I just got back from 2 days at The Lodge with a fairly large group (about 20). All from our group had a great experience. The highlight for me was the hospitality offered from day break until stumps from the genuine crew. Nothing was too hard. The balance of capturing the natural beauty of this pristine location with just a... More

5 of us had 5 great days of fishing. I had not been on an extended fishing trip before and so I cannot make comparisons against other sites but it must be hard to beat Clearwater Island Lodge. The lodge is well located with fantastic views of the Aspley Strait and Bathurst Island, great sunsets and only a few steps... More

If you're looking for great fishing and top food, in a very remote spot. Well this is it. I had 4 great days at the lodge. The trip starts with a short flight from Darwin. Picked up from the dirt runway and back to the lodge for a beer. The rooms and amenities are adequate. The view from the lodge... More

In spite of visiting other 'Barra' camps we are drawn back to this lodge time & time again. Everything just seems to come together in this wonderful environment. The hosts and the guides are exceptional and the scenery makes the fish a bonus. Not to mention that not only am I in the 1Mt + Barra club BUT I am... More

I had great time at the clearwater island lodge. The location is amazing, staff are friendly and the food is sensational. The rooms are neat and tidy and so are the showers and pool. Michael and Kerry were wonderful hosts, very warm and attentive and i would recommend this place to anyone coming to Tiwi.

If you love fishing and great people this is the place. Unspoilt wilderness, a laid back and super friendly place to be and the most extraordinary choice of fishing experiences from reef to estuary which are easily accessed in the one day. I only had 2 days fishing which wasn't nearly enough for me. I can't wait to go back.... More

I've fished from 3 locations in the "Top End" over the years and Clearwater Island Lodge is easily the best I've experienced. I went there a few years ago with a group of six sons and son's in law. The fishing was varied and excellent. The guides were great. Food fantastic. Just a relaxing and awesome place - can't recommend... More

And Dave in the kitchen can mangrove jacks into really magical meals! It was hot & humid...got to expect that at the end of the Wet,... More
