It’s important to be clear what this is. Aurora Kakadu is not a hotel – it is a motel with a large number of blocks of serviced rooms. Staff were all very pleasant, friendly and helpful, but everything else seemed a bit hit and miss or full of inconsistencies. For example: the gardens are beautiful, but the buildings look rather...

We had an overnight stop in this hotel and it is truly a magical place! The pool is a great way to cool down after a trip to Ubirr to view the wonderful scenery and the wildlife around the hotel was great....we saw a dingo and several wallabies,a snake was about to devour a lizard and there was a huge...

We always stay at the Aurora Kakadu when we travel into Kakadu National Park. The room is fine, service is always friendly and "down to earth". Its location, next to a billabong is wonderful; the billabong itself was full of bird life, and there is now a short boardwalk out over the water. There is always life at the Aurora,... More

We stayed at Aurora Kakadu as it was the cheapest option for us. We got a dinner, bed and breakfast package for about $160 per night for two people. Our room was large and comfortable, the food was terrific and the service excellent. It was much better than it looked from the front (we had got petrol there on previous... More

I have stayed here on two occasions and it served its purpose. A swim to cool down after a long day, a decent feed and a good night sleep. The rooms are a decent size, beds comfy and aircon nice and cold. Yes, as mentioned in previous reviews there are mozzies, you may see a gecko on the wall, a... More

Two things saved this venue: the pool and a great chef in the kitchen! Rooms and other decor were from the '70's, some areas in need of a bit of paint, however it was the only decent stop on the rd to Darwin. Room had a musty smell, wanted to sit outside with a late afternoon cocktail but only had... More

The room was small and overfurnished. The old polyester sheets were clean, but had a strange smell. The vinyl floor was pretty grubby. The large bathroom had a strange sort of plastic shower recess over a little bath, with shower curtain and nothing to hold on to get in and out. I suppose, there's not much of a choice around...
