Robert Irwin revealed a sweet hidden detail while showing his followers around Australia Zoo's newest accommodation offering, Crocodile Hunter Lodge. In a video shared to TikTok, Robert gives a tour of the Crocodile Hunter Lodge and reveals a tribute to his father, Steve Irwin, is hidden in the two-bedroom cabin.

The 21-year-old shows off the incredible property, which features a heated plunge pool and an incredible view of a waterfall and pond, which is the home of ten freshwater crocodiles. He tells his followers, "Everywhere you look, there's an homage to Dad, or to our conservation legacy.

"There's kangaroos jumping around in front of your lawn, there's crocodiles out the back, all the way to the small details – this is all wood from our original grandstands. The crocodile grandstands that dad built," he says, pointing to the cabin door.

Robert is then seen in the main bedroom, saying, "And waking up to that view, with crocodiles swimming around... This is the fulfilment of Dad's dream."

Fans were in tears after Robert revealed the hidden detail in the cabin, with one person writing, "The crocodile stand dad built as the door, had me 🥹💕."

"Immediately welled up," another agreed. "Every time I see Steves face or hear his name. Its so amazing how much a person impacts your life, without ever meeting or knowing them."

"I agree, he was a very special man and Robert is just every bit the best version of his father and his legacy," a third added. "What a family."

"I just know your father is so proud of you man," one user wrote.

"Watching this genuinely brought a tear to my eye as it's not often you see such passion in people, but even in yours words alone, so much more is said than the words," another said.

"It’s so amazing to see you carry on your father’s legacy," yet another wrote. "I have tears in my eyes believing a part of nature is still in good hand❤️🙏🥺 You’re doing amazing and your father is undoubtedly proud."

"Everything about that is amazing but the sentimental value of the grandstand wood being included in the design is the best!" one fan said.

Many others also wrote that they had added the Crocodile cabin to their bucket list. The two-bedroom cabin also includes a large kitchen, laundry facilities, Dyson hair dryers, 8.4m high ceilings and a $150 voucher for Warrior Restaurant and Bar.

Starting at $2099 a night, it's the most expensive cabin at The Crocodile Hunter Lodge, but the hotel did win World's Best Nature Hotel in 2024, so if you've got the cash to splash, it sounds like it would be very worth your money.
