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!

We loved the convenience of the pool and dining area in the complex and all the shady trees. But the Studio unit we had needs repair - shower base was unstable, shower head was ready to fall off and screen door kept coming off its runners. Aircon didn't have much effect in the heat of the day around 2pm even on lowest setting.

Costly for a basic room

Few hotels in Jabiru. The cost ofca night was expensive (150€ for 2) for a basic room with toilets and bathroom outside. Check-out time also was far too early (10am). However the swimming pool and its evening restaurant were great.

Cabin was clean with everything you need for a short stay. Convenient location to explore Kakadu. Nice pool area with bar and restaurant, food was ok. A little over priced for a cabin.
