It was a very clean and pretty modern cabin (queen deluxe i think) with everything you need apart from a cooktop. But the restaurant on site was good for dinner, nothing special but your average sort of pub meals. Great location to base from to go to all the Kakadu sites.

Reasonable accommodation in Kakadu
Everything was provided as expected in a tourist park. Nothing exceptional but given the isolation of this part of Australia we were well satisfied.

The lodge is in a good location handy to activities at Kakadu.
There is a supermarket in Jabiru, but it also good that there is an onsite restaurant.

Stayed in an ensuite cabin. It was newly built and was perfect. The pool area is amazing with a beautiful big pool, large grassed area and lots of seating. We ate at the pool bar and the food was amazing.
The young lady who checked us in was lovely but the the other young lady in reception was particularly unhelpful.
Worth visiting the visitor centre and the lake in Jabiru

We loved staying here. The staff at reception were helpful and friendly, there’s a little shop inside reception incase you need shampoo or a snack last minute which was very handy. The cabin was clean and had AC. it’s nothing fancy but this a camping facility.. the pool was great for the kids and the staff at the cafe/restaurant were friendly and provided great service. Jabiru is such a cool little town and it was nice to be so central with lots of things to do if you just drive a little. I hope to return some time!

Not bad, not great.
Convenient location in Kakadu NP. Ant problem on kitchen and dining area when I arrived. No wifi. Dining mediocre. Otherwise, fine, though overpriced for what you get.

A unique accomodation experience in the Kakadu Lodge room for a couple.
Bathroom facilities close and good common kitchen room.
The Bistro by the pool was enjoyable as well.
