Munupi Wilderness Lodge
Munupi Wilderness Lodge is about 100 kilometres north of Darwin on Melville Island. It is strategically situated on the outskirts of Pirlangimpi, an Historic Aboriginal Tiwi settlement that can trace its history back hundreds of years prior to the settlement of Fort Dundas. Pirlangimpi, also known as Garden Point, is a town of about 250, and provides a focal point for the surrounding outstations and such diverse businesses as eco tourism, forestry and a thriving fish farming industry. The Lodge was originally built as the clubhouse for the local golf course back in the mid eighties, and its ensuing survival through several cyclones testifies to the design of the structure.

Modern Facilities
Pirlangimpi has modern facilities, including a sealed Airport, sheltered harbour and Boat Ramp, Supermarket and General Store, Police Station, Local Council, Health and Medical Centre, a thriving Arts Centre, and a modern Bakery. The people are connected to the outside world by regular passenger transport, and a weekly barge service. The locals enjoy TV Radio fax and Internet connections, and are only twenty minutes by air from Darwin, the Northern Territory's capital city. The local Tiwi people are a friendly law abiding community; delightful to talk to, as they tell their stories, and history.

Bar and Restaurant
There is a well stocked bar in the bar/restaurant area that looks directly east over the Apsley Straight, and the lodge will cater for any special preferences in the way of drinks if you let him know in advance. The rooms are air conditioned and comfortable. All have three single beds, or a double and a single bed. There is a dressing table and draws, towel racks and plenty of hanging space for your clothes. blow dryers are also fitted in some of the rooms. 

Munupi Wilderness Lodge has an enviable record for hosting renowned fishermen and journalists such as Rex Hunt, Channel Nine's Today Show, Steve Starling, Kaj Bush and Rick Huckstep, to name a few. Managers, Michael and Kerri-Ann Benton and David Taat are long time residents who bring to the Resort a wealth of experience and knowledge of the local area, together with a vast and practical understanding of the wilderness; the fishery, wildlife, local customs, traditions, history, art and bush tucker.
