites to drink chilled with the fish you catch a stone’s throw away from her fully equipped kitchen at the Retreat.
