We loved the convenience of the pool and dining area in the complex and all the shady trees. But the Studio unit we had needs repair - shower base was unstable, shower head was ready to fall off and screen door kept coming off its runners. Aircon didn't have much effect in the heat of the day around 2pm even on lowest setting.

Costly for a basic room

Few hotels in Jabiru. The cost ofca night was expensive (150€ for 2) for a basic room with toilets and bathroom outside. Check-out time also was far too early (10am). However the swimming pool and its evening restaurant were great.
