Relaxing Stay in the Heart of Kakadu Cooinda Lodge is in a fantastic location—perfect for exploring the beauty of Kakadu National Park. We really enjoyed the good food on offer and loved spending time on the deck, which was a peaceful spot to unwind and take in the surroundings. A great base for a relaxing and nature-filled getaway!

It's the location from where the Yellow Water cruises depart from so that is very convenient. This lodge also has a shop and fuel bowsers. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about Kakadu NP.

It was a great stay. because we were there at the end off season we did not have many dining options which was a shame. Overall very happy and very central to all that Kakadu has to offer.

Our stay was during the wet, off-season so we did not have the property when it was at its best. However, the staff were very friendly but dining options were very limited - especially for me as a vegetarian - and the place had a slight overall shabbiness which means it’s a 3 overall from me.

Overall enjoyed our stay. They had aircon going before our arrival which was lovely and the portacot we requested was all set up. Expensive for the standard of room you get but it's worth it to explore the wonderful sites nearby.
