Best View in Darwin! Premium locale, beachside 2BR
great location, lovely sea breeze and verandah to sit on to watch sunset. Spotless bathrooms, comfortable beds and lots of cups, bowls, utensils etc. This apartment is definitely not for anyone with mobility issues as there are lots of stairs and no lift however the climb is worth the beautiful ocean views. We loved this apartment.

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.

Beachfront Studio Apartment
Great little unit opposite the Nightcliff pool. Excellent air-conditioning. Bed was very comfortable and had nice bedding. Cupboards had heaps of coat hangers. Washing machine was great. if there was anything that could improve it was the kitchen utensils.

Beachfront Bliss | Studio Apt on the Foreshore
The apartment was very thoughtfully set up with extras that you really need when traveling lightly. Soft esky, beach towels, yoga mat, picnic gear and t pot made a big difference. The space is light and airy and balcony a great place to sit with lovely views and breeze.

Brilliant Harbour Views & Lap Pool: walk to shops
Perfect family base in Darwin! We had a fantastic stay in this spacious, well-appointed apartment — it had everything our family of five needed to feel right at home. The waterfront views were stunning and the pool was a definite favourite with the kids. The location was terrific, with Darwin tourist spots just within a short walk away plus having on-site parking made getting around a breeze. Highly recommend for families looking for a relaxed, scenic and super convenient stay.

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.

Foreshore Luxe ~ Nightcliff Pool directly across
Thanks Tamara. Your apartment was just perfect for us in every way. The attention to detail was exceptional & the hamper together with all the extras in the kitchen & bathroom were very welcome. We hope to stay next time we visit our family in Australia.

Salty Anchor - Absolute Waterfront
Just home from our third stay at Loretta’s air bnb. We love the location - a quick walk to the water front. We also love the positioning of the apartment. Nothing more relaxing than having a morning coffee watching the sunrise and dapple sun throughout the apartment all times of day. So enjoyable to look out at the water throughout your stay. Loretta’s makes holidaying with two toddler actually relaxing!

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

Ocean View, Private Bathroom
Great place to stay. Lovely area! Great for walking, coffee, pub and lots of food trucks! Fab sunsets. Maddi and Park were very accommodating and great for ideas. Place was incredibly clean ! Highly recommended! Thanks!

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!

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.

Infinity’s Edge: Darwin Luxury Waterfront Oasis
Absolutely would recommend this place to everyone. If we ever return to Darwin with a group will be staying here again. Loved it, had everything we needed, clean and spacious.

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.

Quiet seaside suburb.
Jenny and Peter's home is one of the most beautiful places I've ever stayed. They are such kind and perfect hosts. The room and ensuite is perfect, and the neighbourhood is amazing and the best spot in Darwin. I am so grateful for my memorable stay, and I couldn't recommend it highly enough!

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
You won't find a better location, waterfront, walkable and fabulous restaurants. The apartment had everything you need to cook in (if you wanted), beautiful and clean, great views from the covered patio, air con and ceiling fans, a really comfortable stay. We loved Darwin, would stay here again, highly recommended!!

Pinnacle Penthouse Escape ~ Panoramic views ~ Pool
Absolutely fantastic stay. The house and location were just perfect for a Darwin weekend: the only downside is you only get one key so if the group splits up it can be tricky and they mention blow up beds in the description but we couldn’t find them anywhere. Still we made the most of the beautiful space!

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
Lyall’s place was conveniently located for exploring central Darwin. No need for a car - lots to do in walking distance. Also close to supermarket. Thanks Lyall. We would highly recommend your place.
