I really liked this gotel. I stsyed in a bungalow and it was lovely, in amongst lush plants. Laundry room shared using tokens from the front desk. Staff friendly and helpful. Right on the ocean park so you can walk the park and get the ocean views.

Nice place to stay clean etc. But when I booked over a month ago thought they might at least do sandwiches or some hot food. Continental breakfast looked very ‘slap dash’ for the price so found myself heading to supermarkets or cafes. Think should cater more even in wet season.

Room was lovely, only stayed one night due to flight the next day. We had a bungalow room which had its own bbq. Faced the pool. We stayed here 10 years ago and standard was still as good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Definately recommend.

Loved the check-in, which included Sammy the parrot! Super friendly staff. A good walkable location for many of the sights in Darwin. The pool was great, and the room was good for the price. I would definitely recommend and would return if in the NT.
