Emerald Springs Roadhouse

Portion 721 Stuart Highway Emerald Springs, Northern Territory 0847

Located off the Stuart Highway, 32 kilometres north of Pine Creek, the Emerald Springs is much more than just a roadhouse. Flanked by tropical gardens, the Inn offers visitors a choice of 40 rooms, as well as 30 campsites, and a lively restaurant and bar. Explore the grounds and relax by the spring-fed Emerald Lake, in the grassy beer garden or on the enormous deck jutting out over the lawn.

Nearby, explore the Butterfly Gorge Nature Park (four-wheel drive only): spot butterflies, swim in the rockpools or picnic at the base of the gorge. Venture to Douglas Hot Springs to watch for wildlife. Or, just a thirty-minute drive from Emerald Springs, near the Douglas Daly Tourist Park, visit 'The Arches' and 'the Waterhole' for a cooling swim.
