Relaxing Stay in the Heart of Kakadu Cooinda Lodge is in a fantastic location—perfect for exploring the beauty of Kakadu National Park. We really enjoyed the good food on offer and loved spending time on the deck, which was a peaceful spot to unwind and take in the surroundings. A great base for a relaxing and nature-filled getaway!

The main restaurant was excellent and the room was comfortable but we would have prefered one with its own bathroom ( that could be my booking online error though)

A marvellous property in the national park. Simply a great to stay there, so close to the waterways and forest. I loved my stay - everything very special (in the off season too!(
BRIDGET, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.

It was a great stay. because we were there at the end off season we did not have many dining options which was a shame. Overall very happy and very central to all that Kakadu has to offer.

Lorraine, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Ive stayed at Cooinda Lodge twice now & will stay there again next time i visit the NT. Its close to Yellow Water Billabong & there's loads of wildlife in the area which us the main reason I head to Kakadu.
Antony Dean, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

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.
Brett, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

The air-conditioned lodges were very nice with an outdoor sitting area for each one. It was convenient to the Yellow River cruises when we visited in April. The main pool was noisy and meant for families, while there was limited seating at the smaller, quieter pool. The main restaurant, Mimi’s, served wonderful food for dinner, but the hot breakfast there was outrageously priced. At the outdoor restaurant, the food was just ok and they took advantage of the remote location by charging us $18 for a pint of beer. The Margherita pizza had no basil on it, just the dried herb. Staff at the shop/tour kiosk were very nice, although our room wasn’t ready at check in time and we had to chase down the staff member who had promised to call us when it was. Overall though, a good place to stay in Kakadu.
David, 2-night trip

Anya, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The pool area was fantastic. Rooms were fairly good although lacked some basic facilities such as utensils and plates to use with the BBQ's
Brendon, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
