Banubanu Beach Retreat

About Banubanu Beach Retreat

Banubanu Beach Retreat is a remote eco escape on Dhambaliya (Bremer Island), just off the coast of Nhulunbuy in East Arnhem Land. 1983, Trevor was working for the Aboriginal Area Protection Authority surveying sacred sites and was part of a team that classified Bremer Island as a protected zone. the island stayed in his heart. Helen, an Arrernte woman met Trevor in 2000 and their Banubanu dream began in 2003 while operating a fishing charter business. Trevor would anchor his boat in the sheltered bay for lunch onboard. Eventually Trevor approached the custodians of Bremer Island and the Traditional Owners of Bremer Island who remembered him from earlier days and granted him permission for the development of Banubanu Beach Retreat.
