Based near Borroloola at King Ash Bay in the Northern Territory, NT Luxury Houseboats offers a unique experience in a wild and remote part of Australia. Here you can leave the cares of the day to day life behind you and set your own schedule - relaxing with family and friends, kicking back in the spa, unwinding in the fully airconditioned interior, enjoying a drink a barbecue on the foredeck, or experiencing some of the best fishing in the Territory.

About King Ash Bay
40 km downstream on the McArthur River from Borroloola, King Ash Bay offers pristine wilderness, endless mangrove lined waterways, beautiful off shore islands and fishing. There is also a large variety of bird life, but a keen eye is needed to spot and appreciate some of the smaller breeds as they often don���t travel far from the cover of long grass and thick bushes. Early morning and evening is feeding time and the best opportunity to spot some of the more skittish breeds.
The McArthur River has excellent fishing and provides a gateway to the Sir Edward Pellew group of islands. With 500 acres of land (under lease from the NT Government) right on the bank of the McArthur River, there is space for many camping options and lifestyles apart from fishing. The club is in many respects a small self sufficient township, generating it���s own power, supplying good quality water from a bore and providing many of the other services you would expect in a small community.
Situated right in the heart of prime Gulf of Carpentaria fishing country, it offers pristine wilderness, endless mangrove lined waterways, beautiful off shore islands and of course great fishing. Most people come for the big Barramundi. The statement ���come for the fishing ��� stay for the lifestyle��� says much about King Ash Bay. It���s not all about Barramundi. Each dry season (commencing around Easter), the King Ash Bay community swells with the arrival of members and visitors who come to enjoy the great ���winter��� weather, the fishing and the lifestyle.
