Hotel Description
Gagudju Crocodile Holiday Inn is a unique hotel situated in the heart of the Kakadu National Park. Covering nearly 22,000 square kilometres at the Top End of Australia's Northern Territory, Kakadu National Park is a cultural landscape, a World Heritage site and the largest national park in Australia.
Just two and a half hours' drive from Darwin, Gagudju Crocodile Holiday Inn is the most central hotel to the attractions of Kakadu National Park and provides an ideal base for exploring Kakadu's Nourlangie and Ubirr Aboriginal rock art galleries, Yellow Water Billabong, the towering 400-metre sandstone escarpment, or Arnhem Land along with Kakadu's most famous attractions, including Jim Jim and Twin Falls.
Gagudju Crocodile Holiday Inn is unique in Kakadu as the hotel was designed in the shape of a crocodile, clearly visible from both land and air, and was created by Darwin architect, John Wilkins in consultation with the Gagudju, the local Aboriginal people. The design of the Gagudju Crocodile Holiday Inn hotel was chosen by the Gagudju Association because 'Ginga', the giant crocodile, is of great cultural significance to the Gagudju people. The hotel is 250 metres from head to tail and 30 metres across the belly, the crocodile's jaws encompass the hotel entrance, which leads to the hotel's expansive marble foyer designed to represent a cool, green billabong.
The crocodile's body section houses 110 hotel guest rooms that overlook a central courtyard with a recreation area of natural billabongs and the hotel's shaded swimming pool, designed to represent the crocodile's heart.

World-renowned indigenous artists from Kakadu and Arnhem Land are well represented in Gagudju Crocodile Holiday Inn's extensive art gallery. The hotel gift shop also offers informative, decorative and memorable souvenirs of Kakadu, from crocodile postcards to crocodile handbags.
