“Pet friendly spacious high rise living in the heart of Darwin”
Travelling with our dog, it was a novelty to be in a high rise brand hotel! The room was spacious and well equipped with two beds, couch, microwave and full size fridge and guest laundry. Location is right next to the mall - couldn't be closer to everything!

“Fantastic rooms, staff and location”
Had a fantastic stay. The room was a great size and had a kitchen and living area. Housekeeping was great, room was cleaned and had fresh towels every day. Location was excellent, right in the centre of the city but no noise in the room. We had a late flight on the day we left and were able to store our bags and use the pool and pool showers after we checked out which was much appreciated. The staff were really friendly and helpful, would definitely stay here again.

“Overall a pleasant stay in central Darwin.”
The staff did their best however the property is geared for self check in/check out which can be cumbersome for older people. We liked the central location and quiet address however the air con in the room was noisy.
