🐪 A New Chapter at Ross River Resort 🐪

Times have been challenging for many, especially here in the Northern Territory, and we’ve felt it deeply in the tourism sector. Ross River Resort is evolving into a dedicated event venue as we move forward. This means (as you might’ve seen in on here and in the news 👀) we can only welcome groups, schools, events, and functions to help keep this beautiful property running 💛

It’s not easy to limit visitors to this stunning part of Central Australia, but we hope you'll help us spread the word so we can continue providing the outback hospitality we’re renowned for.

By coming together, we hope to ensure Ross River remains a special place for unforgettable gatherings. Please share this with your work colleagues, friends, family, anyone who might want to book a unique event 🏕️✨

Oh, and if you see any of our four-legged locals (looking at you, camels, horses, and donkeys), remind them too—group bookings only! Unless they can organise a reunion, no special treatment this time 😉

Thank you for your support and being a part of our journey 🙏
