Lake Bennett is a small artificial freshwater lake located 80 km south of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia within the Coomalie Shire. The lake is set in 4.45 square kilometres of tropical wilderness. It was created in 1980 following the construction of a dam by George and Ken Bennett on a property they had purchased the previous year. The resort was awarded a Northern Territory Tourism Brolga Award in 2002 in the category "unique accommodation". In 2011, a development application was approved for a large expansion of the resort, including both tourist and residential accommodation, however these plans did not eventuate. After closing in 2018, the resort was sold to new owners, renovated and rebranded. It reopened in 2021 as the De Lago Resort at Lake Bennett.
