Adorable unit with outdoor spa at your doorstep!
I appreciate Blazenka’s place and her as a host. It was comfortable and peaceful experience staying at her Airbnb’s place. I was mostly able to access anything I wanted within the house and outside necessities e.g groceries, restaurants and gym workouts nearby. I definitely recommend her Airbnb to anyone who is visiting Darwin anytime. You won’t regret it. The place is affordable if you looking for something within the budget. 5 stars in my opinion!

Convenient Location, Laid back Neighbourhood
I’m really grateful that I had the chance to stay at Ian’s home. He’s very kind and has helped me a lot, so I highly recommend his place. Don’t hesitate to choose Ian’s house Cheers, cathrine

Moil Studio
Really enjoyed our stay here at Jess & Tom's studio for nearly a week. Located under the main house with a small outdoor space to use. As the weather was cool in the morning, we found this a great space to enjoy with a coffee before starting the day and then again in the evening after the warm day to cool down. Bathroom is spacious and airy; kitchen is easy for quick meals, and the bed is comfortable. As there is no tv or Wi-Fi, we found this a great way to do a digital detox. Jess and Tom are just lovely and very helpful.

Merlin's Loft - CBD Apartment with Sunset Views!
An awesome apartment located right in the city center with a lovely view! The place had everything we needed for our stay and we would definitely stay again

Top End Retreat! Water Front Apartment
Awesome apartment to stay for the week. Amazing precinct where everything is easily accessible. Very clean apartment with amazing views. Sunsets can take your breath away. Isabella was great to deal with and very easy to correspond with. Will we be back? YES! YES! YES!

Tropical Temira
If I could give 6 stars to Kathleen, I would. Her apartment was absolutely stunning, with a super comfy bed, lots of amenities (shampoo, body lotion, information booklet, local leaflets, TV, radio) with a beautiful pool in wonderful surroundings. The neighbourhood was so tranquil, within walking distance of everywhere we needed to be, including the city centre. This is the best Air BnB we’ve stayed at: Kathleen was so hospitable and kind, even loaning me some wildlife guidebooks to read! Thank you so much Kathleen. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here. A home away from home. Perfect.

Elevated Waterfront Living on the Esplanade's Edge
Great location. Lovely apartment highly recommend

Shady Tropical Retreat: Relax in Nature's Haven!
CJ’s accommodation was nothing short of amazing, very beautiful home, easily accessible and CJ was very helpful at all time and made me and my partner feel right at home. I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful get away.
