Clean chalets, unfortunately there are ants in the kitchen area. Water leaks out from the shower recess. Otherwise great stay.

Convenient location to Katherine Gorge
Self contained cabin that suited our needs for a 2 night stay to explore Katherine Gorge. Expensive for a basic cabin, but you pay for the convenient location. I can’t comment on the restaurant or pool area as we didn’t use these facilities

Unfortunately, we didn’t have a great checkin experience. We had advised earlier in the day that we would arrive after hours and were given an after hours number. However, a key wasn’t available as arranged and we waited around 40 minutes for a staff member to arrive. I also rang to check on facilities, staff were unable to answer simple questions. We had to ask people in other cabins to assist us as we were unable to use our mobile phones once we left Katherine. We were concerned that our party of four would have nowhere to sleep. So, not great ….
It was so convenient staying here. The staff were very helpful and the two eating venues were very good.

Great location to stay near the Gorge, cabins were comfortable but an issue with ants maybe it would have been good for venue to supply insect spray and a warning.
Very clean cabins. Lovely to be in the national park. Pool and pool bar nice for a hot afternoon.

Great location but.....
Great location however our 2 bedroom cabin was very small. Literally only about 18 inches each side and end of the bed in main room. Bathroom so small you could barely get out when you opened the door. Kitchen adequate but not anything special. Spent most of time on deck where more space. For what they charge per night i would have thought a bit larger.
Location was good so you could walk everywhere from your door.

Very disappointed in our accommodation for the price we don't mind ants on the benches but not in every bed that was slept in waking up to ants crawling all over oneself and my husband has a sleep apnea machine there was know power point near the bed to plug in his machine
We stayed at Nitmiluk Chalets as we had an evening dinner cruise booked down Katherine Gorge.
It was perfect, we were able to walk to the jetty from our chalet, so we could safely enjoy our dinner cruise without the worry of driving afterwards.
The chalet was very clean and well supplied and the bed was very comfortable.
Would be very happy to stay here again
The chalets were very quiet; situated at the far end of the camp ground. Amenities were clean, plenty of room to move & sitting on the deck was very peaceful.
The two bedroom cabin had everything you could want even a small deck with a table and chairs. The property is well laid out and very well kept. You can book a cabin, bring your own caravan, RV or pitch a tent. The facilities for these people is great clean shower blocks, BBQ's and fridges to put your food.
The property's location is excellent to Nitmiluk Gorge, but 29kms from the city centre.
The Visitor Centre also located on site is way better than the one at Jabiru. Great displays with even a resident artist! It also has a cafe offering breakfast and lunch.
So to the disappointing things - we stayed for 4 days and our cabin was never serviced. Also the TV never worked which was noted when we checked in but it never got fixed nor were we offered the option to change cabins and they had some free.
Aside from that we would happily recommend this property to everyone, singles, couples and families.

Old and shabby, holes in the wall even. The cabins are very small. Excellent location for gorges tour and hike to the lookout. Visitors centre is lovely. Note that you cannot get dinner unless you are staying at the Cicada lodge.
We loved our stay. Yes, the cabins are a little dated, however they are immaculately clean with comfy beds and good aircon. The pool is lovely. The accomodation is walking distance from the gorge and the sunset hike was simply stunning. Bring all your own food as the onsite cafe has limited in options (particularly November - April 30) Gorge Tour was also well worth it!
