We stayed here two nights, as we had booked the Yellow water cruise. Our booking was a screw up from the get go. We had made the booking online from their website at home in the states the night before we left, and the website double booked us, charging us for 6 people instead of 3! I emailed them twice,...

Staying here at the moment for four night in the caravan park area. Good deal with 4 nights/pay for 3. It is central to all attractions. Great swimming pools to cool off in after a big day sightseeing, great bar/bistro and friendly service. Prices are a little higher than normal for a beer etc. but you are in Kakadu and... More

This is a lodge in the middle of Kakadu Park. Expect to pay a lot more than a normal hotel/motel and get less. The $/night was very close to what we paid in the US for a National Park "cabin". Think built in the 1930s and maintained by the government. This was our expectation. The rooms were very spacious and... More

Ive stayed here twice June 2011 and June 2013 with family from Melbourne. Stayed in outback rooms both times as mozzies here are very bad. Take lots of spray!!!!! Outback rooms are basic just a bed but that's all you need they have other options such as the lodge rooms if you prefer luxury. Paid $95 for a double room... More

We stayed at Cooinda for 1 night. It was okay. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were basic and quite expensive for what you get. The facilities in the room are 'motel facilities' with only a kettle. The location is fantastic and the main pool is fabulous. The meals were very expensive... but as we didn't have any... More

Traveling in a little camper, we stayed two nights to see the exquisite bird and animal life of the wetlands. The first dawn cruise very expensive (included very good breakfast), 2nd evening cruise at a very reduced rate. Campsite good but lots of mosquitoes, as expected in a swamp! Hotel pool lovely and mosquito free. Camp prices the highest we... More

We really enjoyed our stay here, nice bar, nice food. We met some friendly locals fishing and they gave us a couple of Baramundi fillets, which we took to the restaurant who cooked it for us at a small charge. Doesn't come much better. One negative point - it was wet season and we fueled our 4x4 with diesel before... More

We stayed at the Cooinda campground for 2 nights. The campground is quite pleasant and you can use the facilities of the resort such as the pool, but it was all very expensive, as were the meals and drinks. Better to be self-catered if you have to stay here. It is close to the Yellow Water cruises (see my other... More

We camped here overnight, and there was no way we would have extended another night. The enormous Mosquitos filled our 4wd challenger and made sleeping impossible. The camping grounds are beautifully shady, but they are a haven for bugs!!! Such a shame, as the Yellow Billabong cruise was first rate, and our flight over Kakadu and Arnhem Land (ex Jabiru,...
