Although resort is a bit dated, the rooms are very comfy and roomy. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Dinner buffet was excellent. We were looking for something simple after having a large breakfast, so had the buffet rather than A La Carte. But every dish was excellent and well above what you expect from a buffet style menu. Also had great breakfast and we didn't eat all the next day. I don't normally dwell on food but this was a real plus for this property.

After a day out in the heat the hotels pool was great for an afternoon refresh. We enjoyed the quality food in the restaurant of an evening and the air conditioner together with a separate dehumidifer made time in the room comfortable.

We really enjoyed our stay here - the beds were super comfortable and the evening food in the restaurant was great. The bathroom could do with an upgrade but otherwise would recommend this as a great place to stay in kakadu.
