We loved the convenience of the pool and dining area in the complex and all the shady trees. But the Studio unit we had needs repair - shower base was unstable, shower head was ready to fall off and screen door kept coming off its runners. Aircon didn't have much effect in the heat of the day around 2pm even on lowest setting.

Costly for a basic room

Few hotels in Jabiru. The cost ofca night was expensive (150€ for 2) for a basic room with toilets and bathroom outside. Check-out time also was far too early (10am). However the swimming pool and its evening restaurant were great.

My friend and I stayed 1 night here and we loved it! The garden is beautiful, we loved the hot tub and sauna and the brekky was fun, though the filtered coffee is way too weak. I left my swimwear in the room and the hotel was super efficient at mailing it back to me. Would definitlely stay here again. The staff were all super friendly and seemed happy to work there, which created a welcoming and warm vibe for the guests.

We stayed in a new cabin, which was well stocked and comfortable. The bistro, bar and swimming pool were beautifully set up, and the perfect finish after hot days of exploring. We loved our stay, and would stay again.

Property was not good value for money, we expected more for the cost. Walk to toilet and shower facilities and the staff never told us there was a semi convenient kitchen available. We only found out when about to leave. Best feature of the town was the Golf Club.
