“Food was great. Clean room. Actual room was shabby”
Got there, didn’t realise it was a shared balcony. Next room had 5 people on the balcony with full camping cooktop etc making dumplings. Very uncomfortable - felt like we were invading their space.

“Our vacation was wonderful because your accommodation is located in a very quiet and secluded area.”
Even though the breakfast was buffet style, we were provided with the food we needed. Thank you. Your location is so beautiful.

“Nice, enjoyable experience but fairly expensive for off-season”
We had a lovely stay at Crab Claw. It was 'off-season' and not many others in the accommodation. We enjoyed our stay, food was lovely at the restaurant. And there was a bonus continental breakfast included. We enjoyed the beach walks, and night walks croc spotting, fishing and lazing about for the weekend!

“South Pacific vibes”
The location is awesome, not too far from Darwin. The bar area is fantastic and made you feel like you were on a South Pacific Island. Loved all the elevated walkways! The continental breakfast inclusion was a nice surprise. The pool was lovely and cool. Dinner at the restaurant was well priced.
