Beautiful place to visit, we went during wet season so only one gorge open but swimming in southern rock holes was amazing

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Accommodation a little worn, but undergoing annual maintenance now. Dining room 5 star, set 3-course menu, great wine list, probably best in NT. Cicada Lodge staff very professional and helpful, especially Rob and Alici
