    Two nights at Cooinda Lodge

    rating11 May 2026

    This is probably the nicest place to stay in the entire park, and the best place to stay for the Yellow Water sunrise boat trip. I stayed in a lodge room one night and an ensuite safari tent the second night. I highly recommend the safari tents. Mine was in pristine condition and was far nicer than the lodge room. The lodge room was okay—it was more worn and smelled like cleaning products. Unfortunately, while I was there the only place to have dinner was at the outdoor dining restaurant, despite the heat and bugs. And there is no lunch or other food service available after 2pm until dinnertime. The indoor breakfast buffet was nice. The pool looks far nicer in the website pictures than it does in person.

    Great base to stay

    rating07 Dec 2025

    There are limited resorts in the area but this is a must. I was upgraded to what turned out to be a glamping Lodge which had everything you need - including excellent AC. Breakfast was basic but decent and restaurant whilst slightly limited options was decent fayre.All staff really friendly and helpful Alain Codino, Owner at Cooinda Lodge Kakadu, responded to this review Thank you for sharing your feedback.Cooinda Lodge is positioned as a practical and comfortable base within Kakadu and our focus is on delivering reliable accommodation, strong guest service and a welcoming atmosphere in a remote environment.

    Beautiful gardens and landscaping and lovely pool and cafe/restaurant area

    rating22 Oct 2025

    We came to this hotel to meet up for our 9am Yellow River Cruise as it was the main pickup point. We got there in good time to have drinks and snacks in the cafe/restaurant. The hotel looked beautiful - the pool area and restaurant had a lush tropical feel and the gardens and landscaping were lovely. There was a well stocked shop there too.We'd stayed the previous two nights at the Mercure Kakadu and, after seeing Cooinda Lodge, regretted that as we would have enjoyed staying in Cooinda Lodge a lot more. It would also have meant we could have done the Yellow River Sunrise Cruise but we didn't want to risk the 45 minute drive from Jabiru to here in the dark so missed out on that. Top tip - make this your base in the park! Although staying here does make being at the Ubirr Sunset Point almost impossible as that is a 90km/1 hour drive so wouldn't be great after sunset. Alain Codino, Owner at Cooinda Lodge Kakadu, responded to this review Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.Cooinda Lodge is designed to be a central hub within Kakadu where guests can relax, refuel and transition easily between experiences. It is pleasing to hear that the outdoor spaces, pool precinct and food and beverage areas created a strong first impression and delivered the atmosphere you were seeking.Being located onsite with Yellow Water does offer practical advantages, particularly for early departures and immersive experiences at dawn. At the same time, Kakadu is vast by nature and every base within the park comes with different trade offs in terms of access and driving distances. Planning around those realities is part of navigating a destination of this scale and significance.We appreciate your perspective and hope you will consider staying with us on a future visit to fully experience what the lodge offers as a base within the park.The Cooinda Lodge Team

    Good busy lodge in a great location

    rating03 Oct 2025

    Large busy lodge in the national park. I had a chalet type room. Was very good. And very comfortable with a patio. Pleasant staff. Stayed two days and they serviced the room each day. The restaurant was ok. Some parts excellent such as the fresh squeezed OJ machine at breakfast. But if go at a busy time can be crazy and they had run out of items by then. There is no Wi-Fi in the room. Alain Codino, Owner at Cooinda Lodge Kakadu, responded to this review Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to stay with us.Cooinda Lodge operates in a unique and highly sought after part of Kakadu and that naturally comes with periods of high activity, particularly during peak visitation. Our team works hard to maintain service standards, housekeeping consistency and guest comfort even when volumes are elevated, so it is encouraging to know this was reflected in your stay.Your observations around the dining experience during peak times are acknowledged. Managing demand in a remote destination is an ongoing focus for us and feedback like this supports continuous refinement of our operations.Connectivity is intentionally limited across much of the lodge. Many guests value the opportunity to disconnect and fully engage with the natural environment and cultural setting that surrounds us.We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective and hope to welcome you back in the future.The Cooinda Lodge Team
