Darwin Buena Vista Executive Apartment
We had a very enjoyable stay at Buena Vista. Great location, well appointed and with an amazing outlook. The restaurant options are plentiful just nearby and the sunrises are spectacular. We’ll be back.

Darwin Waterfront Amazing harbor views 2 BR, 2BTR
We had an amazing holiday staying at the Darwin Waterfront - location is absolutely perfect. Jeannie is a fantastic host that goes above and beyond to ensure your holiday is perfect. I would definitely book through her again.

Barefoot Beach Apartment Darwin Waterfront
This apartment was in a great part of Darwin, walkable to the city, restaurants on our doorstep and easy access to transport. The apartment had all that we required for our stay. It was very private and not accessible to others. We would stay there again. Thank you Kim.

Live Work Play Darwin Waterfront
It's a great place to stay with everything within walking distance, restaurants, waterfront,city and nice views

Free Parking, 1 min walk to Waterfront Precinct
Great location at the Darwin waterfront. Apartment balcony was facing towards pool with obstructed views of lagoon. But nice & sunny in morning while partially shaded too. Best of both worlds.

Stylish apartment in heart of city
Yasmine is an amazing host, instructions were clear and she was always responsive. The unit is superb. Great location, walk out onto Smith St mall and easy walk to numerous locations. Ultra clean with excellent, quality facilities. Spacious with plenty of room for 4 adults. We made great use of balcony overlooking Darwin Harbour.

Salty Anchor - Absolute Waterfront
This is a great apartment in a cracking part of Darwin. It was almost a resort style holiday with the swim lagoon, cafes and bars at our doorstop - plus central Darwin an easy stroll away. Use of the vehicle was an extra bonus. Host was super responsive and apartment was great for the two of us.

1 Bedrm Apartment Darwin City - Sunset and Balcony
Excellent stay in Darwin. Stayed 5 nights on a business trip. Great view, private unit on 14th floor with a handy workstation desk. Walking distance to Woolworths and all the great restaurants/pubs and a 20min walk to Stokes Wharf. Definitely reccommed a sunrise walk to that location as one of Darwins best. Thanks Sherl, hope to stay again.

Seabreeze Beach House, Spectacular Sunset Views
We had an excellent stay. Will definitely be back. Thanks so much for having us. The perfect Easter getaway

Beautiful Bayview King Beds Pool Water frontage
I recently stayed at Matthew’s place with a group of friends for a holiday in Darwin. Matthew’s place was absolutely fantastic and a wonderful experience for our group. It was exactly as described in the listing, and was a fantastic place for a group to enjoy sunny Darwin. The house is very spacious, full of amenities and had a lovely outdoor area also. Matthew was very quick to respond whenever we had a query and the check in and check out process was simple and exactly as described. We never once had any issue with the house and would recommend it to anyone staying in Darwin.

Ocean View, Private Bathroom
A fantastic place to stay. The room was lovely and the bathroom was great - better than the photos show. Madison and Parke were very welcoming. The location was great too - right across from the ocean.

Zen Serene Seascape: Family Pool ~ BBQ ~ Markets
Fantastic place to spend the week - super comfortable and great tropical feel around the pool! Loved the area - close to Parap and Mindil Beach Markets and a lovely walk/bike ride around East Point. Would definitely return!

Luxe Bayview Oasis with Dream Waterfront Pool
We had a fantastic stay here, it was spacious with plenty of room for all guests

Water-Front Paradise: Pool - BBQ - Balcony Dining
Fantastic 5 night stay in this beautiful property. Location is great, not too far from shops, and such a spacious property. So much space in and outside the house. Well equipped kitchen. Lovely relaxed and balinese vibe to the property. Loved our stay. Benji was so prompt and friendly with communication.

Room-Beautiful Bayview Townhouse - 5 mins to CBD
Always a great place to stay in Darwin! Denielle makes sure that everything is provided and the home is clean and comfortable. It is "over and above" most AirBnb accommodation. Denielle is also incredibily friendly and any guest would feel immediately comfortable in her home. The location is quiet, secure and a short bus-ride, UBER or taxi in to the Darwin CBD or Waterfront. Still one of the best AirBnb's that I have stayed at, and I am likely to re-visit.

Cullen Bay Villa
Amazing location with beautiful sunsets! Watch the sun go down from the patio or join the locals and have drinks and nibblies on the grassed public area in front of villa. Bike paths make it easy to access Military Museum, Museum & Art Gallery, Mindel Beach markets, sunset at Ski Club, Casino and all the city sights. We hired electric bikes for the week from Phil at Bicycle Fix. Great restaurants within walking distance. The Villa was well appointed with absolutely everything you need for your stay and many surprise items that are not found at other homes (ie. fishing rods, kayaks, staple pantry and laundry items). Thanks for the special local gifts. Comfortable beds and relaxed furniture. Perfect for our annual adult family holiday (8 adults) with plenty of different areas to come together or have your own space. Thanks for sharing your home with us Justine and making our holiday in Darwin memorable. Everyone enjoyed their stay.

Kate and Simon were delightful hosts! So warm, welcoming and friendly! The place was fantastic - great location and amenities including a pool and the room and furnishings were lovely. Kate has impeccable taste! I really enjoyed my stay and can highly recommend!

Amazing Beach Sunsets Nightcliff Foreshore
Fantastic spot to explore Darwin! Amazing location in Nightcliff, close to everything you need!

Zen By The Sea: Pool - Balcony Dining - Seaview
A great place to stay and lots to do at the Waterfront. The sea view was fantastic and walking distance to the city. Would definitely stay again!

Darwin Waterfront 2-bedroom apartment
Location of the property was ideal, having all the eateries a plus, the Lagoon and Wave Pool close by, as well as the Wharf Precinct. Would like to see a cleaner balcony for our next visit. Overall the accommodation was lovely, if it wasn't for the 4pm check in time we would have rated our experience 4 1/2 stars.

Darwin Waterfront Luxury Apartment
Excellent place to stay, right on the waterfront. Quiet and peaceful, easy to walk into town. High quality apartment and nothing too much trouble to sort out if something needed. Would highly recommended you to stay there if you visiting Darwin

Skyview 2 Bathroom Sub-Penthouse Harbour Apartment
Way more on offer than what we initially expected! The views and the rooms were amazing! Great huge kitchen and living room felt really comfortable and right at home. Easy to get in and out of the home, neighbours and other residents were very friendly and helpful too! Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Darwin.

CBD Esplanade Location - Quiet & Comfortable
Nice apartment, don't let the outside of the building fool you. Secure complex with covered parking space available. Apartment was very clean, seems recently renovated as well. Lots of additional little details like really useful things in the kitchen, it was like my mum stocked the kitchen with anything I might possibly need as far as utensils and crockery go. And bonus point for the garlic press 😀 Location is easy walking distance to CBD with lots of restaurants and pubs. It was perfect for our needs. However, it would probably be too small for a family stay. Would book again next time we're in Darwin.
