The staff were nice, but very inexperienced. Looked like a lot of backpackers getting jobs. Not very enthusiastic about working and in my opinion poorly managed. Yellow water cruise was a highlight with excellent staff.

Beautiful and friendly staff also great food and location
Stayed in a studio cabin - no kitchenette, just the usual tiny half fridge. The bed was comfortable, room clean. The resort is nice although they don't light the pools after dark. No wifi in cabins, only bar area. Good place for Kakadu (compared to others there).
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!(
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!
Amazing place , stayed in one of tge lodges. Great room with everything we needed. The bar bistro was great with lovely food
Staff we extremely friendly. So happy we stayed. Highly recommend
Great stay! One of our top 2 accommodations of our whole trip. Bit pricy, but it is worth it! Great atmosphere and also the restaurant is amazing. Next time we would like to stay more than 2 nights.
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.
Perfect safari tents, lovely staff, beautiful location. Great pools

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.
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)
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.
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.
