Bungle Bungle Savannah Lodge

From the minute we arrived the staff were very welcoming and friendly. The manager Tracy was exceptionally helpful as was assistant manager Jo. The accommodation and food was first class and the relaxing time at the Bungles Bar with other guests was thoroughly enjoyable. We did a whole day tour that included cathedral gorge and echidna Chasm which was unforgettable. Our tour guide Matt was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour. He looked after our every need. What a wonderful experience we had in a beautiful world heritage site.

The road in to Purnululu is 4wd only, this makes it more difficult to access but also so worth your time. the wonderful staff at the visitor centre will help you plan your time and advise which walk to tackle. Our overnight stay at Savannah Lodge was superb. Welcomed by Camille we went for dinner and were thoroughly spoiled by the talented Lyn and her team.

We had an absolutely fantastic two day stay at Savannah Lodge. The staff were universally friendly, helpful and considerate, often giving up their own personal time to make you feel special. We were always treated like VIPs. The guides for the walks were knowledgeable and keen to cater for the needs of everyone in the group, again going the extra mile to ensure we had the best time ever. Accommodation is clean and comfortable, and the food excellent, especially given the remoteness of the lodge. Environmental consciousness doesn't have to be Spartan. Top work, guys n dolls.

If you’ve made it this far into the Bungles there are precious few serviced accommodation options and this is probably the best. It’s not nirvana but given the remote location, it is very good. The lodgings are a measurable improvement on tents, the staff are efficient and helpful, and the comestibles wholesome and tasty. This is reputed to be the only accommodation in the Bungles with a swimming pool. The good: our cabin (19) – two single beds – was clean, comfortable, airy and pleasantly appointed. Everything expected was there and it all worked as expected. The compact bathroom worked well as did the plumbing. The not so good: the cabin is fairly compact so it’s good for sleeping and changing only and there’s no air-conditioning, just a noisy pedestal fan. There is also no Wifi anywhere in the lodge and very limited Optus service – apparently.

The lodge is designed to blend into the environment while providing a relaxed and comfortable place to stay to explore Purnululu, aka the Bungle Bungles. The staff are very welcoming and helpful, the buffet style breakfasts and dinners were delicious. Tea and coffee are available 24/7 in the dining room. We enjoyed our afternoon coffee and evening drinks on the veranda and chose to eat dinner there beside the fire pit. Accommodation is in individual cabins, with en-suite bathrooms, a short distance from the dining and living area. Furnishings are attractive and of high quality but minimal: comfortable bed, bedside tables, blanket box, and electric fan, two coat-hangers and a double power point. The en-suite bathroom was well equipped with extra shelves around the small vanity. There is no frig, kettle, iron or air conditioning in the rooms. The “windows” are gauze, no glass, with very well fitted louvre shutters. We were very grateful for the extra blanket in the blanket box. The lodge offers ground transport to/from the airstrip as well as tours to allow guests to explore the north and south sections of Purnululu. Road access needs a high clearance four-wheel drive vehicle to navigate the very rough road and numerous creek crossings. It takes 2-3 hours to travel the 52km from the highway to the park entrance.

Excellent stay at the Savannah Lodge in the Bungles! Loved everything about our stay. The Cabin was excellent - well stocked and very clean. Slept well at night since it was cool and enjoyed the quilt. Food was excellent with lots of choices for breakfast and dinner. Loved eating on the deck outside. Went on the guided hiking tours which provided knowledgeable guides, air conditioned small 4 wheel drive buses, morning tea with muffins, amazing lunches, and afternoon tea when we returned with fresh fruit and tasty cookies. The Bungles are beautiful and staying in the Lodge within the park enhanced out experience. Beautiful night sky with lots of stars - the Milky Way!! Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Loved the bon fire at night on the deck and the bar. Pool was appreciated after a hot day of hiking. Highly recommend!!!!
