Raw Beauty - Rare Moments
Visit one of East Arnhem's hidden gems!
Escape and Reconnect
Escape to Bremer Island / Dhämbaliya — where nature, culture and comfort come together. Banubanu Beach Retreat offers a truly unique off-grid stay in East Arnhem Land, surrounded by untouched beaches and Yolŋu country.
Our retreat is truly special. Whether it be your own personal getaway, private function or corporate event, we provide an unparalleled experience where our isolation from the world truly allows you to escape, recharge, reconnect with your creative self and country.
Yeah, and you’ll be able to brag about visiting a place many of your friends and family have never been or even know about!
Day Trips
If you only have time to stay the day with us, we can take you on our Snubfin boat or you are more than welcome to visit us on your own boat from Gove. Bookings essential whichever way you decide
Dining
Our menu, which we update regularly has the best in professionally prepared food with a distinctively European theme with many dishes enhanced with indigenous ingredients
Experiences
Although simply staying with us is an experience within itself, some would like to do more to connect and enjoy the island and we have that covered: ATV tours, cultural experiences, water activities given you can swim here, walking trails, turtles (seasonal) and of course fishing
Where are we?
We are lucky to be in one of the most hard reach places in Australia! We believe that in life, effort needs to lead to something special. East Arnhem Land is one of Australia’s remote treasures and Bremer Island, off the coast of the Gove Peninsula is where we live.
We’re about 650km (approximately 400 miles) east of Darwin!

Happy Visitors
Very affordable and easy to get to. The hospitality was unbelievable, food was outstanding. A great place to relax in the pool or sleep in a hammock on the hill under the trees looking out to beautiful beach. Swim/snorkel around the rocks. Or lay under the beach cabanas.
If you make the effort to get to Nhulunbuy then you have to visit this place.
You will not be disappointed.
Came for the day, ended up staying for the night. Absolutely stunning.
Service, food & hospitality were outstanding.
5 stars
Will be back to stay overnight
Lots to do and see - and the meals were chef quality.
Warning - this is remote - off grid living, at its best.
