Background
The resort is owned by the Wunan Foundation, a not-for-profit organization based in Kununurra, Western Australia. It was established in 1997 to provide support and services to the Indigenous people of the East Kimberley region. One of the main goals of the foundation is to promote economic development and self-sufficiency for Indigenous communities in the region.
In 2020, the Wunan Foundation purchased the Lily Lagoon Resort. The purchase was part of the foundation's broader strategy to promote economic development and employment opportunities for Indigenous people in the region.
About the Resort:
Our resort is an Indigenous-owned property located in the stunning East Kimberly region of Western Australia. The resort offers guests an authentic and immersive experience of the local culture, while also providing a high level of hospitality and modern comfortable amenities.
It is situated alongside the stunningly unique Lily Creek Lagoon, 2km from Kununurra's town centre, and offers a tranquil relaxing environment to stay while exploring the raw wildness of the Kimberley Region. Set amongst three acres of lush green lawns, which rolls to the lakes edge, the property houses 24 king premier rooms, 6 self-catering rooms, 12 standard motel rooms and 8 budget motel rooms.
