Stay at Cicada Lodge, Katherine

Cicada Lodge, Katherine, Australia

Our rating: Deluxe

Ideally situated on the riverfront of the picturesque Katherine River, and within a stone's throw of the stunning Nitmiluk Gorge, this lodge offers the perfect base from which to explore this truly wonderful setting. The areas traditional landowners, the Jawoyn People, bring to life The Dreaming world of their ancient lands and offer guests an authentic indigenous and wilderness experience, while the lodge itself has been fitted with all the luxury trimmings to enhance your stay.

The focal point of the lodge is its restaurant and pool deck, which flow into one another through the full-length sliding glass doors (the perfect spot to take in one of the Top End's famous sunsets!), while the contemporary accommodation offers air-conditioned comfort, private balconies, indigenous art from local artists and views out across the distinct sandstone countryside.
