Cicada Lodge

About this hotel

Discover the ancient lands of the Australian Outback at Cicada Lodge, a luxurious retreat nestled in Nitmiluk National Park, within Australia's Northern Territory. Wholly owned and operated by the Jawoyn people, the lodge offers an immersive cultural experience. Upon arrival, guests receive a traditional 'Welcome to Jawoyn Country' followed by an evening of bush food canapés and drinks as the sun sets over the Katherine River. Each room showcases original artworks by local Jawoyn artists, each piece narrating a Dreaming story. From your private louvered balcony, savor majestic views of the surrounding sandstone landscape. Cicada Lodge provides exclusive private tours to explore the region's splendors: air tours over pristine waterfalls and ancient Indigenous rock art, cruises through the Katherine River gorges, and guided walks to discover traditional bush foods and medicines. Located just 320km south of Darwin, Cicada Lodge offers a unique experience of Australia's Top End.
