Seven Spirit Bay

Just returned from seven spirit bay 5night stay The food presented tu us was atrocious When you say that the food is amazing 4(5 other people disagree After waiting 30 years to go to this beautiful place was let brown with poor food limited service and a manageress who was not up to the job Good hard earned money wasted l would never recommend anyone to travel to seven spirit bay and be treated to substandard food and service Looking forward to the company reply P j

We had a magnificent time at SSB. The accommodation is luxurious, clean and very comfortable with A/C, crisp bed linen, great towels and pillows. The bathroom is huge and well appointed. The Lodge is a lovely area to sit in and connect to the internet if needed (no internet in accommodation). Sunscreen and mozzie repellent are provided (and a must to apply twice daily!) The fishing trips are fantastic with excellent guides and safe spacious boats. Land based tours are excellent, especially the Victoria Settlement. The resort is surrounded by lush, manicured gardens with a stunning swimming pool. We had a lovely encounter with buffalo on the track to the airstrip. The birdlife is wide and varied. Special mention to Mike who absolutely made our trip. His knowledge of the area is excellent and he made our day trips extra special. If you are really keen to catch barramundi, book during Barra season. It is a treat to catch fish, have them filleted for you and then served to you for dinner! The flight from Darwin airport to the SSB airstrip is 45 minutes in a light aircraft. The 40 minute ride in the troopie from the airstrip to the lodge is fun! The Library has many books providing a great resource for researching your birds, fish or land animals. Our only let down was the lack of chef styled meals for most of our stay due to staffing issues. The wine list is not large but is certainly adequate. We had a fabulous time and will definitely book again.

The final stop in our Arnhem Land trip was Seven Spirit Bay Wilderness Lodge which is obviously the jewel in Outback Spirit's crown. Cabins are five star with even twin hand basins in the bathroom and views of the bay from your bed. Dinner and drinks are on the deck, again with great views. Wifi is only available around the restaurant but that was ok. No TV was a little harder to take. Staff were excellent as was the food. About half of our group caught fish but what we caught was excellent with the biggest 1.3 metres. An excellent place to end our Arnhem Land tour.

Excellent lodge with lovely, incredibly helpful staff. Delicious food and amazing location. It would be great to have more connections with local Indigenous groups for information about the area especially as there is a ranger station not too far away at Black Point.

We spent 4 nights at SSB.Excellent location in a true wilderness environment.Accomodation was excellent plus the meals were first rate.The offered excursions were interesting but lacked cultural authencity given no First Nation peoples were involved.Some suggestions: -involve First Nations people as guides; -offer excursions with a greater cultural component eg bushcraft in practice; -offer bird watching around the Resort ie focus on Rainbow Pita,Great Bower Bird,different Lorrikeets, birds of prey Having said that the fishing was first rate. Staff were excellent including Sam,Jessica and Syd.
