Hi Jules, Tubs & Jordie,

Well that was an absolutely fantastic 10 days fishing.

We finished up with 27 different species and in excess of 300 fish, including Barramundi, black jewfish, blue salmon, varieties of cod, fingermark, mangrove jacks, GT’s, mackerels, plus plus plus. Also Mud crabs galore.

Managed 11 species Fly Fishing. A couple of insane days Fly fishing – even kept up with the bait fishermen and women (who always seem to get the biggest fish).

The food was amazing as usual.

Mustn’t forget the beautiful sunsets and sunrises.

The helicopter excursions were also amazing with a chardy or two under the waterfalls, plus the odd Sooty Grunter.

Thank you for the great hospitality.

10 days fighing – 27 different species

Hi Julie and Tub.

Thanking you both for making our stay at KCC a most fantastic time. We can see why most of your clients are returners. The fishing and guides were so good. Gill will always remember her 70th. We will be back with more of the family.   Cheers Jan. Sept 2024

70th Birthday Celebration

On behalf of all of us I wanted to say another huge THANK YOU to you for having us at KCC! 

We had the BEST time. It’s an incredible place. Our only complaint is that it was way too short. We enjoyed our other stops but all agreed they had nothing on KCC.

Dad is already talking about not if but when he returns….

D, D & C and the rest of the gang xx

Thank you from The Newnham Family

We had such a wonderful time staying with you, so many lasting memories but one that will stick with me forever is your incredible fish crudo with daikon and miso, Jules! I have just purchased the cookbook (can’t wait to get it!).

Tubs and Jules,

This is a belated thanks for just an outstanding trip to your magnificent Kimberley Coastal Camp, I was lucky enough to be part of a group of 14 mates.  

From when we booked onto the Paspaley Pearls seaplane in Darwin and until we left by seaplane the hospitality was beyond outstanding, nothing was ever a problem and delivered with a smile, a joke or a great Aussie laugh. 

We had five days of action-packed fishing, catching heaps of fish, with the group catching 308 fish (across 33 different species), every day was a new experience with a different guide across the group.  To be able to pull up on a secluded deserted beach, or on the stunning Steep Head Island and have the fish we caught in the morning cooked on a camp stove washed down by a crisp Pinot Grigio were money you can’t buy experiences.

Then each night the way you Jules were able to transform our catches into the most amazing meals was amazing.  I hate to think what our 6-star restaurant meals would have cost in a Sydney restaurant. Particularly the mud crab feast on the last night. Let alone the inclusion of all the beautiful wines, beers and spirits to keep us all socially excited across the five days.

Tubs, I can safely say the entire group was very happy you recommended the cultural walk, everyone left with a far deeper understanding of our first nations people and their amazing history and heritage that you delivered with such a deep knowledge, understanding and you could feel your personal passion for the local people.  Quite inspirational.

We all loved the simplicity and uniqueness of our accommodation, and the pool was a great way to refresh after the day’s fishing.  What more could you ask for!!!

And before closing I must call out the amazing fishing guides, they were outstanding, patient and willing to spend time making our group on each day better fisherman whilst also catching some great fish. I can honestly say I reckon I learnt more from your guides in 2 days than the previous five trips to other locations. (Tubs, just for the record you weren’t a bad guide either)

KCC in simple terms exceeded all expectations and over delivered on all
fronts. What a fishing trip!!!! We will be back.

Thanks for everything.

Hi Tub & Jules

I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude to you both for the most amazing stay at KCC. The amount of effort, energy, passion and patience that you showed was unbelievable and it was very special to be a part of this. Tub, I feel so fortunate to have heard just a few of the indigenous stories and I am honoured to have heard it from someone who is so connected and a part of the local leadership group. Jules, the food was out of this world and none of the detail or effort was lost on us. The group is getting together at my place soon and I will be “Cooking in Thongs” and sharing memories. I thoroughly enjoyed our sing-song and I only wish I had come better prepared. What a voice!

Tommy, Joel and Macca were outstanding. Their knowledge and patience was also endless and all of the boys appreciated their guidance, attention to detail and the long days they put in to ensure that we all had a fantastic time.

The experience has touched me deeply and it will be something that our group will talk about forever. What a great team and what a very special place. I will most certainly endeavour to make it back to see you guys.

All the best.

Dear Tub & Jules

We would like to thank you both for your remarkable hospitality during our stay at KCC.

Your never ending smiles, friendliness and entertaining chatter, throughout our stay, to all guests was amazing while at the same time working tirelessly as we all relaxed.

The professional knowledge and conduct of Maca, Tom & Joel was 1st class and we have no doubt Aliesa will benefit greatly from her time at KCC.

Our experience at KCC far outweighed our expectations and will remain at the top of our list of unique destinations that we have been lucky enough to visit in this country.

The mix of activities was well organised, and pleasing to see that KCC is suitable also for couples regardless of their fishing skills.

Jules, the food was amazing and you should be proud of your ability to prepare such amazing meals in such a remote area of the Kimberley… the cookbook has been read front to back already.

Tub, your passion for the Admiralty Gulf has certainly been an important power behind the progression of KCC… well done.

We hope that you both manage to take a regular break in the future, as we both know from personal experience, that burnout can creep up unexpectedly for self-operated businesses.

Jordie, thanks for assuring us of the suitability of KCC for Vicki’s enjoyment also.

We will return, if we aren’t on the black list, but until that time, we continue to rave to family, friends and others, about a special place that we truly loved.

Thanks again.

Dear Tub , Jules and the rest of the KCC team
Thank you for sharing your magical water wonderland with us and showing us some of your hidden gems.

It’s difficult to say what I enjoyed the most …The lunches on the beach of our catch of the day! The sightings of manta rays, dolphins, sharks, crocs, sea eagles, the mud crab netting, World class dinners or the bush walk and aboriginal art lesson. And I haven’t even mentioned the fishing !
All incredible experiences on their own, but collectively, a once in a lifetime trip!

KCC is not only a spectacular playground ,but your home  and I thank you for sharing it with us in such a warm and uncomplicated manner 
I loved it , as we all did, and I hope our paths cross again in the not too distant future.
