Aurora Kakadu Lodge

Pool, bar/restaurant

Overpriced for off season (December)

Lovely pool and grounds; everything was clean and comfortable. No wifi.

Loved the pool and the trees. The bistro at the pool was really nice and so welcome after a busy day in the heat.We liked the self-contained cabin we had.

Nothing really.

Swimming

Rooms are very small On a serious note the way the price of room is I think owner should think of putting of a/c air conInstead of cooler. Literally it 39 degree and you are there in the room with cooler which is not cool at all . Very very disappointed

Kitchen restaurant

Showers a bit old. No sink in room

After staying here for three nights and looking around the town, I would say this is the pick of the accommodation options in Jabiru and indeed Kakadu National Park. It is a beautifully laid out leafy park centred around a sizeable swimming pool with a licensed bistro set within a tropical garden.We stayed for three nights in a Queen Bungalow with a garden view. It was a modern studio, tastefully furnished, very comfortable and simply equipped but with everything we needed. It had a spacious ensuite bathroom with a great shower. The verandah was the perfect spot for having breakfast before setting off to explore the area.The staff were friendly and helpful and offered good advice on what to see and the best times to do so. The well-maintained park provided a tranquil place to stay and was nice to return to each day. The bistro had really good food, in fact I thought it was the best “pub” food I have ever had. One night I chose the snapper and another the wild caught barramundi. Both were excellent.Something not to miss while staying here are the freshly cooked bagels delivered to the store every morning.

It would be handy to have a small table or shelf on each side of the bed.

Quiet location, excellent bar/bistro, nice to meet our neighbours

Code for gate could be tricky

swimming pool

No Wi-Fi available. We are traveling for 15 months and this is the first time we got accommodations with no wi-fi. If you are traveling foreigner and need to continue future bookings this is a place to avoid.

Pool and Bistro/Bar were fantastic, well stocked office/reception, easy to get around.

Local info folder in the room would've been helpful,

Location was really good and restaurant was great too.

Very expensive for the extremely small rooms with a tiny bathroom that doesn't even have space for toiletries.Linen for the 3rd person wasn't provided either.

The pool was great - enough space in and around the pool, with a great atmosphere with the bar/restaurant.

The shared bathroom and toilets are old and too rustic. And the shared kitchen is quite small, with old and broken equipment . It could be envisaged to have at least 2 pans with a handle and 2 saucepans and/or 2 pots .

Clean.

Staff were not friendly at reception. Did not want to assist with telling us what was open to visit in Kakadu. Food is basic and overpriced and only open for dinner.

- Good location.- Nice restaurant + a large pool.- The park is well maintained.

- Room: small, a bit shabby, shared toilets/bathroom. Quite pricey.- Common areas (kitchen + bathroom) looking old/tired.- The beds are not comfy.

Cheapest place I could find in Jabiru or near Kakadu National Park that wasn't a camping.

Paid about $200 for a night in a room without its own shower or toilet. Had to go outside to the shared shower block. So bad value for money. Apart from that, the room and bed were perfectly comfortable.

We were allowed an early check in that was very helpful

Toilets not clean , old kitchen utensils and lots of flies and mozzies everywhere

Good location for a 1-2 night stay. Nice restaurant and pool area.

Family cabins are old and in need of some updates. Beds and pillows were average. Outdoor verandah are needs cleaning.

The lodge is well located the pool and bistro are central to the resort and great to spend your time at. We stayed in a small cabin which had everything we needed

only negative was bbq facilities were few and far between only 3 for the whole resort.

Reasonable facility

No check-in until after 2pm yet you have to travel so far to the facility, over priced 319 per night and you are expected to do the dishes, it was a long weekend and the resturant was closed, will not be recommending to friends

Location

The room was filthy mold was every where it seemed like no one had cleaned the place for weeks the place was full of flies i am talking 100"s of flies and no fly spray !!! The outside garden setting and deck were covered in mud and also covered in mold I understand that we arrived during the wet season that does not excuse the large puddles of water and mud surrounding our room , the park should have been CLOSED FOR THE WET SEASON !!!!!!!we could not even walk to the rubbish bins that were a mere 10 metres away with out our footwear being covered in mud forget the walk to the pool it was impossible to walk there. Management seem to be milking this place for all its worth without a single thought to the comfort of their guests or up keep of the grounds and amenities

Convenient to local facilities.

Rooms were musty and basic for the price paid. Check in staff were not very welcoming. The ablution block wasn't very clean
