The Experience

Come back from a day of wildlife discoveries to a cabin with space for the family and a verandah made for slowing down. The Black Cockatoo Cabins offer two-bedroom accommodation at The Crocodile Hunter Lodge, pairing rustic surroundings with modern conveniences. Their layout suits families who want separate sleeping spaces and somewhere comfortable to gather between outings. Spend the morning exploring, then return to enjoy the bushland setting and decide how little—or how much—to do next. Discover the Black Cockatoo Cabins.

Your Cabin in the Bush

A queen bed and two single beds provide sleeping space across two bedrooms. The lounge includes a Samsung Frame Smart TV, while the kitchen has a fridge, microwave, cooktop and dishwasher. Prepare a simple meal, keep snacks ready for hungry explorers, or take dinner outside to the verandah’s dining area. A private carport makes unloading and heading out straightforward. Explore cabin features.

Wildlife Close By

The lodge’s shared wildlife habitat brings another dimension to time spent away from the zoo. Red kangaroos, emus and koalas live within this habitat, with opportunities to observe them from Warrior Restaurant & Bar’s outdoor patio and the infinity pool. Pause between activities and see what catches your attention. Inspired by Steve Irwin’s connection with wildlife and wild places, the lodge reflects the Irwin family’s continuing commitment to conservation. Its natural setting is an important part of the experience. Read the lodge’s story.
