Amazing location to walk to the waterfront precinct. They allowed us to leave our luggage for the day as we had a late flight out from Darwin. Rooms were really clean and comfy beds. Staff were all fantastic.

Samara Australia

The room was lovely and clean,bed was comfortable and the air conditioner nice and cool.They had a canopy over the top and water was the right temp.Staff were very welcoming..

Kylie Australia

Breakfast good value compared to other cafes but average quality. Perfect location for easy access to all CBD and waterfront venues. Great pool to cool off after a hot day.

Carrie Australia

The location was exceptional, on the esplanade & only a short walk or quick scoot to all the city attractions. The villa’s give a real feeling of privacy so you don’t feel like you’re in a city!!

Nick Australia

The Good Night sleep even though I had a few hours until sunrise.

Rosemary Australia

I didn't go for a swim but my grandson Jeffrey 9yro loved the pool of course, and touring the area the guests that we're there already was nice friendly. I guess how the environment is and peaceful most of the time you have a welcoming feeling. My grandson already made friends with a few of the guests, talking alot which is what he likes doing about the resort and telling family members that it's so much fun being there.

Rosemary Australia

The bungalow style, garden setting, outdoor sitting area, pool, great location

Doris Australia

Nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable and resort vibes in the city. Cheaper than others in Darwin.

Elena Canada

The room was very comfortable and quiet. The staff were extremely helpful. The surroundings were very pleasant and we wished we had more time to enjoy the lovely deck.

Barbara Australia

Rooms and amentity were excellent well kept and very clean..
