    Rooms were quite small for a family of 4, showers were average and leaked. It was end of wet season so lots of bugs (not their fault). Couldn’t eat in outdoor restaurant without being inundated with bugs. Food was overpriced aswell

    Pool was great, reception area and close to cruise

    Tent was great, first time glamping. Very comfortable, and nice temperature with the sides down.

    The shared bathroom in the glamping area didn’t get properly cleaned. After mentioning it at the front office, they gave me drink vouchers because they weren’t able to send a cleaning team back in that same day. I appreciated it, but would have preferred clean toilets instead. Also, it was really loud in the mornings as they started working around the tent area with heavy machines early on..

    The glamping tents are beautifully furnished. They are located only a short walking distance to where the Yellow Billabong Cruise starts (in the wet season). Also the staff was very nice during my stay.

    Plastic water bottles in the fridge. It’s nice that they give Complimentary water, but plastic is destroying the world, so maybe a jug of water in the fridge would be a nicer solution. Word of warning that the tap water isn’t drinkable. It would be nice if that was made clear on the website so people can be prepared.

    It was simple but well done. I liked the fact that the toiletries were refillable bottles. They even had a couple of small cartons of milk in the fridge. Lots of choice of tea, which was nice. The bed was also comfortable.

    Direction signs making it easier to find Reception and the excellent bar and restaurant on arrival and when walking from our rooms. But it's a struggle to find anything wrong with Coinda Lodge. We loved it.

    Super accomodation right next to the Yellow Water Cruise. The lodge room that we had was well fitted and comfortable. This is a great place to stay!

    There is no wifi in the rooms so you have no way to communicate with anyone besides your travel partners, so not suitable if traveling for work. The food is very expensive and only okay, but this is common in remote Australia.

    The room was clean and there were no cockroaches, which is impressive in such a warm part of Australia. They had a nice looking pool and a large shop. The room was large, comfortable, and cold.
