    $$$

    Australian wines and Northern Territory specialty dishes like bush salads and Australian game are served at a lookout here before you dine on your buffet meal in the middle of the desert and enjoy an astronomer-led stargazing tour of the southern sky. A more intimate and pricier small-group table d'hôte four-course dinner called Tali Wiru is also available for a maximum of 20 diners at a different vantage point.

  • 4. Kulata Academy Cafe

    $

    Kulata is a bit more than a grab-and-go café. This is where the trainees of the National Indigenous Training Academy take their first step in their hospitality career. You'd never guess the staff were just at the start of their careers though. Friendly and professional, serving coffee, fresh salads, and ready-made sandwiches which are perfect for a packed lunch for that day's adventures.

    • Friendly staff
    • Speedy service
  • 5. Pioneer BBQ and Bar

    $$

    Order steaks, barramundi, emu sausages, crocodile tails, or kangaroo loins from the server, then cook it to your liking Aussie-style on large barbecues. This DIY-dining option and its adjacent bar with live music is one of the most popular in the resort, and with barbecue being practically a national sport here, it’s easy to see why.
