Luxury Eco Accommodation in Kakadu

Kakadu has introduced its most luxurious, eco-sensitive accommodation with the launch of Yellow Water Villas in an exclusive area of Cooinda Lodge’s grounds, adjacent to the region’s most famous natural water habitat, Yellow Water Billabong (Ngurrungurrudjba). Nestled under a rich canopy of trees, each of the Yellow Water Villas balances luxury with a commitment to environmental sustainability. They are built on stilts to minimise impact on the land, as the preservation of country is a key priority of Murumburr Traditional Owners.

Luxury Features

A re-imagination of the tactile textures and resilient nature of the vast billabong landscape is captured throughout the interiors, with raw materials – reclaimed native timbers, earthen clay, ageing brass and woven plant-dyed grass fibres.

Each of the five luxury villas have a bathtub on the large veranda outside, with a completely air-conditioned interior. The ensuite bathroom, dining area and lounge area with daybeds make our villas the perfectly comfortable base for your Kakadu adventure.

Connect to Culture

Each Yellow Water Villa is named after a native Indigenous animal of the Kakadu region, themed throughout with personal stories of the local Murumburr community – from the pillows to the interior decorations. Artworks and decorations have been sourced from local Bininj (Aboriginal) artists as well as the famed Marrawuddi Art Gallery in Jabiru.

These artworks share personal stories about the local Bininj community, their culture and their Dreamtime. They are part of the oldest living culture in the world, having coexisted harmoniously with these lands for over 65,000 years.
