Stayed in a studio cabin - no kitchenette, just the usual tiny half fridge. The bed was comfortable, room clean. The resort is nice although they don't light the pools after dark. No wifi in cabins, only bar area. Good place for Kakadu (compared to others there).

Great location especially as taking 645am yellow river cruise. Friendly staff, great place to come back too after a day out exploring the region. Only downside was the condition of our room which was quickly rectified once raised with staff.
