The hotel rooms were expensive and not worth the price paid, very much out-dated, and in urgent need of renovation due to the vast number of rooms they have. The service, although friendly and helpful, at times seemed overworked. The location was excellent but lacked shade and had noise issues. The dining experience was good, but with some limitations. The facilities were basic and functional.

The hotel is conveniently located in Jabiru, making it a great base for exploring Kakadu National Park. The rooms are unremarkable, and some issues with dampness and mold were present, which impacted the overall experience. The service was fantastic, especially from the Food & Beverage team, although there were minor lapses in attention to detail. The location offers easy access to tours in the area but could be tidier. The dining experience was a mix of freshly cooked dishes and limited buffet options. The facilities are adequate, but improvements could enhance the guest experience.

7.2/10

The hotel is situated in a remote location, providing relief from the sun overhead in a unique crocodile-shaped building. The permanent indigenous artwork exhibition and friendly staff add to the charm, but the standard of amenities must be appreciated given its setting. The dining experience offers good food options, although the buffet selection can be limited.

Rooms

The room I stayed in had some issues like ants, peeling paint, and a musty smell, making it slightly uncomfortable. Additionally, the entrance door had a gap with no seal. Not ideal.
