    Very expensive for the room you got . Breakfast should have been included when paying $400 a night . Same food in both restaurant and bar

    Nice set out resort . Nice toiletries in room Good food truck ( separate from restaurant) selling fish meals Handy for Alligator cruise

    1.The cost though it’s understandable considering its location 2. More lighting around the chalets 3. Dining was too ‘rough and ready’ -dishes not cleared at breakfast

    A nice but expensive overnight stay in the middle of Kakadu Park. The quality is actually better than accommodation in Jabiru, so the price is justified.

    It is pretty pricey to stay here but at the end of the day that was our choice.

    We stayed 2 nights at Cooinda. Our room was big, clean and the beds comfy. The facilities were also pretty good - 2 restaurants with bar, big and lovely pool area with waterfall, walking tracks, bbq areas and laundry room which was useful. If taking the Yellow river cruise (which I recommend as it was amazing) they have free shuttle buses to and from the resort.

    Expensive room. Prefer solid soap as it saves on water.

    Great location as Yellow Water cruise (an absolutely "must do" in Kakadu) leaves from here. Comfortable, quiet room.

    The television didn’t work well. Changing channels needed staff involvement.

    We liked the location, especially close to Yellow Water. Liked the facilities- store, fuel, restaurant- all on site.

    The air conditioner didn’t work so the tent was very hot. It looked like it was working on the remote but we didn’t realise until the last late afternoon. We were offered another tent but it was almost dark by then and too late to move.

    Great location and staff. Food in restaurant was very good. Pool area and gardens very well kept.

    Very overpriced for what is a basic motel room. You are paying for the convenience of the location near the river cruises

    It's a great location to stay at if you have booked the Yellow Water cruises..Very convenient.Room is comfortable but no toaster or plates, bowls, cutlery if you want to make your own breakfast

    Nothing! All good. Sharing a shower and toilet block was a bit strange, but it was absolutely fine in the end. Very clean and well looked after, so no bother at all.

    Wow! We didn't realise we had booked glamping, but what a pleasant surprise! The kids were in one 'tent' and we were in an adjacent one. The accommodation was amazing. The air-con was very welcome too. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the food was superb. It was a super base for our couple of days in Kakadu, with a Yellow Water Cruise on the first night and then trips to Ubirr and Nourlangie on the second day on the way back to Darwin.
