Bamurru Plains is located just to the west of Kakadu National Park on the Mary River floodplains. It is a  unique bush camp that exudes ‘Wild Bush Luxury’  and brings a touch of style to a remote and beautiful wilderness.

Bamurru Plains is located on the edge of the Mary River floodplains just a short distance from the coast and the western boundary of Kakadu National Park.

The focus of your stay at Bamurru is in the environment around you and the wildlife and birdlife for whom it is home. Each individual safari suite is designed to blend with the surrounding bush and as such exposes guests to the sights and sounds of the bush around you, whether it is the haunting call of a Whistling Kite, the raucous cacophony from the Blue-winged Kookaburras as dawn breaks or the sound of a full grown buffalo splashing its way through the floodplains just a short distance from your bed.

With just 9 safari suites built amongst the savannah bush fringing the floodplains, the camp is exclusive and guests will not see other tourists on the property.

Each safari suite is ensuite and raised on a timber platform, with space for sitting out the heat of day with a good book or watching the local wildlife.

Katie can’t wait to dive into a tent with her husband – who can cook up a spaghetti storm under the stars.

She said: “We love the outdoors. Once when we were camping Tom made his pasta carbonara for me.

Maybe Tom can surprise and spoil Kate by throwing a “shrimp on the barbie” one evening. More romantic than cabonara I reckon.

When I came across this, I looked and said….the have got to be kidding me.

Drain pipes, from canvas to concrete.

dasparkhotel is conceived and implemented primarily as a hospitality tool.

It is constructed from repurposed, incredibly robust drain pipes.

The external simplicity surrounds an unexpectedly comfortable interior – full headroom, double bed, storage, light, power, woolly blanket and light cotton sleeping bag.

Anyways, looking in to it, well worth a mention, but would not hang my hat on saying that this in luxurious glamping at its best. Just cannot imagine telling  the other half, we shacking up in a pipe tonight!

Holy Mackeral, check this place out in Patagonia. 100% Ecocamp deluxe.

Patagonia EcoCamp design was inspired on the traditional Kawesqar hut resembling and igloo and a dome at the same time.  The basic premise on designing the EcoCamp was to maintain the nomadic spirit of the ancient inhabitants that moved along the dismembered coast looking for food and shelter. This people lived in harmony with “Mother Nature” and built their huts out of wood, furs and leathers, all organic materials they found on site.

Suite Domes are comfortable 28mt2/ 300 ft2 tented igloo-type double domes built the same way as the ancient native Kaweska’s dwellings. Its structure produces minimal environmental impact while providing an efficient thermal and wind resistant unit, with great exposure to nature in the most magnificent Patagonian setting.

Each dome has a private bathroom, comfortable double or twin beds, and it is heated by a modern low-emission wood stove. In addition, every dome has its own composting device to process waste. Electricity is generated with a micro hydro turbine and solar panels.

EcoCamp’s Suite domes are located in a Lenga (beech) forest next to the existing standard domes but allowing enough distance so as to create a separate and independent atmosphere with more refinement and comfort. The domes are set up with enough space between them to provide adequate intimacy and introspection.

How cool is this!
