This Christmas, celebrate connection and exceptional Northern Territory produce at Finniss River Lodge’s Long Table Lunch Series.

Set against the sweeping plains of the Finniss River region, this unique Top End experience is an unforgettable celebration of the season — where good food, fine wine, and great company meet in one remarkable location.

A Feast for the Senses

Take your seat at our elegantly styled long tables overlooking the lodge’s pastoral landscape. Adorned with native and festive style, the table sets the scene for a truly Northern Territory Christmas experience.

This year, make the time to share stories, laughter, and the joy of the festive season in the heart of the Territory’s wild beauty, at Finniss River Lodge.
