Reasonable accommodation in Kakadu
Everything was provided as expected in a tourist park. Nothing exceptional but given the isolation of this part of Australia we were well satisfied.

Stayed in an ensuite cabin. It was newly built and was perfect. The pool area is amazing with a beautiful big pool, large grassed area and lots of seating. We ate at the pool bar and the food was amazing.
The young lady who checked us in was lovely but the the other young lady in reception was particularly unhelpful.
Worth visiting the visitor centre and the lake in Jabiru

We loved staying here. The staff at reception were helpful and friendly, there’s a little shop inside reception incase you need shampoo or a snack last minute which was very handy. The cabin was clean and had AC. it’s nothing fancy but this a camping facility.. the pool was great for the kids and the staff at the cafe/restaurant were friendly and provided great service. Jabiru is such a cool little town and it was nice to be so central with lots of things to do if you just drive a little. I hope to return some time!

Not bad, not great.
Convenient location in Kakadu NP. Ant problem on kitchen and dining area when I arrived. No wifi. Dining mediocre. Otherwise, fine, though overpriced for what you get.

Cabin was clean with everything you need for a short stay. Convenient location to explore Kakadu. Nice pool area with bar and restaurant, food was ok. A little over priced for a cabin.
