Great location, comfortable bed, shower was small but great pressure and temperature, other than the pizza the food was very good esp the fish and chips from the food truck. Tours left from in front of lodge, lots of different tours, the store carried almost everything you need (except long sleeve shirts which I needed and forgot to pack for hiking). Room was attractive (we stayed in the family lodge room) , fresh towels when needed etc. , great bar in the restaurant, breakfast buffet was good (I loved the pancake maker but found the scrambled eggs runny)

I found the food to be about twice what I was expecting to pay. I know they have to bring everything by truck and Australia is kind of expensive anyway but yeah....I would suggest buying snacks, wine etc. before coming if that is a concern . Mostly I wish there was wifi in the rooms but they had it in the restaurant so honestly it was fine not be connected 24/7.

We had a very comfortable stay at Cooinda Lodge in one of their glamping eco tents. Our eco tent was beautifully furnished and had a large and comfortable bed and air conditioning. We had a shared bathroom facility, but it was the cleanest, nicest shared bathroom that we have had to use with towels, facecloths and bathmats in stock for use. The shared amenity block also had complimentary access to a very good clothes washing machine and dryer which was helpful. From what we could see, Cooinda Lodge is the central hub in Kakadu and where you want to be! It has two restaurants to choose from, a great pool and playground area, a petrol station and store for top-ups. Cooinda is also the departure point for the Yellow Water River tours (an absolute must!), so not far to go for that 6:20am sunrise wildlife tour! We found Cooinda Lodge a very convenient location to base ourselves and the staff did everything they could to make our stay comfortable and to help us with our bookings and sightseeing recommendations. We would definately stay again and would reccomend Cooinda to others.

Great location to experience the wonders of Kakadu National Park. I thought it was a much better option than staying in Jabiru. Stayed in one of the lodges with own ensuite - very expensive, but I guess it's location, location. Friendly, helpful staff, bar, restaurants, two swimming pools, small superette, tour desk, laundry facilities. Recommend the Yellow Water River Cruise at 4.30pm for 2 hours - saw amazing birdlife and lots of crocodiles, beautiful sunset. Also recommend driving to Nourlangi Boulders, Ubirr and the 60 minute flight over the Kakadu was fabulous. Loved it.

I highly recommend this property but just be prepared to pay higher prices than you normally would for accommodation, food and beverages - it's location is remote, so that's what you're paying for.

. The pools were nice. It was convenient and provided access to Kakadu.

They rooms were small and basic. The amenities were lacking - no coffee pod machines. Basic decor, which didn’t make it feel particularly special in view of the price. The large numbers of guests also made it feel very impersonal and this was reflected in the food and amenities. One night, we couldn’t even get a table for dinner and eventually took our meals back to our room. We also found ourselves queuing for things like morning coffee, access to seats by the pool, reception etc. This suggests that guest numbers are currently exceeding capacity.

The best beds ever, like laying on a cloud. We stayed in an eco tent. They don't have bathrooms, so you do have to walk to the amenity block. It was extremely clean and well looked after. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower block were lovely. The staff were so good, gave us all of the tips for a great holiday Food at the Bistro although pricey, was excellent.

If you need to get up during the night, ask for a tent close to the amenity block, we were in number 10, which was a short walk, but it seems further in the middle of the night!!! Definitely will get the ensuite tent when we come back!!!

The pool. Bistro was great.

Very noisy with work being done around. Given it's exclusivity for Kakadu Park, I was dismayed, when after very late rain closed many of the attractions, the hotel was not prepared to meet us half way with a refund for the 2nd night we had booked. We explained we had been in the park 4 days already and nothing left that we were able to do there. Staff sympathetic but hotel policy is 21 days notice or lose it. Poor policy for this type of hotel in my opinion.

Lovely experience at Cooinda, best sleep for a long time. The glamping Villa was very well fitted out and the bed is luxurious. I enjoyed a bath on the deck and the airy bush views when canvas windows were unzipped. Quiet at night, and very convenient to the fabulous Yelliw Water sunrise cruise.

There is a toaster, kettle, bar fridge & pod machine, but no way to heat dinner in the Villa, no microwave. I think it's a bit much to tell people to walk to the campground 'kitchen' at this 'high end' price point. And I suggest breakfast should be included at the price point for the Villa.

Location is great, eco tents are set in a lovely bush area surrounded by birds. Early morning wake up was lovely. Beds amazing. Room had great air con, fridge. Walking distance to the Yellow Water billabong.

No running water in room at all which is extremely frustrating considering how outrageously expensive this place was. No ensuite (which we knew) but then no hot water for 24 hours...until we complained and the Duty Manager found the maintenance guy to change the gas bottle. You'd think that would be a daily check. For over $500 a night we shouldn't have to wander around a camp ground searching for a hot shower.

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 outdoor patio space blared an AUS sports game with extreme bass on the speakers at top volume until after 10 PM. Being visitors who are not sports fans, we didn’t appreciate having to listen to it for the $$$ we were paying. The next night a very sad country musician performed who barely had a pulse. He seemed to be a regular act. The service vehicles drive around the grounds starting very early in the morning and they disrupt what could be a more peaceful environment.

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).

The buffet breakfast, although delicious and with an impressive array of foods and condiments presented beautifully, was cold when we got there at 9:15am. The dinner servings were also on the smaller side so we ordered an extra side after it arrived, but I think this is to be expected when you’re eating gourmet food in the middle of a national park in one of the most remote parts of Australia.
