The property was built in 2015 and features air-conditioned accommodation with a patio. The accommodation features a lift and free shuttle service for guests.

The view was by far the best part about this place but the facilities were also tiptop! We spent most evenings watching the tug boats come and go and the sun setting. Such a great location.

    Absolutely loved our stay here, with two young kids. The waterfront location is everything. We loved having buffet breakfast on the waterfront each morning. The staff are lovely. The deluxe two bedroom apartment was great, very spacious with a tv in each room and the beds were so comfy to sleep in. Darwin accommodation is ridiculously expensive for what you get- which is often not much… but you will not regret staying here!

    These affordable apartments share the building with Mantra Hotel. Next door there are some backpacker accommodation, which can be a bit noisy until @ 10pm, and the view is over the back streets of Darwin CBD.

    Firstly you need to know this is an older motel style of accommodation. If you're looking for the Hilton this is not it, but, its clean, it is well maintained, the managers and cleaners do a cracking job. The towels are changed regularly, as is the bedding. There is a fridge and TV in each room but no cooking facilities. The hotel also has a nice pool and BBQ area. Air-conditioning was A+. Its in a cracking location on Smith Street so close to everything. Bars, Mindil Beach, Cullen Bay, Darwin Waterfront etc

    I chose this hotel because it’s at the airport, has family rooms/apartments and has a pool. We arrived at 3am. It was very pleasant to walk (just 8min) from airport to hotel (you can ask for pick up too). The apartment was nice. We didn’t hear any noise of planes. The pool was closed unfortunately.

    We were a late arrival so we just needed somewhere to sleep for the night before moving on. The room fitted the bill. A very comfortable bed, effective room darkening curtains and a great shower. There is a free shuttle from the airport to the hotel. It is on demand, just use the phone provided in the baggage claim area. We waited maybe 5 minutes for it to arrive. Very efficient service.

    Everything was spot clean and prefect. First time in Darwin and I wasn’t disappointed at all. Hotel was close to shops, so much room in apartment, Loved the balcony as it lead to overlooking a part of the city. Apartment was nicely soundproof as we couldn’t hear much of the outside. Was able to just kick back and relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.

    We particularly enjoyed the central location and that the hotel was within walking distance to places to eat, bars, supermarkets and local tourist attractions. We also used the full sized gym across the road which is included in the hotel package. The room was very clean and had everything we needed - it was also very quiet which helped us get a good nights sleep. The room was serviced everyday and we would definitely stay here again and recommend it to other travelers.

    Location was fantastic - walking distance to the lagoon, restaurants and the wave pool. Easy walk into town, lots of scooters around to ride to wharf. The apartment literally had everything we needed for our family for a 10 day stay. Hotel included soaps, dishwashing liquid, beach towels, t-towels, stock in the pantry like oil and salt/pepper. Fantastic other inclusions like plastic cups for kids, tupperware, ice packs and glad wrap! Very impressed.

    The hotel is close enough to the action in Darwin so that you can get around easily but far enough away from Mitchell Street that you can get a good night sleep. The staff were super helpful - we were originally put into a room that smelled of smoke but upon letting them know they immediately placed us in another really fresh room. Great pool and bar to chill, watch the footy at as well.

We loved the pool area as it was very quiet even though the hotel was fully booked during our stay. The staff were always helpful and friend. Our room was spacious and included everything we needed.
