Signage on Eco lodges needs to be more obvious when it’s dark - we & several others waisted time looking for ours when returning in dark after cruise, as they are somewhat randomly placed & all loo alike

2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay at Cooinda Lodge was excellent. The only downside was that glamping tents were not fitted with bathrooms. This would great enhance the experience. Otherwise very good.
Tim, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Lots of conveniences and a great starting point for lots of activities in Kakadu.
MICHAEL, 1-night trip

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.
