Spacious apartment for a family of 4 with the convenience of a washing machine and dryer. Coles and chemist was nearby. Our apartment faced the backpacker accommodation so it was fairy noisy till late, better to get the beach facing apartments. The nearby restaurants are mostly bars, the waterfront which is a short drive away had a big selection of cuisines.

Great location and within easy walking distance to Darwin waterfront. Lovely water views from balcony. Carparking was easy in the basement. Staff were very friendly and helpful. One bedroom apartment was very roomy and perfect for our one week stay in Darwin. Liked that we could walk next door to the Novatel for a delicious buffet breakfast or a dinner at nighttime.

Good location poor state of bathroom, mirror looka like it needs replacement as the surface if showing heavt wear resulting in flaking/desilvering in multiple spots. Also no spare blanket in the wardrobe, may be fine for tourists from South but bloody cold for a local even after havingturned the AC off on arrival.
