The pristine location speaks magic for itself but the exceptional staff at Berkeley River Lodge make that magic all the more remarkable. Dempsey not only kept my phone alive charging it from his laptop but went above & beyond calling up Kununurra for my left behind phone adaptor, finding it and getting it flown to the Lodge the very next day! Every other staff member we mixed with were also outstanding. I fished 30 years ago with a handline but Scoot immediately made me feel at ease with a rod and kept us all entertained with breezy banter and deftly up to speed with fresh baited hooks, even another rod ready-to-go anytime someone lost the lot snagging a rock. The wining and dining crew are top-shelf; coffees & wines are excellent. Everything served with a jovial ambience .... shout out to Jet, Anna & Hanna! Cuisine is exquisite, from the barramundi salad to the fish curry and the duck confit were all choice .... + many others, thanks Izzy! Absolute highlight was the helicopter flight to mesmerising rock art, swimming in a stunning waterhole (Atlantis) and sensational views, especially of King George River, the canyon and falls + crocs, sharks & stingrays. Gaz has a consummate wealth of knowledge re the Bradshaws & Wandjinas we witnessed, the geology and history of the Kimberley, its flora & fauna and a damn fine pilot! Four hours well spent. To Pete, who made our 4WD beach tour unforgettable ... finding fresh croc tracks, walking safely along this remote coast our shadows taller than our soul and sunset drinks by the pandanus lounge! The only con was having such an early checkout on the last day. We had to have our bags packed and outside by 7.15am and vacate the villa by 7.40 .... the usual 10am checkout would be hugely helpful and highly appreciated to round off a brilliant stay at this superb location.
