Cicada Lodge

We had a fantastic time at Cicada Lodge. The rooms were comfortable and clean and the pool was good in the warm weather. Highly recommend enjoying a dinner at their restaurant and the breakfast spread was delicious too. Great location for exploring Nitmiluk!

The place to stay when visiting this area. Cabin is lovely and breakfast and evening drinks with canapés is fabulous! Worth the extra paid to stay here. The mocktails were exceptional!

Stunning meals and wonderful attentive service, a gem in Katherine food scene for sure. Couldn't fault the fusion of flavours. Simple presentation on a class level of food. Didn't eat anywhere better in my 3 month stint. Pricey but you get what you pay for so happy to cough up the dough.

Dinner at Cicada Lodge was an incredible experience. The setting itself is so serene and intimate, surrounded by the beauty of Nitmiluk, which makes dining here feel extra special. Each course was beautifully presented and full of flavour, showcasing fresh local ingredients and a real attention to detail. The staff were professional, warm, and attentive, making thoughtful wine recommendations that paired perfectly with the meal. It wasn’t just dinner – it felt like a fine dining experience in the heart of the Top End. An absolute standout and a must if you’re staying at the lodge or visiting the area.

Just spent three amazing days at this lodge and it was a real treat. If you ask me what was best I could say the food (amazing), he accomodation (fine) but it is the staff that made this visit. What an incredible group of people who are there to ensure the guests needs are top of mind. It is located within walking distance of the river cruises and all the scenic walks on offer.

Cicada Lodge sounds like a chill spot 😊! It's got cozy vibes, perfect for relaxing, and people love its scenic views and friendly staff. Great for unwinding!

Lovely peaceful location on the edge of the Nitmiluk Gorge and 30 minutes drive from Katherine. Good quality lodges and amenities. The restaurant, whilst quite pricy is very good.|Evening cocktails watching the sun go down are thoroughly recommended. We had various early morning visits from a wallaby carrying a joey which was a surprise.|The gorge and national park entrance are only a few minutes walk away. The gorge cruise is a must.

The rooms were luxurious and had everything you would expect for a top priced room. Staff were excellent and service was good. The restaurant was exceptional. Our friends stayed in the cabins and unfortunately theirs had no shower water, but maintenance fixed that by the end of the evening. We also did the two gorge river cruise. Wonderful experience.
