Our signature restaurant, Carmichael’s Restaurant & Lounge Bar, serves exquisite meals that make the most of
Northern Territory produce. Naturally, the bar is always popular for a cool beverage after your day out at the canyon.
Of course, the one thing you must not miss is the romantic ‘Under a Desert Moon’ experience - an intimate dinner of fine Australian food and wines under a canopy of stars (seasonal). For a complete indulgence, enjoy one of our Deluxe Spa Rooms overlooking a rocky escarpment.
