Wish You Were Here: Cicada Lodge, Northern Territory
Visiting the Top End at this time of the year seems absolutely perfect when they’re living it up in the low 30s and experiencing the best that the dry season has to offer. If you’re looking for a winter escape that offers up killer natural landscapes but doesn’t compromise on comfort, then book yourself a room at the Cicada Lodge in Katherine, NT.
This luxury gem can be found right in the middle of the Nitmiluk National Park, 30 kilometres from the township of Katherine and about a four hour drive south from Darwin.
The lodge is a comfortable sanctuary from which you can explore and experience the ancient landscapes and Indigenous culture found within the Nitmiluk National Park. These luxurious digs offer top class amenities and exclusive regional and historic tours around Katherine and its surrounding areas.
The Cicada Lodge is in a pretty unique spot with the Katherine Gorge seemingly right at its doorstep. This picturesque landscape has been carved over the millennia by the Katherine River into 13 immense gorges that span the National Park.
The Lodge and its regional tours are a joint venture between the local Jawoyn people and Indigenous Business Australia to bring a new element of authenticity, quality and history to Katherine and the surrounding areas. The tours put on by the Cicada Lodge have a strong cultural aspect which allows visitors to learn and appreciate the ancient cultural heritage of the land’s traditional owners.
