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.

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.

Really enjoyed our stay at Cicada lodge. The room was well appointed and comfortable. The breakfast and dinners in their restaurant were outstanding. But most of all the staff there were absolutely lovely. Peaceful location. A short walk to the catch the boat for gorge cruise. Well worth doing.

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.

Just spent 2 nights in the Cicada Lodge. Wonderful experience. Katherine gorge and surrounding area is just beautiful. The lodge itself was fantastic. The restaurant was 1st class fine dining and a special shout out to all the lovely staff. Couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful.

A wonderful location within walking distance to the start of the Gorge River Cruise. Afternoon drinks and canapés were a treat. Fabulous breakfast! The dinner menu is a set price for 3 courses which changes slightly on a daily basis. There is an adjacent pool bar with a nice menu! The staff are delightful. In particular, Neil was so friendly and most helpful with his guidance of the area!

So we finally got to our wedding anniversary trip away to Cicada Lodge. On arrival we were greeted by the effervescent Jasmine and Nicholas, who were very friendly and super attentive and they both made us feel very at home and comfortable over our three night stay. The food was an amazing a la carte sample of territory fare, with for me an outstanding dish, the Crocodile Tagliatelle...magnificent!! Thanks Chef Lucas. The room was spacious and very well designed to allow a great amount of movement and freedom. Guest WiFi was available and no passwords or IT trickery required to get on straight away. The taps in the shower and basin weer unique in operation and I recommend a couple minutes spent to figure them out before you hit the shower. The team at Cicada went above and beyond to make my wife and I very comfortable and we most definitely recommend a stay.

Cicada Lodge is truly a fabulous place to stay. It provides the access to stay within a national park. Breakfast, Canape Hour and Dinner are more then expected and truly delicious. The Staff are exceptional. My one criticism is that the resort itself does not take advantage of the views and you can only see dense bushland from the pool and accommodation, yet you are so close to the river.
