Fully self contained Unit close to Airport
We had a super time at Brenda’s- the pool was relaxing after a day of work; great location for what I needed. Brenda was very helpful and friendly-

Spring Homestead
This is the place to be if you like to avoid the city. This location was very peaceful. Extremely good value for money. Highly recommend.

The Pavilion
Catherine's unit was the perfect base for my two week stay in Darwin. It was close to the local shops and importantly uni. As a single female traveller I appreciated the safety of having people nearby in the house while also having my own space and privacy. The unit is perfectly built for the tropical Darwin climate. I loved that it was cool and comfortable in the heat without having to blast the aircon. Catherine and her family are amazing hosts. They are all friendly and helpful.

Private rural escape with your own pool.
If you’re looking for a place to unwind out of the “smoke”, then Alana’s place is it. Very comfortable with anything you might need for both short and long stays. Facilities at Coolalinga abt 20 mins away if you’re desperate for company. Would definitely stay here again if I were visiting the top end. Also shortens the journey to Kakadu and all points south. Well done

Tropical Retreat Nightcliff
A lovely spacious and comfortable guesthouse in a great location. Very close to shops and cafes and an easy walk to Nightcliff foreshore. Mel and Brad were both very friendly, responsive and helpful. Also loved being greeted by Henry the dog. Thanks Mel and Brad

Tropical retreat
Louise was lovely and welcoming and the flat super clean, spacious and quiet. we appreciated having a kitchen area for cooking and a couch to chill on. The flat is a 2 min walk from Rapid Creek Market and a 5 min walk from the Sabine Rd shops. Also walking distance to the airport, if you're keen. A wonderful stay.

Sweet stand-alone granny flat.
Lovely spot, convenient for the airport and northern suburbs.

Spacious Granny Flat hidden amongst fruit trees
Mia is a joyful delight, very generous & Welcoming Host. The Air Bnb Flat actually felt like a cool tropical oasis in the Darwin 'build up ' & it had everything we needed & felt homely for the near 2 weeks stay. The Flat is a large private 1 bedroom building separate but close to the main house & their outdoor living space. Older style decor, yet well appointed & functional space to live in for a long stays inc a fantastic new Washing machine. Felt comfortable & safe plus in an ideal location close to the hospital & airport, shopping centre. We Appreciated Mia's attentiveness, all the healthy food she shared & care during our convalescence stay. Thank-u Mia! Highly Recommended.

Tropical Calm
The accomodation was great, the location is perfect for visiting the nature reserves in the area: Foggy Dam, Howard Springs Reserve, Charles Darwin Reserve etc. It was a perfect choice for a wildlife photographic holiday. The cottage was well equiped, modern and clean. The veranda looking out onto a beautiful tropical garden was an unexpected pleasure. Abigail was a wonderful host. All the essentials were provided for the stay, even including some free range eggs. This will be my first choice for any future trips to the area. Thank you Abi.

'The Abode' - Off-Street Parking
I had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Abode in Darwin! The space was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, making sure I felt at home from the moment I arrived. The location was perfect, nestled in a quiet and peaceful area. Enjoyed the tropical ambiance. I highly recommend The Abode to anyone visiting Darwin. It’s a perfect retreat for both short and extended stays. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Tropical Temira
If I could give 6 stars to Kathleen, I would. Her apartment was absolutely stunning, with a super comfy bed, lots of amenities (shampoo, body lotion, information booklet, local leaflets, TV, radio) with a beautiful pool in wonderful surroundings. The neighbourhood was so tranquil, within walking distance of everywhere we needed to be, including the city centre. This is the best Air BnB we’ve stayed at: Kathleen was so hospitable and kind, even loaning me some wildlife guidebooks to read! Thank you so much Kathleen. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here. A home away from home. Perfect.

Guesthouse in Wanguri
Well appointed room and excellent location, with a responsive and pleasant host ready to provide support. Reliable and trouble free.

Casuarina Garden Studio
A bright comfortable well appointed space. The hosts managed to balance a fine line of being attentive to any needs or queries I had and giving me space to feel free to use the amenities available on site. The host took the time to leave some breakfast and gourmet items in the fridge as the late arrivals common to Darwin means you are waking up on your 1st morning there without having had a chance to get something for breakfast. Extremely thoughtful and was greatly appreciated.

Granny Flat on Gordon - Modern, tropical, private
Emma’s place is perfectly positioned close to town and the airport, with Parap village only a couple of minutes walk away. It was very clean, comfortable and (importantly) easy to cool in the heat - with ceiling fans and aircon in both the living area and the bedroom. The bedroom has a nice king bed (plus a single) and the pool was a huge plus. The unit had everything we needed and we particularly appreciated the laundry facilities. The family live above but are terrific hosts and totally respect guest privacy. Secure off-street parking is available or you can just park on the street right out the front if you’re terrible at reversing like me! We really enjoyed our stay and would very highly recommend Emma’s place if you’re visiting Darwin.

Cosy (ladies only) room tropical paradise Leanyer
Cute and cozy! Private and peaceful part of Darwin’s suburb. Hayley and her family are warm, welcoming and helpful.

Yakka Downs Rural Retreat
Had an brilliant and peaceful stay for our honeymoon. Very friendly and helpful hosts.

Spacious Two Bedroom guest house in Nightcliff
Loved our stay here. Thoughtful & generous hosts who put their visitors' comforts first. Everything about our stay was wonderful. Love the location- close to markets & the beach. Loved the care taken when we arrived to make sure there was everything we might need & more. My favourite stay ever.

A home away from home
I moved to Darwin for work and was staying for a month. Thalia’s is a great location as it was 15 mins from where I work and everything else, including Darwin, Mindil Beach & other local attractions is only 10-15 mins away. Staying under someone’s family home was daunting at first. I barely knew they were there. The space is generous in size and really comfortable. Everything I needed was available. Thalia is an amazing host, answering all communication really quickly. If I needed to again, I would happily stay again.

Romantic Stylish Space, Private SPA & Shared POOL
The Place was great. very easy to access , with clear and helpful instructions. When we entered, the place was very clean and welcoming. The Neighbourhood was quiet and peaceful. 5 stars from us.

Girraween Rural Retreat Gorgeous Lagoon Pool
This is a real gem! There is an overwhelming feeling of peace and well-being in this place, so quiet and relaxing. David and Sue are the best hosts you could hope for, always up for a chat, yet respecting of your privacy at all times. Blaze and Honey, the pet dingoes, are extremely gentle and kind-natured and a joy to be around. The natural garden surrounding the retreat is stunning and the resort style pool is just gorgeous, only a short walk from the retreat through the garden. The retreat is extremely well presented, modern, clean, tidy and like a home away from home with everything you could possibly need. A massive verandah along the side of the whole retreat with a big daybed means that you can lie and read a good book while watching a thunderstorm roll through if you happen to be lucky enough to experience one on your stay. This is the second time that we have stayed here (both were at least one week stays), and we can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend!
