Plan two nights. Stay nine.

“Absolutely beautiful stay at Manbulloo Homestead, only 15 mins out of Katherine, very peaceful feel, big grassy sites, lots of beautiful trees, animals around, welcoming hosts, just a beautiful spot”.

Most people book a quick stop at Manbulloo. Then something happens.

They wake up to cattle at the fence. Their kids refuse to leave until they’ve fed the water buffalo one more time. They catch a barramundi before breakfast, pull up a chair at the fire pit that evening, and somewhere between the first cold beer and the second conversation with a grey nomad from Queensland — two nights becomes nine. It happens more than you’d think.

Manbulloo Homestead is the only caravan park in Katherine on a working cattle station — set on the Katherine River beneath mature African Mahogany trees so thick most guests never bother putting their awning up. This is a genuine outback homestead stay, not a chain park. That's exactly why people keep coming back.
