Lovely resort - the gardens give it a really lovely relaxed, tropical feel. Blockout curtains are great for sleep and the breakfast is excellent value. Location is also excellent. The Services Club just down the road is great for meals and drinks. Would definitely stay again!

Excellent accommodation on the Esplanade. Close to restaurants and pubs. Loved the pool. Quiet and family friendly. You can lay for breakfast, but there is no restaurant for dinner. Aircon and a ceiling fan provided a great room temp. Would definitely return if ever back in Darwin.

I stayed in a garden bungalow as a solo traveller. The room was small however contained everything that I needed. (Not sure how you would go with 2 people??) The kitchenette was big enough for me to do a bit of food preparation.The balcony was great, loved sitting outside for meals. Very quiet as well. The pool was divine! My room was cleaned every day and the staff were very helpful. Location was great. An easy walk to the supermarket and the Mall. I will definitely be going back there.
