Costly for a basic room
Few hotels in Jabiru. The cost ofca night was expensive (150€ for 2) for a basic room with toilets and bathroom outside. Check-out time also was far too early (10am). However the swimming pool and its evening restaurant were great.

Cabin was clean with everything you need for a short stay. Convenient location to explore Kakadu. Nice pool area with bar and restaurant, food was ok. A little over priced for a cabin.

My friend and I stayed 1 night here and we loved it! The garden is beautiful, we loved the hot tub and sauna and the brekky was fun, though the filtered coffee is way too weak. I left my swimwear in the room and the hotel was super efficient at mailing it back to me. Would definitlely stay here again. The staff were all super friendly and seemed happy to work there, which created a welcoming and warm vibe for the guests.

We stayed in a new cabin, which was well stocked and comfortable. The bistro, bar and swimming pool were beautifully set up, and the perfect finish after hot days of exploring. We loved our stay, and would stay again.

Property was not good value for money, we expected more for the cost. Walk to toilet and shower facilities and the staff never told us there was a semi convenient kitchen available. We only found out when about to leave. Best feature of the town was the Golf Club.

Basic , but nice enough. Very overpriced
Beautiful area, but the price is high for what you get ( $230 AUS) for a basic room without a bathroom and without wifi. You are paying for proximity to the park and you are paying a hefty price for that.

It was definitely cheaper than other accommodation but very run down / tired. The shared bathroom was not clean and the shared camp kitchen was very dirty and no doubt never cleaned. I assume management were relying on the guests to keep the area clean which wasn’t going to happen. The room needed better blinds to make the room more private ( if the light was on and the blinds down, guests could still see in.) The room only had one side table and very few power points. When you are paying exorbitant rates just to stay a few nights, I would expect the property to be in better condition. Lastly, the pool was quite dirty so I decided not to take a swim.
