Nitmiluk Chalets facilities

These chalets – which are in the process of being rebranded as the Nitmiluk Cabins – are fully self-contained. They come with full kitchens and en-suite bathrooms, while you can choose between one bedroom and two bedroom chalets.

There is a resort-style pool on site, while the generously-sized balconies are a great place to watch the local wildlife. Lots of wallabies hang out nearby, so you’ve got a very good chance of seeing one.

Nitmiluk Chalets prices
