Tropical retreat

RobynRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Louise's place was bright, quiet and spacious. It was very well appointed with thoughtful touches for travellers such as ground coffee and great museli. The studio was spotless and with a great kitchen. Within walking distance of Rapid Creek markets and nice walking along the creek paths. Easy drive to Casaurina and Nightcliffe beaches and food trucks. Quick also to get into town or up to Casaurina Mall

Golden Sands Retreat Beach House

Anne-MarieRating, 5 stars6 days ago
A beautiful house and location. Torana was very helpful, friendly and accommodating. Our family booked out the units and the main house and enjoyed a relaxing long weekend with stunning views, beach time, fishing and relaxing on the deck. We had everything we need to prepare enough food for everyone using the utensils and cook wear on site and the well layer out up stairs kitchen and clean bbqs and fire pit. The kids entertained themselves at the pool, or enjoying the various games provided. The pool table and arcade games were a hit. A great place to create beautiful memories.

Cullen Bay Villa

NicholasRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had a great experience during our second stay at this property in Cullen Bay. Justine provides a comfortable home equipped with everything needed for an enjoyable stay. It was relaxing taking a dip in the pool and we enjoyed exploring the nearby shops, restaurants, and marina. The location is very convenient, just a short drive from Darwin city and the waterfront. We appreciated having parking available for our car, and using Uber was a hassle-free option for those without one. We would recommend this property for a nice stay in Darwin.

Private garden studiovan near Darwin’s best beach

CatherineRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Edan was an excellent host, flexible with check-in & out as I had a flight arriving around midnight and afternoon bus when leaving. I had a few logistical issues being back in Australia which he was very helpful about, he very kindly drove me to the bus and helped with my bags, as I had a minor injury. He provided bikes which was appreciated. Some kitchen basics ie salt & pepper, oil, chopping board were missing but fantastic electric appliances & large fridge and he was receptive to ideas ie sofa/hammock. As expected caravans heat up a lot, he provided an extra fan and black out curtains were good for sleeping.

Spacious Home ready for you to relax.

JanRating, 5 stars7 months ago
From the time we arrived till checkout, we had the most amazing time thanks to Ken and his hospitality. Ken looked after us awesomely and bent over backwards to make sure we had the best time. The house was immaculate and had everything and more than we could have asked for. Was a beautiful experience, sitting in the pool, looking through the tropical garden and identifying all the native birds that have called Ken’s place home. Thank you Ken.

Villa Marina Darwin: 4 bed, 3 bath w/ Pool+Cinema!

EricaRating, 5 stars17 months ago
This is a fabulous home to holiday in with so much space, a brilliant kitchen and amazing outdoor entertaining with BBQ area. The pool has great views of the marina. Everything is so close, but felt like you’re in the safest part of town. Also, Dany has her finger on the pulse with best things to do in Darwin and suggested some amazing things to do. I have to say, after sweltering in 36 degrees for most of the days, the home cinema was such a hit not just with us but with our boys too. The hosts are exceptionally responsive and nothing is a bother. We’ll be back!

Riparian entertainments

JanetteRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The place was perfect for our group of 5 adults. Plenty of kitchen items and linen. Aircon worked well so we were very comfortable. Ability to sit outside in the verandah was a bonus. Had a beeping smoke alarm but cleaner was very responsive and came and replaced battery. One bedroom is up a flight of stairs. Thanks Jordan great place.

Your guide to Darwin

All About Darwin

Rich in industrial history, Aboriginal culture, and untamed wilderness, Darwin is the capital of Australia’s Northern Territory and a gateway to the World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park. Darwin is home to the Larrakia People, the traditional owners of the region. Proximity to Southeast Asia and many Pacific islands have also blessed the city with a diverse, multicultural community, evident in the famous Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, where you can enjoy grilled local barramundi and chips alongside mouth-watering spicy laksa or savour mud crabs next to pandan chicken.

There are dramatic gorges and rainforests to explore at the Kakadu, co-managed by First Nations and Parks Australia, where you can immerse yourself in Darwin’s indigenous history at its numerous rock art sites. Spot prehistoric crocodiles, take a scenic flight over the waterways, wander the beachfront, or simply sit back and watch the sun set over the Arafura Sea. After dark, the bars of Mitchell Street offer plenty of buzz, while the Waterfront Quarter has a more low-key vibe, and Stokes Hill Wharf is a haven for seafood.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Darwin

Most people choose to visit in the dry season, which runs from June to September. This time of the year usually brings clear skies, minimal rainfall, and low humidity, offering great conditions to explore the region’s national parks, embark on scenic hikes, and see the vast array of wildlife that typically gathers around the rugged landscape’s waterholes. The wet season runs from November to March and is usually a much quieter time to visit Darwin. These months can be very humid, and there’s a strong chance of storms and monsoon rains. While not as pleasant as the dry season, this is a great time to explore Darwin with fewer fellow visitors, see the waterfalls in Kakadu National Park in full flow, and take a crocodile tour.


Top things to do in Darwin

The Tiwi Islands

A collection of 11 islands, the Tiwi archipelago sits across the Timor Sea from Darwin. Visitors arrive via ferry, with services running three times a week. Aboriginal arts centres showcase locally crafted artwork, pottery, and jewellery, while fishing, crabbing, and swimming at Tomorapi Falls are also major draws.

Mindil Beach Sunset Markets

Darwin’s Mindil Beach Sunset Markets are amongst the most famous in Australia. These colourful stalls are set up every Thursday and Sunday from April until October, making up over 200 specialty stores and food vendors. Try indigenous ingredients, including Kakadu plum, lemon myrtle, and green ants, and eat your way around the world with the wide range of street food on show.

Litchfield National Park

Along with Kakadu National Park, a visit to the Litchfield National Park is one of the key reasons many people visit Darwin. This spectacular expanse of nature contains a number of majestic waterfalls and waterholes where you can safely swim and cool off on hot days. The park is also known for its huge magnetic termite mounds and offers a range of walks for all levels of ability, as well as incredible viewing platforms and picnic spots.
