What guests think

Coconut Grove Holiday Apartments draws praise for friendly, helpful staff and clean, comfortable apartments, with many noting good value, practical in‑room kitchens, a secure car park, and a well‑kept pool and gardens, all within older, no‑frills surroundings.

Access can be difficult for some, as several reviews mention multiple flights of stairs and no lift. Rooms are generally spacious with comfortable beds, but furnishings are dated, soundproofing can be poor, and some guests reported patchy Wi‑Fi or weak air conditioning. The location is convenient for the airport, shops and markets, though it is a drive from central Darwin. Best suited to travellers seeking practicality over polish.

Facilities

Well‑maintained pool and gardens plus secure parking are appreciated, and many units provide functional kitchens. The property is older, and upper floors are only reachable by stairs, which can be challenging with luggage or limited mobility.

Older buildings, dated amenities, clean rooms, comfortable bed. Fully secure car park suggests issues in the local area. Have to park across footpath and exit car to put in gate code as keypad is too close to gate to do it from vehicle.

The apartment has the basics needed to prepare meals. Security is good and the hot water is nice and hot. The location is handy to the airport, but you need a car as the place is not close to the city. The apartment needs a thorough renovation to update the inside. Some light switches are in odd places, there is a lack of power points, the tiles all need to be updated and some of the roller doors didn't work. Further while we stayed there the internet dropped out and then was off for 3 days and there was no wifi password provided in the paperwork sent before arrival!!

Reception opening hours is limited, but there is a oncall number to call. Great for short lite stays. Unfortunately I had 2 big luggage and the stairs made it a challenge to my room. Parking was great, the garden is beautiful and well maintained. Very quiet and peaceful area. Comfortable beds and nice bathrooms. Shops and markets a short drive away. Staff onsite was very nice and helpful.

Older property but clean and functional. Friendly staff. Reasonable size rooms. The stairs are a bit of a nuisance especially when carrying the heavy luggage cases up 2 flights of steps.

Rooms were clean and tidy, some aspects of the property are a bit dated, but we could see that they were working on updates. Nice pool, staff were very good. For those that come from colder climates, an updated air conditioning system would have been good. Is well located regards to shopping centres, bus service and seaside walks. but a fair way from the Darwin City centre. Overall enjoyed aour stay tghere.

The older style accomodation was perfect for our family stay: large bedrooms with comfortable beds, easily sleeping three little children (and one Grandmother) in one room and Parents next door. The kitchen lounge area was aging and a bit shabby but functional. The unit had plenty of lovely fresh towels and bathmats. Great airconditioning. Overall we had a stress free stay.

Not the best for the price, very hot room. Asked for a quiet room and was next to an apartment block and people under me were having a birthday party. Very hot room, fan in bedroom didn't work and AC didn't work well. Very hot night, could not sleep. Just needed to rest.

The property is quite dated. More like an up market backpackers. It was clean and spacious with A/C. 2 flights of stairs however and a lift to the second floor is needed for disability access and heavy lugguage. A ground floor unit would have been preferable.
