Look no further than your own backyard to discover unique local experiences packaged by Travel Gateway

TERRITORY PHOTOS: TOURISM NT

When locals pass through the doors of Darwin International Airport and step into the warm humidity, many experience a visceral feeling of being home. Despite many Territorians enjoying traveling away, there’s something special about returning home and feeling that warm embrace.

What if we told you there’s a way to stay here and still have a fulfilling holiday experience? You may think you’ve already seen and done everything there is to do in the Top End, but Travel Gateway is here to tell you there’s still more to explore. Travel Gateway is your portal to discovering opportunities to completely immerse yourself in the Northern Territory and Kimberley regions. It offers curated packages for locals and tourists, and access to unique deals. Travel Gateway also creates custom packages for travellers who want to tailor their trip, particularly if you don’t need flights.Β 

Finniss River Lodge

Introducing the unique Gin Making Experience package, including luxurious accommodation at the iconic Finniss River Lodge. 

This experience is not for the faint-hearted, as it offers you the opportunity to forage for local ingredients and use the native botanicals sourced to infuse your own custom gin, best served with tonic and a smile! You will also enjoy a full meal and beverage package featuring the best local ingredients prepared by culinary experts from the Top End.

Every detail is taken care of in this package, including transfers from Darwin to Finniss River Lodge where you will stay for 2 nights. Located 1.5 hours from Darwin on a 
50,000-acre family-owned and operated outback cattle station, the lodge offers authentic Territory hospitality. This slow-paced, high-style experience offers stunning rooms with sweeping views of wetlands and sunsets, blending bush character with contemporary elegance for an intimate, 
all-inclusive experience.

BOOK: Priced at $3450 per person, this package is a great option for a special occasion or to treat someone special.

If staying in the Top End isn’t for you but you still want to enjoy the warm weather, there are great opportunities in Arnhem Land, the Kimberley, and Timor-Leste available for your enjoyment. Travel Gateway has access to affordable weekend getaways that include flights, accommodation, and all the trimmings.

Forget Bali; Timor-Leste is the new hot destination for Territorians

Timor-Leste locals

This pristine island in Southeast Asia is a short flight from Darwin and offers breathtaking landscapes, a peaceful island lifestyle, and opportunities for adventure and immersive cultural experiences, minus the heavy influx of tourists.

TheΒ Discover Timor-LesteΒ package features return flights from Darwin to Dili, hotel accommodation, breakfast, a personal driver, and day trips to one of the island’s showstopper locations, such as Balibo Fort, Alieu, or Baucau. Travel Gateway understands that visiting a foreign country can be challenging, so this package offers assistance with dinner reservations and transfers.

This all-inclusive package is an affordable $1499 per person for the 4 day and 3 night experience.

If you’re seeking an indulgent staycation without the fuss or expense, locals will love the Oasis Getaway package offered by Travel Gateway.

It’s a straightforward accommodation package at one of the Top End’s most admired, newly refurbished resorts, Mercure Darwin Airport. This tropical oasis will make you feel like you’ve escaped, even though it’s located right in the heart of Darwin. With Australia’s largest, crystal-clear swimming pool, exclusive use of a poolside cabana, and a $250 food and beverage package to use at the resort, this basic but blissful package has everything you need.

Travel Gateway offers an extensive range of packages for both locals and tourists, catering to all travel preferences, and it’s just a click away!
