This quirkily designed hotel actually has the shape of a crocodile from the outside and is set in the midst of Kakadu National Park.
Its air conditioned rooms overlook a central courtyard, where a shaded swimming pool and recreational area provides a relaxing space for guests to enjoy when not out exploring. The hotel offers a good range of facilities for such a remote location, as well as plenty of free on-site parking.
OUR OPINION:
This is a fairly simple but comfortable and clean property, with a great location to discover Kakadu National Park and Yellow River.
