Excellent apartment, everything you need! Nice pool and alfresco area. Unfortunately you do need a car if you’re going to get around Darwin itself as it’s too far out of the city centre for many of the major attractions and markets without.

Fantastic hotel!! Very comfortable and clean, it’s a great spot if you’re wanting to explore the NT and not just Darwin, we did day trips to Litchfield and Adelaide River. Great restaurant for dinner and we had lovely drinks by the pool. We had planned to stay at a different hotel for our second weekend in Darwin after travelling to Kakadu, but we loved it so much we booked to go back here instead. Thank you!

Palmerston is WAY overpriced due to the gas plant, especially given it's location near nothing substantial, but there was no faulting the accommodation and the staff. Beautifully clean and friendly professional people, worth it to not have to drive the 30-40 minutes back and forth from town every day after visiting family with 4 kids asking, "are we there yet?" :)

Expensive breakfast but well worth it for good range & choice. Technology could do with some updating; no USB points for charging in rooms [and no spares available from reception]. They don't have any scissors in reception either. Watch the cleaning staff: they may only replace one towel each day in room for 2 pp.
