    Lack of breakfast and lunch options given the rooms are not self contained. Lack of information on meal options before or on arrival. No where to sit in the room except on the bed. Had to bring outdoor furniture inside.

    Good Bistro and restaurant for evening meals. Good size room. Air conditioning and fans. Nice grounds and pools. Yellow water cruise was great.

    Rooom was fantastic. Well appointed and comfortable. I preferred the lagoon pool which had fewer people and it presented as cleaner.

    Booked a family room but the actual room looks so much smaller than the pictures. It was very crowded and not much space for us to walk around and place the luggages. The bed sheet and pillow was very thin. The bathroom was so tiny and not 100% clean.

    Location is good. Better condition than camping for sure. Had air conditioner inside the room.

    Rooms were in the small side, hard for a family of four with bags! Bathroom was also snug but the shower leaked dreadfully.

    This is a very special location! Staying at a lodge in the middle of Kakadu is unique! So this outweighs relatively basic accommodation options (for a family) and moderately expensive food. We travelled in April, so before “Dry” season. A lot of the park is not accessible during Wet and the lodge similarly offers reduced dining options—food was expensive! Understandably (so remote!), but the lack of options during our stay maybe exacerbated that. That said, buffet breakfast was brilliant! & make sure to ask for the kids menu!

    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

    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.
