If you’re dreaming of an outback adventure in the Northern Territory (complete with fantastic food, of course), book yourselves a stay at this luxe lodge.

Cicada Lodge has proven why it’s a fabulous option for couples, taking out the top award for the 2017 Northern Territory Australian Hotels Association Gold Plate Awards in the Best Fine Dining category.

Located 30 minutes north of Katherine’s town centre and just under four hours south of Darwin, Cicada Lodge is hidden away in the spectacular Nitmiluk National Park. Home to the Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge, the region holds great cultural value for the Jawoyn people, making it an incredible destination for an outback escape.

“Cicada Lodge was developed out of a dream to showcase the Nitmiluk region and the culture of our owners, the Jawoyn people; and to bring a new element to tourism in the Top End,” says Nitmiluk Tours CEO Ms Jane Runy. “In all facets of the operation – and in particular dining – we strive to achieve and deliver on that promise.”
