Driving from Darwin is straightforward via the Arnhem Highway, the main road into Kakadu. The trip typically takes 2–3 hours to Jabiru, 3–4 hours to Cooinda. Along the way, we recommend stopping at the Mamukala Wetlands or visiting the Bowali Visitor Centre near Jabiru to purchase your Parks Pass and pick up information on the region.
If you're searching for a 4WD vehicle or a 4WD Campervan, be sure to check out Adventure Rentals!

Fly into Darwin International Airport, then continue your journey to Kakadu. The Mercure Kakadu Crocodile Hotel is located in Jabiru, approximately a 3-hour drive from Darwin. You’ll need to hire a car or join a tour from Darwin to reach the hotel.

🌿 The best adventures are worth the journey. Getting to Gunlom is a great adventure in itself... but reaching the spectacular natural infinity pool makes every step worthwhile. 💦☀️
There’s something pretty special about slowing down, finding a spot on the rocks and simply soaking up the beauty of Kakadu together.

Ever wondered what a stay at Cooinda Lodge actually looks like? Swipe through and see for yourself.
👉 You'll arrive at our village-style resort beside Yellow Water Billabong, find a park with ease, check in, and grab a few snacks from the store (and the obligatory Croc kitchen mitt - a crowd pleaser), before wandering through the leafy grounds to your accommodation. Then it's time to settle into whichever stay suits you best - comfortable, air-conditioned Lodge Rooms with their own ensuite; Outback Retreats, our safari-style canvas tents with handcrafted furniture, Aboriginal artwork, and ensuites; or, for something truly special, a Yellow Water Villa with its own private bathtub on the veranda. And yes we have a campground too with pop-up tents (everything is supplied), along with powered and unpowered sites.
However you like to travel, there's a spot for you here. 🧡
