What's nearby

  • One of the best ways to see Katherine Gorge in the Northern Territory of Australia is to hire a canoe. All up there are 13 gorges but you won't paddle that far. But if you can, make it to gorge number 2 which is awesome!!

Cicada Lodge is simply amazing. The staff are fantastic and so attentive in an understated and non instrusive way. While the dinner menu is quite limited, the food is superb and the service relaxed and efficient. Simply I loved Cicada Lodge and could not recommend it highly enough.

The cabin was nice. To get to them you have to walk on a boardwalk above the ground. I noticed they had ramps so it is wheel chair friendly. The food was very good but very pricey $125pp for 3 course dinner. I had to ask if you were not a big eater what is the alternative. I normally just have an entree but I felt like they would think I was Penny pinching so I ordered a main $60. Didn’t finish it but it was tasty. There are only 3 choices of entree, main & desserts and they don’t change every night in fact possibly not even every week. So if you stay more than 2 nights you may not be happy eating the same meal. There is no where else for dinner so a captured audience .Breakfast was included and good also a pre dinner drink and canapés were included in the room price. We had a nice stay but glad it was only 2 nights. Even 1 would have been ok.
