Apartment in Darwin City
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 90 reviewsWATERFRONT PENTHOUSE ★★★★★
We had a fantastic stay with our young family. The apartment and view was just beautiful, and the added treats for guests was very appreciated. So much close by to do and eat. Would certainly recommend and hope that we can stay again in future.

Guesthouse in Wagaman
5 out of 5 average rating, 18 reviewsThe Bastia Inn
We really enjoyed our stay at Bastia Inn, it was immaculately clean and had everything we could possibly need for our stay - and much more, Bec has thought of everything. The pool and outside area is a lovely relaxing space and the accommodation is in a nice area, really handy for the shopping mall and travelling into Darwin. I highly recommend this accommodation.

Apartment in Nightcliff
4.79 out of 5 average rating, 106 reviewssweet spot in top NT beach suburb
We came to stay in Chryss's wonderful place to experience Darwin's steamy wet season and couldn't have asked for anything more. We were thrilled with the air-conditioned unit on the top floor with outstanding tropical views. It was sublime out on the balcony set amongst the tree tops, especially in the rain with nearby geese honking their appreciation. The place has a great vibe, is an easy 10 minute stroll to the Sunday market & the stunning Nightcliff foreshore & jetty. Easy access to the private swimming pool and Chryss's personal recommendations added to a fabulous experience all up.

What a beautiful space! Perfectly as described and super relaxing. Pickup and drop off from the ferry was smooth as, highly recommended. The composting toilet does not smell at all - how is that possible?! The mineral pool is gorgeous and we had a great time exploring the property and local area.

Apartment in Rapid Creek
4.81 out of 5 average rating, 31 reviewsQuiet oasis near Nightcliff pool
Couldn’t recommend Vivian’s beautiful apartment in Rapid Creek more. Such a light-filled, spacious apartment that is unbelievably well equipped - hair dryer and straightener, NutriBullet, coffee machine. It’s such a wonderful location, close to Beachfront Hotel, Foreshore cafe, nightcliff foreshore and its wonderful food trucks, Cafe Central and so much more. We stayed here for 6 weeks while we worked at RDH and it truly felt like home within minutes of arriving. Viv was so easy to communicate with during our stay and our check in and out was seamless with the lockbox system. Will definitely stay here again.

Apartment in Darwin City
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviewsApartment in Darwin city. great 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!

Guesthouse in Millner
5 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviewsTropical 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

Vacation home in Wagait Beach
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 30 reviewsGolden Sands Retreat Beach House
Such a comfortable, well-equipped and beautifully situated residence for my family to relax and celebrate our tropical Christmas. Torana was a gracious host who kept me informed in advance of our check-in of any additional information, and went the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable during our stay. Arriving to a ready-lit Christmas tree was a generous personal touch by Torana, and very, very much appreciated; it made us feel so much at home. 💖

Home in Malak
4.85 out of 5 average rating, 40 reviewsSpacious Home ready for you to relax.
From the time we arrived till checkout, we had the most amazing time thanks to Ken and his hospitality. Ken looked after us awesomely and bent over backwards to make sure we had the best time. The house was immaculate and had everything and more than we could have asked for. Was a beautiful experience, sitting in the pool, looking through the tropical garden and identifying all the native birds that have called Ken’s place home. Thank you Ken.

Guesthouse in Holtze
5 out of 5 average rating, 60 reviewsLemongrass Lodge
Absolutely beautiful and comfortable place to stay. Easy to get to, very private and the perfect place to unwind- we were only passing through and spent 1 night, however, we could easily have spent several days there just enjoying the peaceful space including the large undercover patio looking out on lush tropical gardens featuring beautiful birds singing. Very accommodating hosts with well thought out space which is both stylish but very comfortable, everything you need plus some delightful additions such as fresh milk and Tim tams in the fridge! Babs was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Cannot recommend enough and will definitely look forward to returning

Our family stayed in Damien's apartment for 5 nights in October. It was terrific and our second time staying there. We hope to return.

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