About this property

Waterfront on the Esplanade with Tropical Pool

Set on Darwin's lush and scenic Esplanade, this one-bedroom apartment offers ample space to relax while being a stone's throw from the action. When you'd rather stay in, simply soak up the vibe from your balcony overlooking the water or take a dip in the pool.

A bright open plan kitchen, dining and living area provides an easy, breezy place to unwind. In the bedroom, a king bed and TV, plus a modern ensuite with a shower and bathtub, ensure you have all you need for a comfortable stay.
At the heart of Darwin's leafy, tropical Esplanade and its many cafes and restaurants, this ideally positioned stay provides a comfortable and convenient base for discovering the city.

The two-person abode, located on Level 2 of a waterfront building, has an open plan kitchen, dining and living area with a wall-mounted TV and work desk. A large sofa, four-seater table and outdoor chairs provide plenty of options for dining and relaxation, while glass doors open onto a spacious balcony.

The kitchen has all you need to prepare meals at home, including a fridge, freezer, stove, oven, microwave, and other cooking essentials like pots, pans and utensils. Eat indoors or head out the balcony to enjoy your meal with water views.

The bedroom has the option of a king bed or two singles, with a flat screen TV that can be watched from the comfort of your bed. Large glass doors provide direct balcony access, so you can step outside and sip your morning coffee while you take in the sea breeze.

The bedroom features an ensuite with a shower and bathtub, as well as the essentials – soap, shampoo, conditioner and a hair dryer – for your use. Guests also have the convenience of an internal laundry cupboard that has a washing machine and dryer.

When you're not soaking up the ocean views from your apartment, head downstairs and take advantage of the building's shared amenities including a generous-sized pool. Take a dip to cool down, then head back to your private balcony to dry off in the sun.
During your stay, you will have the entire space to yourself and access to the shared pool. Please make yourself at home!

The Esplanade, overlooking Darwin Harbour, is a well-known spot for waterfront dining and recreation, and offers a wide variety of both casual eateries and fine dining restaurants.

If you're looking for a fun way to spend an evening, check out what's playing at Darwin's premier outdoor cinema, Deckchair Cinema, located 20 minutes' walk from the apartment. Mindil Beach Sunset Market is another great way to make the most of balmy evenings alfresco.

Other local attractions include Darwin Entertainment Centre and fish feeding at Doctor's Gully. Supermarkets, pharmacies, newsagents and other specialty stores are all close by when you're in need of essentials.

Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
