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.

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.

Overall enjoyed our stay. They had aircon going before our arrival which was lovely and the portacot we requested was all set up. Expensive for the standard of room you get but it's worth it to explore the wonderful sites nearby.

Cooinda was a beautiful clean well kept resort. The lodge we had was really modern and comfortable. Comfy bed and pillows, good air con, fridge, kettle, tea and coffee etc. The resort was big enough to go for a walk in the mornings and a fantastic swimming pool to do laps. The restaurant provided a good breakfast with a good coffee machine, a juicer to make fresh orange juice and a vegetable juicer maker also. The restaurant in the evening also had quality meals from barramundi, steak, pasta, pizzas, seafood etc. The staff throughout the resort were always pleasant and helpful. Really loved our stay here and would highly recommend it.
