Clearwater Island Lodge is renowned by many as being the top Sport-Fishing lodge in Australia, with our reputation stretching throughout Indonesia and other parts of the southern hemisphere.

We are located on tropical Melville Island, easily accessible via a comfortable 30-minute scenic flight from Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia.

Because of our remoteness, you will enjoy personalized fishing adventures in pristine wilderness environments. And if it’s Barramundi you’re after, you’ve come to the right place! Barra are regular captures, many measuring well over a metre in length.

However, there are over 52 other species of river and coastal fish in our region, including the Mangrove Jack, Spanish Mackerel, Golden Snapper, Threadfin Salmon, Giant Trevally and Queenfish – amongst many more.

You’ll enjoy the experience of a lifetime, exploring the many miles of twisting mangrove rivers and estuaries, as well as some exciting reef fishing, chasing the fabulous Black Jewfish and Golden Snapper! And our bluewater fishing" is just as popular, with people coming just for the thrill of the bluwater adventure. Indeed, you will probably never see again, such an awesome diversity of fishing options all in the one place!

Our comfortable accommodation consists of twin-share, triple-share and double rooms, as well as one family room (double bed and bunk bed), all air conditioned for your comfort. Our relaxation area in the lodge features comfortable lounges with Pay TV and Free To Air Stations. And our bar and dining area are nestled on a cliff top, overlooking the Apsley Strait waterway, with extraordinary views at sunrise and sunset.
