The one golden rule when staying at Dhipirri Lodge
Respect the Grass
One of the features of Dhipirri Lodge is the manicured lawn around the grounds that owner Darren Nickolls has nurtured over the last five years.
Not only is the green a lovely visual addition to the lodge surrounds, but it keeps moving around the grounds comfortable – without dirt and sand on your feet – which is a very underrated benefit.
But Darren has one rule – don’t pee on the grass!
Dhipirri Lodge is blessed with two amenity blocks (one on both sides of the main deck, close to the cabins) and guests are expected to show restraint from taking instant relief on the grass (especially in the middle of the night) and use comfort of the flushing toilets Dhipirri offers.
Two big reasons are one, it stinks – especially during the middle of the day when the heat turns up, and two it discolours the grass.
Case in point.
So to ensure everyone gets to enjoy the comfort of fresh green grass, please stay off the lawn 🙂

What guests have to say about Dhipirri
Andrew Ettingshausen – Rugby League Legend and Fishing Show Host.
“Darren is an excellent guide and this is a superb fishing location. One of my favourite times fishing was on the first morning when the water was very still and incredibly clean – we could see through the water and spotted Barramundi cruising up in the shallows. Sight fishing is always the best sort of fishing you can do – what a fantastic thrill in such a remote location.”The March Tourists – GOAT, Doc, G-Russ, Russ, Waz, The Judge, Mee Mee, Big Tone, Bakes, Karl, Roy, Andrew, Scrubber, Steve, Peter.
“Thanks again Darren & crew – we love this place! … Another brilliant trip! … Doc for Most Valuable Tourist! … Time of my life … Fantastic lodge … I’ll be back … Thank you for the good company and service … Most enjoyable few days of the year, great fun, great place, great people.Mark Berg – Fishing Show Host.

“This place is insane! … Life changing, see you again soon … Unreel fishing, best hospitality. Loved it.”Koa Hodgins, Maui, Hawaii.
“Amazing place, good friends, awesome staff and a 116cm Barra to top it all off!”Matt Armistead, Brighton, QLD.
“There’s so many awe inspiring locations so close to the lodge. And it’s such a great lodge with 1st class staff and guides and right on the waterfront. The highlight of the trip was definitely travelling up to the floodplains at the top of The Glyde River, such an amazing place.”
“It’s not all about the fish, the best part of every fishing trip for me is the mates you share it with and the incredible places you visit. Dhipirri had both. Can’t wait to get back there and try it after a big wet season.”
