Crab Claw Island

Couldnt ask for more friendlier staff and Host - John! All very accommodating. Facilities were great and food excellent. We stayed in the Deluxe Villa and was great to watch the tide come and go and storms roll over. Lots of wildlife and an adventure in wet season.

Drove out to Crab Claw Island for lunch on Sunday, meals were awesome. Both fish & calamari meals cooked to perfection, tasty salad and crunchy chips. Food is always great whatever we’ve ordered. Fishing off the beach is great, they even have boats to hire. New large toilet ablution block & new cabins added. We’ve stayed in cabins, camped in tents and caravans and driven out for lunches over the years and always have a great experience. Recommend a visit or stay overnight. Well worth the drive and the view is spectacular.

As part of our trip and holiday in Darwin with our Northern Family [we're from the Gold Coast] our future son-in-law and daughter booked some rooms so we could do some fishing and celebrate the end of December and New Year at Crab Claw. Unfortunately our daughter fell ill on the Friday before we were due to leave and our son-in-law phoned the resort to do the right thing and cancel the booking, only to be told they would still have to pay $600, no refund! Our daughter tested positive to Covid early on the Saturday morning and was confined to bed at home as a result, so our cancellation was in the best interest of all the staff and guests at Crab Claw. Unfortunately our efforts fell on "deaf ears" with this owners and this facility has shown they don't understand or apply the understanding of Xmas and the holiday spirit. My posting is to show potential customers and visitors just what this place is like, I can't put into print what I would like to say. Totally disgusted!!
