Nice lodge in the wilderness

MarthaB391 Couples - 3/7/2025 TripAdvisor review

This is a really nice lodge with separate cabins that are very comfortable. A chair in the room might be nice though. Such a beautiful setting in the forest with all the birds and animals calling at dawn and dusk. I wish they didn’t have so many lights outdoors but I guess they have to for safety’s sake. Pools are great for cooling off. We were there at the end of the Wet so it was extremely hot and humid—great to have a pool. It would be great if more Indigenous people could be employed instead of European backpackers. But I guess that’s how it works.

Thank you Martha for taking the time to share your experience. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the comfort of our lodge, the natural setting, and the unique sounds of Kakadu’s wildlife. The pools are certainly a refreshing escape, especially during the warmer months ! We appreciate your suggestion regarding room seating and will take it into consideration as we look at ways to enhance guest comfort. Regarding outdoor lighting, we do try to balance safety with preserving the natural atmosphere, and your feedback is helpful as we continue refining this approach. We recognize the importance of increasing Indigenous employment and are continuously working on initiatives to support and engage with the local community. This remains a priority for us, and we appreciate your perspective. We hope to welcome you back for another stay in Kakadu ! Best regards, The Cooinda Lodge Kakadu Team

Average accommodation for the price

nuriaMelbourne 2/1/2025 TripAdvisor review

We are locals and take people to Kakadu all the time. Went to book the Territory Tourist Bureau special and was redirected to the hotel site which assured "best price guaranteed" - not the case and there were quite a few people staying over the long weekend that similarly got ripped off. Irrespective of whether it is a tourism subsidy or not, best price guaranteed should be exactly what it said and the link that was meant to take us to the cheaper prices didn't work. A number of us were told we would get a response from general manager - this did not happen for me until the week after. Accommodation was not great - we have a covered patio area but our friends who paid the same price did not. None of the rooms had desks or anywhere to sit apart from the bed or the plastic chairs outside. Towels were a bit light on, no bath mat and no face washers. The single beds are tiny and the mattresses are awful - not suitable for adults. Some of our friends stay in the tent rooms and found that the promised kitchen facilities consisted of one toaster, one microwave and no hotplates. There was a queue for the toaster in the morning. Will be staying at the Croc in future.

Thank you Nuria for your feedback. We regret to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, particularly regarding pricing and accommodation amenities. We acknowledge your concerns about the Tourism Top End special and the price guarantee. We always strive to provide transparent and competitive rates, and we apologise for any confusion or delays in communication. Regarding the shared facilities, we acknowledge your concerns about the setup and availability of kitchen amenities in the common areas. While the tent rooms are designed for a more immersive nature experience, we understand that access to additional cooking options could improve convenience. We’ll take this feedback into account as we look at ways to enhance our facilities for future guests. We’re sorry to hear that you’ll be choosing alternative accommodation in the future, but we do appreciate your time in sharing your experience, as it helps us refine our offerings. Should you reconsider visiting Cooinda Lodge, we’d love the opportunity to provide you with a much-improved stay. Best regards, The Cooinda Lodge Kakadu Team

Perfect get away not far from home : Darwin in the wet season.

ChrisTaylerNT Families - 12/28/2024 TripAdvisor review

We stayed for 3 nights as a short get away after Christmas. Our room was very comfortable and clean. We were a group of 7, 4 adults and 3 children. Therefore we had booked 2 rooms. The staff here were the best, so delightful and helpful. We had breakfast and dinner in the restaurant each day and wow the breakfast choices were amazing and so delicious. The swimming pool was such a relaxing experience for all ages. The yellow waters tour just lovely with so much wildlife we did the early morning trip. We went to one of the loo outs not far from our accommodations. We have been here several times but this trip was extra special because of the staff and the amazing food. The store is also well stocked from essentials like food, ice and souvenirs such as Tshirt. I would highly recommend a visit here especially in the off season.

Thank you Chris for your kind words and for choosing Cooinda Lodge for your post-Christmas getaway. It’s great to hear that our team made your visit extra special with their hospitality and that you enjoyed the dining experience. The early morning Yellow Water Cruise is a fantastic way to experience Kakadu’s wildlife, and we’re glad you had the chance to do so. We also appreciate your mention of the convenience of our store and the relaxing atmosphere of the pool. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for another stay in the future ! Best regards, The Cooinda Lodge Kakadu Team
