Not bad, not great.

Convenient location in Kakadu NP. Ant problem on kitchen and dining area when I arrived. No wifi. Dining mediocre. Otherwise, fine, though overpriced for what you get.

We loved staying here. The staff at reception were helpful and friendly, there’s a little shop inside reception incase you need shampoo or a snack last minute which was very handy. The cabin was clean and had AC. it’s nothing fancy but this a camping facility.. the pool was great for the kids and the staff at the cafe/restaurant were friendly and provided great service. Jabiru is such a cool little town and it was nice to be so central with lots of things to do if you just drive a little. I hope to return some time!
