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.

Cabin was what we needed for our stay. Bit tricky with the shower, as it felt like the floor under was starting to rot away. Made it out safely :-)

Quiet at night and Bistro is good but cabin accomodation very basic for a $200 a night fee. Bathroom in particular needs an update.

The staff appeared that they didn’t want to be there! Not friendly at all. The room’s & amenities need a clean and a coat of paint. For $300/night one would expect better. The flies at the restaurant while trying to eat a meal was horrendous.

We had a cabin & it was excellent. Very clean, tidy. Private bathroom & coffee making facilities. Bed was roomy & very comfortable. Utilised the pool & laundry facilities and ate at the bistro. Food was great & an acceptable menu/choice. Grounds were clean & tidy and staff were friendly.

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.
