Great place, outdated but still extremely comfortable. Only problems were ants everywhere, despite ensuring we cleaned up after ourselves, the stovetop fan was broken and didn't work. Also, lack of cooking utensils and tea towels. For the price though, it was great and got the job done! Air con was fantastic and would probably stay again.

Stunning views, close to everything.

What a great apartment. It's pretty dated, but clean and comfortable, spacious 2 bdr apartment with awesome views and everything you need for your home away from home. So close to everything and convenient, with secure underground parking and nice big swimming pool. We'll definitely visit again.

The staff at the Marrakai were wonderful - friendly and extremely helpful. The room, while older, was clean and spacious. Woolworths and Mall are within walking distance, as is the Waterfront and wharf (although it was extremely hot in the middle of the day). We also had an amazing view!

The property is not right in the town centre so there are not many restaurants or shops, though you can easily walk to these if it's not too hot. The apartment was very comfortable and we had fantastic views from the top floor. There was quite a lot of traffic noise, however, and the apartment was very old and really needs a refurb and new furniture. The old dishwasher broke down during our stay and a shower head needed replacing. It was very clean, though, and the beds were really comfortable, with lovely, good quality linen. Overall, I would definitely stay again as it was good value for money, comfortable, and the manager, Jason, was very attentive.

Air conditioning was not working (or barely) - reported on the first day, advised someone would look at it on Monday. Nothing happened. Advised someone would look at it on Tuesday while we were out - nothing happened. Ceiling fans only worked on "flat out" or off - this didn't help the situation at all. Would not recommend at all.

We went to Darwin for a short break and found this amazing apartment to stay in. Marrakai is situated in the city of Darwin, walking distance to most the necessities. Jason (property manager) looked after us and was very accomodating throughoit our stay.
