Rex Hunt
A measure of where I go
fishing in my spare time, is if I have been to a
certain place and I return as a paying guest. One
such place is Munupi Lodge on Melville Island. The
lodge offers a perfect base for me to explore some
of my favourite Barra estuaries. The Black Jewfish
of this region are also the best and most prolific I
have found anywhere. I also like to drift along the
flats in search of cruising threadfin salmon. I find
the lodge and its facilities to be comfortable and
safe and the food is of a very high standard. I can
thoroughly endorse Munupi Lodge. Kind Regards Rex

Surfing The Menu
I think that filming
surfing the menu has got to be the best job in
Australia, Curtis and I get to go to some amazing
places and meet some great people. I think that the
time we spent at Munupi lodge on Melville Island was
up their with the best location that we filmed at. I
love fishing and I love good food and at Munupi
lodge you get both. The fishing environment is
pristine and the hospitality that was shown to us by
Michael, Kerri and David was first class, and the
food was definitely the best we had the whole third
series. I am really looking forward to seeing the
episode and hope to be back fishing soon. "Munupi
Lodge Rocks"

What our
Customers Have to Say
Thanks for a
fabulous weekend at Munupi Wilderness Lodge.
The fishing was superb and I have to say that
Rex Hunt was right about it being Australia's
premier fishing spot. Also, having trained
and lectured in customer service for many
years, even I had something to learn from your
operation. No amount of training can
substitute for a genuine desire to build
rapport with your guests and to understand and
exceed your customers expectations and at
Munupi, you do all exceptionally well. I
wish you all the best of success in the future
and look forward to another (hopefully longer)
trip to your amazing location.

Despite not the
greatest time for tides we all believed it to be
the best fishing trip we had ever been on and
would certainly have no reservations about
recommending it to anyone who wishes to catch an
abundance and variety of fish and fishing
techniques or even that fish of a life time.
Living was comfortable, the food sensational
(those rissoles are right up there with the
barra, golden snapper, and chilli crab), and the
service and the professionalism of yourself and
David as guides were second to none. Thanks
again, for my fish of a lifetime.

Munupi
Lodge in the Northern Territory is a great all
rounder for sensational food and a huge fishing
variety. The areas flats barra and threadfin
sight fishing is outstanding and so are the
stocks of black jewfish. Munupi is an exception
to the rule.

Visiting
Australia
We were hosted
by Munupi Lodge. Michael & Kezza Benton,
together with David Taat, took fantastic care of
our every need & showed us the best possible
time that can be had in a tropical monsoon.
NEVER, have we eaten better. They treated these
Americans like royalty. You name it, we got it.
Except sunshine. When we booked. here in
Australia , you do
not make a reservation, you make a booking.
Michael so politely tried to 'scare us off'
because of the frightful weather but the
stubborn Americans needed another adventure and
so, David and Michael graciously gave it to
us! or caught (or ate) more saltwater
fish---both in terms of numbers & species.
The Barramundi is the fish these waters are
famous for but my favourite was the powerful
Queenfish. David put us on the Barra right off
with me missing my first one (the big one, of
course) but followed with another great spot. I
have read that the bonefish is the fastest fish
in the ocean but I'll race anyone's bonefish
with this Queenie! WOW---I thought I'd hooked a
torpedo. We could have caught hundreds of
Mangrove Jacks & Golden Snapper (they just
wouldn't stay off our line!!!!)the last 5
years!!! I could write pages about the fantastic
meals we were served always PLENTY of fresh
sushi & Suze loves the pumpkin soup.
