Our stay was during the wet, off-season so we did not have the property when it was at its best. However, the staff were very friendly but dining options were very limited - especially for me as a vegetarian - and the place had a slight overall shabbiness which means it’s a 3 overall from me.

It's the location from where the Yellow Water cruises depart from so that is very convenient. This lodge also has a shop and fuel bowsers. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about Kakadu NP.

Cooinda was a beautiful clean well kept resort. The lodge we had was really modern and comfortable. Comfy bed and pillows, good air con, fridge, kettle, tea and coffee etc. The resort was big enough to go for a walk in the mornings and a fantastic swimming pool to do laps. The restaurant provided a good breakfast with a good coffee machine, a juicer to make fresh orange juice and a vegetable juicer maker also. The restaurant in the evening also had quality meals from barramundi, steak, pasta, pizzas, seafood etc. The staff throughout the resort were always pleasant and helpful. Really loved our stay here and would highly recommend it.

Great location especially as taking 645am yellow river cruise. Friendly staff, great place to come back too after a day out exploring the region. Only downside was the condition of our room which was quickly rectified once raised with staff.

Overall enjoyed our stay. They had aircon going before our arrival which was lovely and the portacot we requested was all set up. Expensive for the standard of room you get but it's worth it to explore the wonderful sites nearby.

A bit over priced!

The hotel rooms are situated in a beautiful garden setting. Due to remote location, the room and restaurant prices were the most expensive where we have visited in NT. For the price we paid, the room was very basic. Small bathroom sink, leaky shower , no indoor sitting area or sitting space at all. However, the outdoor sitting was pleasant. The room is clean, not big but with comfortable beds, instant coffee and tea bags.

It was not revealed to us at time of booking. No toilet or hand basin in unit. For over $470 for one nights use with a check in time of 3pm with check out at 10am this does not equal a full day. Toilet facilities were a walk through leaf covered grounds during the night with a faulty key pad at the amenities block. Overall a very disappointing booking and stay.
