The food was disappointing given we paid $125 head. I had cured ocean trout which was well presented but nothing great. The main was barramundi and it was overcooked and bland. The dessert was a panna cotta which had way too much gelatine. The service was also disappointing, with our wine not filled, my plates taken while my husband was still eating and we had difficulty getting the waiter’s attention. The young woman waitress who did not serve us from the Philippines and was delightful. When we booked put table we explained about dietary requirements but these were ignored when we arrived. A completely disappointing experience.

We spent 2 nights, interrupted by a 3-days’ canoeing tour, in this beautiful lodge. A large room with all luxury needed. And what a restaurant! Fine dining with wonderful menus and good wines. Definitely a place to go!

i can't rate this place highly enough. The staff are amazing and worked tirelessly to do evyerthng to assist our groups stay. There was NOTHING that they wouldn't do to help, and they did it with a smile, grace and professionalism. Special mention to Jekah and Jake who were amazing. The rooms are clean, airy, amongst the trees and so comfortable. Food amazing and the surrounds just wonderful. Thank you for sharing your land Jarwoyn People.

Great to be immersed in the bush but with all the comforts of home on hand. The staff were, without exception, friendly and professional. The food was delicious and it was lovely to eat out on the deck by the pool and under the stars. The rooms were very comfortable and nothing was wanting.

The best accomodation of our NT trip. And the meal was the best I have had in my 51 years!!! Callum and Tyler were outstanding hosts. Very attentive, accomodating and professional…and we even got to meet the chef and get a pic. Congratulations on an outstanding service. Well worth the money!

From the moment we were checked in by the amazing Satine, with a welcome drink, we knew that we had found the perfect accomodation in Katherine Gorge. The rooms were comfortable and luxurious. Included in the room rate was breakfast, and canapés at 6pm. The chef, Lisa Mahar created an outstanding dining experience, every dish from breakfast, the canapés, to the al a carte menu was delicious (we tried almost everything in our 3 days there!). The staff, including Jordan, Callum and the ladies in charge of housekeeping, were efficient and nothing was too difficult. It was a wonderful experience, and we will definitely be going back!

Had a lovely luxury one night stay. Staff were all very friendly and attentive. Dinner and breakfast excellent as was the well appointed room. Our stay wasn't long enough but a lovely way to finish our break in the Outback.

We stayed here for 1 night- beautifully appointed room, very comfy bed. It was great staying on the edge of the gorge. The pool area was lovely, and the restaurant excellent, with great wines and service. The only drawback was the lack of internet in the room, "we are in the outback".

Dear Kathy, Thank you for staying at Cicada Lodge and for writing this positive review. We are happy to know that you enjoyed our rooms, the location and our carefully prepared food, wine and service. We are sorry about Internet and we do share your feelings. Reception has been poor, particularly this year and our only choice is Telstra. Fortunately, an upgrade is going to happen towards the end of the year, when we will finally have reliable Internet all around the Gorge and in the Cicada Lodge rooms. We are very much looking forward to it. Thanks again Kathy Z

We stayed here a second time on one of our journeys to the NT. Again it was excellent..after having some confusion with the booking system and staff changes. The accommodation is just fantastic and the food at both dinner and breakfast excellent
