Cooinda Lodge Kakadu

The facilities are nice and well located to all the tours and sites that are important in Kakadu. Mimi’s restaurant had very good food as well. Our deluxe tent was well appointed and clean.

The highlight of our stay, if not our trip, was the sunrise yellow water tour. It was easily the best tour we’ve ever been on - in part because of the unbelievable beauty of the waterways and wildlife, but largely from the generous and insightful knowledge of our tour guide, Adam. His warm sense of humour and respect for the cultural significance of the country really made it a great experience. We also had dinner at Mimi’s which was delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I was pleasantly surprised by the availability of plant based options as someone vegetarian and dairy-free. The store also had alternative milks and vegan ice cream. The room we stayed in was simple and thoughtfully designed, and very comfortable (aside from the few rogue spiders).

It's in a lovely location in Kakadu Park which is in the middle of nowhere. It's right next to Yellow Water Billabong which is perfect for taking the dawn cruise on the wetlands which is a must. The restaurant is great with a delicious breakfast including fresh juice (orange, carrot, ginger, beetroot - you make your own), fruit, yogurt, bread, eggs/bacon etc. Dinner was also good and they have some 'local' food like barramundi, croc burgers and kangaroo steaks. We stayed in an eco tent which had a very comfy bed and kettle for coffee, fridge, a/c etc. My husband was annoyed the wifi didn't reach the room but I was happy! We used the shared bathroom facilities which were very good - clean and with towels and soap provided.

Comfortable glamping experience, with good choice of restaurants on site. Convenient location with yellow water sunset cruise being a highlight.

Great location. We stayed in a glamping cabin, quiet, comfortable, beautiful view of the forest from our cabin (outside row), nicely appointed. Good aircon and fans. Communal shower and toilet block clean and nice toiletries, paths lit overnight, so easy to get around. Lovely staff. Restaurant well misted with water mist to keep down mosquitoes, I actually wasn't bitten, which is unusual! Bar and restaurant nice. Didn't get to use the pool unfortunately, but it looked nice. Could recommend taking a yellow water cruise, and a 4WD tour with Never Never Safari Tours. So much beauty to see near to Cooinda, including Nourlangie Rock Art.
