Kakadu National Park Hotels

General Information

Together with the Great Barrier Reef and Willandra Lakes Region, Kakadu National Park was the first region of Australia to achieve UNESCO World Heritage inscription. The Northern Territory park has held the official title since 1981 and still stands as one of the most spectacular tourist attractions in the country.

A relatively short drive southeast of Darwin, Kakadu welcomes close to 250,000 annual visitors, on average. About the size of Slovenia, the national park is a titanic enterprise and offers a wide range of inherent attractions. Aboriginal rock art sites dot the landscape, with native rangers keen to point out that they have been in continuous use for well over 40,000 years. The biodiversity of Kakadu is no less impressive, with a remarkable concentration of fauna and flora on display, especially for those who decide to camp, boat or even fish in the national park. The Aboriginal heritage and present-day stewardship of Kakadu National Park however, brands it as special.
