Emerald Springs

(Emerald Springs)

Emerald Springs Caravan Park is a modern oasis on the Stuart Highway which provides much more than simply a place to park your van.

The restaurant
The Bent Bull Bar and Grill is the social hub of Emerald Springs. A full pub-style menu is served all day from 6am until 10pm – breakfast, lunch and dinner – with the reef ‘n’ beef, mixed grill and Daly River barra clear local favourites. There are daily specials too, as well as luscious desserts like lemon meringue pie and homemade ice cream from 'Nana Pat's Fat Factory' – all made the old-fashioned way with sugar and spice and all things nice!

The bar
They love a good party at Emerald Springs, so the bar is always full with everything from shooters to top-shelf champagne. The boutique wine list is handpicked by Darwin wine connoisseur Tim Story, with labels like Serafino and Goose Island. They happily take requests too, so if you’d fancy a glass of Bombay Gin or your favourite wine for your stay, just ask and they’ll get it for you. Bar opens from 10am until midnight.

The serenity
You’ll find some of Emerald Springs’ best features when you step outside: the lily-covered spring-fed lake, a pretty horseshoe garden and a grassy beer garden framed by colourful heliconias and tropical foliage. Best of all is the enormous hardwood deck that juts out over the lawn. It’s the perfect place for any function and a really beautiful spot to just relax and enjoy a great meal and a cold drink. A natural rock pool and waterfall inspired by Litchfield National Park’s iconic Buley Rockhole will be added this year.

And the rest
Emerald Springs also has conference facilities, a convenience store (with 12 flavours of home-made ice cream), wireless Internet, special needs facilities and parking for coaches and roadtrains. Fuel coming in the dry.
