‘Looks fabulous! I can’t wait,’ one person wrote and a second added: ‘Wow, this is next level.’
Earlier this year, Robert gave fans a tour of Crocodile Hunter Lodge and revealed how the family has incorporated his father’s legacy throughout the hotel.
Opening in 2022, Crocodile Hunter Lodge was a longtime dream of the late ‘crocodile hunter’ Steve Irwin, who wanted to open luxury accommodation at the Zoo.
Taking to social media, Robert showed viewers how guests are welcomed by three large bottle trees which were planted by his father.
‘These are dad’s trees. These bottle trees were originally planted by him in the Zoo and we moved them to welcome our guests in as the perfect welcome statement,’ he explained.
The zookeeper went on to reveal the hotel’s welcome doors are made out of timber from a crocodile grandstand his father built.
The grandstand timber was also used to frame heartwarming photographs of the Irwin family for visitors to admire.
Robert moved the tour into the hotel’s fine dining restaurant Warrior, named in tribute to Steve and his granddaughter Grace Warrior.

He said the restaurant is made of a rammed earth construction in tribute to his father’s desire for a sustainable future.
In December 2022, the Irwin family spoke about the importance of continuing Steve’s legacy by building the lodge.
‘This is an exciting time for us as a family to be able to continue on what dad’s vision was for Australia Zoo,’ Steve’s daughter Bindi said on Instagram at the time.
Steve’s widow Terri added her beloved husband always had a dream that visitors could not only visit Australia Zoo, but stay overnight for an immersive experience.
