It was a very clean and pretty modern cabin (queen deluxe i think) with everything you need apart from a cooktop. But the restaurant on site was good for dinner, nothing special but your average sort of pub meals. Great location to base from to go to all the Kakadu sites.

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
