For a quiet time of year, they looked after us. Unfortunately the boat ramp was closed. The staff made an extra effort to accommodate our preferences even tho the Wotif notes didn’t come through on our booking. So Wotif was the only let down, however it was cheaper then booking direct.

Loved the natural beauty of the property. The room was very clean and comfortable. There was a missing remote for the TV. We did report this to the front desk.

I stayed at the glamping tent. It’s actually pretty nice, and the shared bathroom facilities were well above the standards i,ve experienced. It’s just that the property is in a monopoly situation so is very expensive for what you get. There is only one dining option in Cooinda and that’s in the lodge’s restaurant or bar - and both are average tasting while very much over-priced.

We enjoyed our stay at Cooinda Lodge. The proximity to the Yellow Waters cruise and the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre was very convenient for an older couple. The drive to Nourlangie Rock and Anbangbang billabong was a bit far but worth the drive. Being unused to the heat, the pools were a very welcome respite.
