Convenient and Relaxing Stay at Novotel Darwin Airport We had a great experience at Novotel Darwin Airport. The location is excellent—perfectly situated for easy access to the airport and ideal for day trips around the area. We especially enjoyed the beautiful hotel grounds and spent a lot of time relaxing by the inviting pool, which was a real highlight. A convenient and comfortable base for exploring Darwin!

Pool was a great asset, though good to know guests can use Mecure pool when Novotel gets noisy and busy. Events are often held there. But a great location close to the airport for early flights. Bit of a hike into town, and no shops within walking distance.
