Relaxing Stay in the Heart of Kakadu Cooinda Lodge is in a fantastic location—perfect for exploring the beauty of Kakadu National Park.

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.
