Cooinda Lodge Kakadu Hotel 3 stars

We are fortunate enough to be on a road trip from Brisbane to Perth via the NT. I wanted to introduce my partner to Kakadu National Park where the yellow waters cruise. In the past I’ve stayed at the crocodile hotel but this time we chose Carinda Lodge with a very good package of Glamping bed and breakfast on the cruise. I was very impressed with your accommodation and all the amenities. The staff were most helpful and the quality vegan meal we had at the restaurant a true surprise.

My only complaint is that the Ac was not very efficient. When the staff were made aware of my suspicions they changed my room. I believe the cleaning staff would have been aware of the problem and reported it prior to arrival.

The campgrounds and communal blocks were well cared for, delicious food at the restaurant, fantastic service all round from staff. Only downfall was other peoples kids up at 5am screaming and playing (which is totally fine, but rough at 5am when they kept waking our baby who made minimal noise the whole trip).

I booked and paid for 3 nights. I checked out 1 night early. I recognise the policy of the lodge is no refund if check out 1 night early. From a goodwill perspective I would have thought in the current climate I might have got a refund given I am trying to support tourism in NT.

Our accommodation was good. And location for excursions was excellent. However the price of a glass of wine at $22 for a mediocre red was excessive and when this was commented on to staff, the reply that we were in an isolated area was not suitable. Also a lack of even basic cutlery or plates in the room was disappointing. Also the lack of a comfortable chair to sit in on the verandah or in the room left no option but to sit on the bed.

Loved the pool after a hot day, restaurant was tasty. Room was adequate but could do with a refresh.

Most tours begin from here - convenient. Adequate facilities, clean, two restaurants, buffet breakfast and friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Awesome set out grounds. Lovely Pools. Great meals.

We really enjoyed our stay at Cooinda it was very relaxing in the very hot afternoon to chill in our room and there is so much to see and do in the area it is so centrally located.

it was the first camping trip with our baby and toddler and it was made so smooth by the great facilities, location and hospitality of the staff. The on-site shop and petrol station also made life easy plus the clean and central bathroom block. My only gripe would be the price and quality of the restaurant food. My steak was definitely frozen and the schnitzel was clearly not house-made. Wouldn’t matter if they didn’t come at a hefty price tag (+$40 for the steak).

3 night stay sunrise cruise, one hour flight, buffet breakfast, unpowered site

Helpful staff...great restaurants....good amenities

Clean, modern, new facilities. Appropriate for NT experience. Not too fancy but comfortable enough. The outstanding food has to be mentioned. We have travelled all over the world. Children’s meals are always the lowest quality. The children’s fish at your lodge was healthy and contained vegetables! Congratulations to the chef!

What a pleasant surprise when we arrived and saw how lovely Cooinda Lodge was. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. They made us feel very welcome. Our unit was nicely set up with a large comfortable bed. We received complimentary welcome drinks and the Accor discount on all meals whilst there, with the meals being delicious and of ample size. The lodge is close to the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre and Yellow Water. Altogether a delightful stay. I made our booking through a travel website as I did not realise that Cooinda Lodge was an Accor hotel until after I had booked.

Great location for exploring Kakadu. Room was very Comfortable, good size and clean. Staff at checkin were very friendly. Great meals. with lots of choices. Relaxing swimming pool after a day of travelling.
