Beautiful Modern House near Darwin(20m)
Alice’s home exceeded our expectations. Short walk to the local Tavern, shops and major supermarkets with the added bonus of no road noise considering its convenient location. The home was spacious, very well presented inside and out. Everything you would need for your stay. Private outdoor area with a tropical feeling just added to our enjoyable experience. Efficient air conditioning and no shortage of fans for air circulation. Electric gate for added security. Our family would definitely stay again without hesitation. Thanks Alice for making our trip from Victoria so hassle free.

Summer Guesthouse
Eva was such a lovely and considerate host. She went above and beyond, cooking us some food and checking in to make sure we were happy.

Tropical Dream Home
Jessica was really friendly, helpful and responsive from the initial contact all the way through our stay. The house was perfectly clean and tastefully furnished, free of any clutter but with everything we needed. My kids loved looking after the chickens and collecting fresh eggs each day. I would definitely recommend to others.

5 Bedroom Family Home
This was a great place to stay with multiple families, being nice and close to lots of different things. The house had all the amenities that you need for a holiday and it was a very secure property with remote front gate.

Coolalinga’s Oasis Spot
This property was perfect, it is only walking distance to the shops and restaurants, only a short drive to the city and is in a nice quiet street. The property was immaculate, such a beautiful home. Would definitely return and recommend to friends and family.

Modern unit, Pool, Gym & CBD location
Had a great stay - so clean! Have stayed within the building before but this was the cleanest room ive stayed in so far. Nice and close to the pool and a really great sized bathroom. View isnt as much of a 'wow' factor as rooms on a higher level, but that wasnt a concern of mine. Would definitely recommend!

Tropical retreat
Louise's place was bright, quiet and spacious. It was very well appointed with thoughtful touches for travellers such as ground coffee and great museli. The studio was spotless and with a great kitchen. Within walking distance of Rapid Creek markets and nice walking along the creek paths. Easy drive to Casaurina and Nightcliffe beaches and food trucks. Quick also to get into town or up to Casaurina Mall

Secure underground car space. All that you want with this apartment.
