The Tropical Sanctuary is situated in Nightcliff and features barbecue facilities, a garden and a terrace. Free WiFi is featured.

The guest room is equipped with air-conditioning, a fridge, a toaster, kettle and a wardrobe. A private bathroom with a shower and free toiletries is also provided. The room also features a pool view and a seating area.

The property is located in a residential suburb. We arrived at 2 am due to the inconvenient flight timing from Sydney. We had to let ourselves in by a key from a key box and make our way across a lawn down the side of the building. So we were wondering what we had let ourselves in for. But we shouldn’t have worried because a delight awaits. A extremely large well fitted room, beautifully fitted bath room and a plunge pool.. So much nicer than a hotel. We thoroughly recommend it. Don't bother to hire a car if you are using tour operators for your excursions. Ubers are cheap a plentiful.

    Great location in Darwin Cbd. . One of the best hostels I've stayed in. Made lots of good friends unlike other hostels where nobody will talk to you . It's also quiet enough to sleep if you are working.The owner has speedy response if any problems occur and great tips for things to do in the local area.

    Fantastic host who kept the communication easy. The best comment from the group about the property would have to be that each room had its own private bathroom and balconies with fantastic views. The location was quiet yet so close to city centre.

    Great location! Right on the Esplanade and only a short walk to Aquascene, Mindil Beach, Tour Bus Collection Point & City Centre. We stayed over a weekend and while there was music pumping at the local clubs, you couldn't hear it with the doors closed. The host was friendly and happy which made a great start to the holiday and the apartment had everything we needed.

    The studio apartment had fabulous ocean and city views from the balcony. It is well fitted out with stove top, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. Everything you need for long or short stays. Sheryl was a great host replying promptly to questions and checking in was easy despite being owned privately. The price is great value for a clean great location place. The infinity style pool was a bonus after hot and humid days out. I will be a returning guest.

    I got a text message with all the instructions to get into the apartment after hours. No worries about racing to get there before a certain time. The apartments are in a great location, so close to everything and yet so quiet. The pool was especially inviting and great for people with a disability. The units are well equipped for a great stay. The hosts are very helpful.
