FAQs about hotels in Darwin








Australia's Cyclonic Cocktail

Darwin displays a cocktail of cultures from ‘Aussie larrikins’ to the local Aboriginals from Larrakia Country. Throw in an influx of international visitors who now call the Top End of Australia home, and this concoction bedazzles with busy outdoor markets and an adequate supply of drinking holes (pubs).

The modern Darwin Wharf precinct, including Stokes Hill Wharf, still gleams on those endless summer days having been rebuilt after the destruction caused both during World War II bombings and Cyclone Tracey. Grab a bar stool with a view of the harbour or a seat on a terrace and sip a cool drink in Australia’s northernmost, tropical capital city.

A popular time for tourists is Darwin’s dry season that starts in May and ends in October. If you prefer it hot and humid, then the end of the wet season can be spectacular when the waterfalls in Kakadu and Litchfield national parks are at their mightiest.

Australia’s wild frontier can be reached all the way from Adelaide and Alice Springs along the picturesque Stuart Highway that ends at Daly Street in the CBD. Outside the centre are the natural surrounds in Palmerston, Humpty Doo and closer by is Mindil Beach with its famous Sunset Market.

Darwin International Airport has international flights from Singapore and Bali. You can choose from a variety of hotels, hostels and apartments on Booking.com.

    Darwin has a vibe, full of lovely cafes and nightspots and a very interesting history from World War 2 and Cyclone Tracy. The Waterfront area is beautiful, lovely well maintained parks and fabulous markets. Evenings, everyone comes out to see the spectacular sunsets over the water. Evenings are warm - people go out walking, outdoor exercise classes and pop up eateries galore. Gateway also to Litchfield, Katherine and Kakadu - what's not to love!

    I really found the on off bus was very good, really helpful and cost effective. A great way to find your way around Darwin and find the touring attractions which were very interesting & enjoyable. I liked the warm weather not too humid in April. I may come back next year in July just to get way from Adelaide's winter.

    It was wet season but that made it more pleasant as it kept things a little cooler and less crowded. I would definitely go in the wet season again. I loved the lush tropical feel and smell of the foliage. The scenery was amazing and the fact it is a small city made it easy to walk and use E scooters. Plenty of picturesque foliage and water scenes. Shopping also convenient with major supermarket open until late. Must visit us Aquascene to feed the fish at high tide. Check website for opening times as they change depending on tides. Monsoons is nice for food on the main street. On Litchfield st is Tim's Surf and Turf. Great food, kids treated well, lots of families and Tim is a great host. Get out to Cullen Bay for a chill walk and a few restaurants. The wharf area and waterfront definitely worth a visit and only short walk from main street. Catch a free shuttle which will take you around the wharf area and waterfront to save your legs.

    Double check everything and insist if it doesn't match what you have booked that they double check everything. My last day was a bitter disappointment due to a stuff-up on the tour providers side. Other than that Darwin is lovely. Parap markets-great. Wildlife park-excellent.

    Most things are close by, lots to do, free things to do, beautiful sunrise and sunset, good restaurants. Must see:- sunset at Mindil Casino, dinner at the waterfront, swim in the man made lagoon. I recommend the hop on hop off bus tour. Parking in the city can be difficult but you can Uber anywhere in the city in 5-10 mins. Wait time for an Uber is 1-2 mins. Favourite places to eat - Hanuman Restaurant and Trampoline ice cream. Darwin Hotel and the Deck Bar have good food and atmosphere. Do not recommend Monsoon. The burger buns are hard as a rock.

    Darwin us a magical place. The atmosphere is unique, the people friendly and very laid back. I visit Darwin every year for my holidays. I usually go in the wet season because you get the pick of the accomodation for a much reduced price.

    This hotel was perfect in every respect. The location in the Waterfront Precinct was very convenient, especially with a free shuttle stop right outside the door. Staff were incredibly helpful, calling cabs, weighing luggage, and printing park passes for us. An excellent breakfast was included in the attached restaurant and offered a wide range of choices. Vouchers given to us to defray dinner costs were appreciated and made our stay here very economical. If we ever return to Darwin, we definitely will stay here!

    We were very happy with the accommodation. Very comfortable, had everything we needed and was very clean. The hotel was ideally located in Darwin city; within walking distance of various tourist sites, food places/takeaway/ restaurants. We had a family room with 2 bedrooms, lounge area and a kitchen and laundry. Great facilities and beautiful view from the balcony out to the harbour and the park across the road. Swimming pool was great to have on site and use every day. It was also not overly expensive.

    the lobby is nice, clean, and very comfy. the reception is also very friendly and helpful. the hotel room was big as well and very clean. the pool was not that big but the atmosphere was really nice, they provide foam tubes for swimming. if I ever go to darwin again I would love to come back here again :) they also have a lot of scooters in front of the hotels. so it's very easy for the guests to rent it and go around the city with that.

    Excellent location close to city and waterway. Clean house and comfortable for my family of 3 adults and 2 small children, easy to get into after-hours due to flight timing. Great aircon which was needed in the Darwin heat! Wonderful host who sent all instructions ahead of time, and very responsive even though I didn’t need anything over the course of my stay. Thanks, Deb!

    Really handy to have an apartment with dishwasher, washing machine and drying racks etc. The swimming pool water was pleasantly cool compared to pools at some other hotels/public facilities in Darwin. It was great that you could spend the breakfast credit on lunch and grab and go items as well. The rooftop bar has amazing views and is good value.

    We were in Darwin for a family funeral and the City Gardens Apartments suited us perfectly! We could walk to the shops and we were also close to the Cathedral for the funeral. We had a downstairs unit which was perfect for access to the pool, and the manager was very accommodating when we needed extra towels etc. Thanks for your hospitality!

    Very good location at Darwin Waterfront with a range of other places to eat and drink, still reasonably close to the city. Easy access to parking. Room (self contained apartment) was good - washing machine appreciated after over a week travelling! The hotel restaurant, Curve was quite good and well located next to the park.

    The one bedroom fully self contained apartment with washer, dryer, full size fridge was very spacious and had a great view of marina and surrounding bay. The apartment was very clean and ideal for our 4 night stay. 5 minute walk to Restaurants and only 10 minute drive into Darwin city or Waterfront.

    I chose this hotel because it’s at the airport, has family rooms/apartments and has a pool. We arrived at 3am. It was very pleasant to walk (just 8min) from airport to hotel (you can ask for pick up too). The apartment was nice. We didn’t hear any noise of planes. The pool was closed unfortunately.
