Kakadu Crocodile Hotel

Kakadu is one of the world's great wilderness destinations, and the Kakadu Crocodile Hotel puts you right in the middle of it. Located in Jabiru, the hotel sits minutes from Bowali Visitor Centre and within easy reach of Ubirr's rock art, Mamukala Wetlands, Cahills Crossing, and Jim Jim and Twin Falls. Cool off in the outdoor pool, browse the Ochre Art Gallery's local Bininj/Mungguy artworks, and unwind in comfortable, air-conditioned rooms. Free parking, free WiFi, laundry facilities, and knowledgeable staff make remote travel effortless. Whether on a three-day escape from Darwin or a full week on Country, the Crocodile Hotel is your culturally connected home base. Dining at the Crocodile Hotel is an adventure in itself. Manjmukmuk Restaurant and Bar — meaning "good food" in Bininj Kunwok — draws inspiration from Kakadu's land and waterways. Start with salt and pepper berry crocodile tail or wild-caught NT barramundi tacos. Mains include pan-seared barramundi in lemongrass beurre blanc, bush-spiced kangaroo fillet with cauliflower and camembert purée, and slow-braised beef cheeks on parmesan polenta. The buffet breakfast — hot dishes, fresh fruit, bakery treats, and unlimited tea and coffee — fuels your day. Come evening, sip a Kakadu Mule or explore the wine list.
