Room-Beautiful Bayview Townhouse - 5 mins to CBD

EricRating, 5 stars10 months ago
Always a great place to stay in Darwin! Denielle makes sure that everything is provided and the home is clean and comfortable. It is "over and above" most AirBnb accommodation. Denielle is also incredibily friendly and any guest would feel immediately comfortable in her home. The location is quiet, secure and a short bus-ride, UBER or taxi in to the Darwin CBD or Waterfront. Still one of the best AirBnb's that I have stayed at, and I am likely to re-visit.

Beach Villa: private beach access + plunge pool!

AmandaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Very peaceful location for mid-January. Great view to the ocean. Very spacious apartment spread out over 2 levels. Super comfy beds. The plunge pool was much cooler after an overnight storm. The photos suggest the apartment is more modern and lighter than we experienced. Although many of the local restaurants were not open, we enjoyed the quieter time of year. Found plenty of delicious food places in Darwin CBD, which is less than 10 minute drive away. Leanne was a great host, very quick to respond to our messages and sorted out the issue with wifi connection quickly.

Darwin Waterfront 2-bedroom apartment

LukeRating, 5 stars30 months ago
Location of the property was ideal, having all the eateries a plus, the Lagoon and Wave Pool close by, as well as the Wharf Precinct. Would like to see a cleaner balcony for our next visit. Overall the accommodation was lovely, if it wasn't for the 4pm check in time we would have rated our experience 4 1/2 stars.

CBD Esplanade Location - Quiet & Comfortable

JudithRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Lyall was extremely easy to deal with and was very supportative in accommodating some last minute changes to our booking, which I can't thank him enough for. The unit was lovely, having been recently fully refurbished, it was fresh and clean. There were many extra's which had been thought of to make our stay enjoyable, from the coffee machine, condiments, milk in the fridge, beach towels and even an esky. I would highly recommend this place, it was quiet and secure, walking distance to the shops, and across the road from the water. The building is gated with security access, and also had secure parking. We will definately book here again. Such a great place to stay.

Private and Cosy Room

NatalieRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We had a great stay at Swornima’s place, it was very close to the main town centre and the apartment was modern and clean. The only thing is the bed felt a bit small for two adults and the mattress was dipping on the sides. Apart from that we had everything we needed and the hosts were lovely :)
