Great apartment to stay

It was a great position to access all things NT, easy to get the bus to Darwin and Nightcliff. Uber is quite affordable, we didn't find the need to hire a car as we used uber or buses everywhere we went.

4 day family stay with daughter. I was really impressed with James communication prior and during entry! Apartment lovely and we really appreciated the extra touches that many appartments miss that made our stay easier! Hopefully if I need to stay in Darwin long term it is available!

Darwin Trip #2

This apartment stay was absolutely beautiful. The apartment has everything you need, comfort and all amenities catered for you. This honestly felt a little home away from home👌 The complex was quiet and secure and I felt very relaxed my whole stay. I would recommend this apartment absolutely for an enjoyable stay.

Great location with an awesome coffee shop laneway coffee and bakery a short stroll in the morning. Parap tavern right next door with cheap twelve dollar jugs all weekend. Very central and only a ten dollar uber to the city or Mindal markets. Parap markets only a 5 minute walk.

Absolutely nothing to dislike about our stay. Excellent communication with the owner. This is not a negative comment, would love to see an outdoors table and a couple of chairs on the balcony for the bigger, smoking, coffee loving visitors. We’ll be back.
