About this property
Driftwood Loft Tropical Gateway to Bayfront and CBD
Escape to this spacious Fannie Bay retreat, where beach strolls, leafy parks, cultural highlights and vibrant cafés are just steps away. Designed for couples or friends, this peaceful home features a full kitchen, breezy balcony, and an inviting living area. Cool off in the sparkling shared pool, relax in ultimate comfort with split-system air conditioning and heating, and enjoy the ease of off-street parking. With Darwin CBD and the airport just minutes away, your tropical escape starts here.
Perched among the treetops, this peaceful Fannie Bay apartment invites you to slow down and soak up the coastal lifestyle. Step into the inviting living area, where an L-shaped sofa, TV, and leafy details create a calm, welcoming space to relax and recharge.
The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with an oven, dishwasher, coffee machine, and all the pantry essentials to make cooking feel effortless. Just beside it, a round four-seater dining table sets the scene for lingering meals, framed by lush greenery views through sunlit windows. After dining, step out onto your private balcony—an ideal spot for sunset drinks and laid-back conversation beneath the palms and balmy Darwin skies.
Positioned at the rear of the apartment, the bedroom offers a restful retreat with a queen bed dressed in crisp linen, a mirrored wardrobe for easy storage, and air conditioning to keep nights cool. The bathroom offers a refreshing space to begin and end the day, with a shower and complimentary toiletries. A discreet laundry nook with a washer and dryer ensures extended stays feel seamless.
After a day of exploring, take a refreshing dip in the shared pool, a serene oasis tucked among lush tropical gardens. Inside, stay comfortable year-round with split-system air conditioning and heating, plus ceiling fans. A highchair and a portacot can be provided on request, and off-street parking is available in the carport for one vehicle. Please note, the apartment is located on the third floor and accessed via stairs only, which may not be suitable for those with mobility limitations. One room is locked and not available for guest use.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire apartment to yourselves, as well as access to the building shared facilities including a pool. Please make yourselves at home!
Positioned in Fannie Bay, this apartment offers easy access to local dining, nature, and cultural highlights. Within a three-minute walk, enjoy Thai at Medee Eatery, steak pies from Outback Bakery, or a relaxed brunch at the popular Coolspot Café. The Darwin Sailing Club, just 15 minutes on foot, is perfect for sunset dining by the sea. For essentials, a supermarket is just steps away.
East Point Reserve is a four-minute stroll, with walking trails and remnants of World War II history, while Lake Alexander nearby offers a calm spot for picnics. Walk six minutes to Sunset Beach for sweeping coastal views, or head seven minutes to the historic Fannie Bay Gaol Museum.
On weekends, visit Parap Village Markets, just 1.5km away, and enjoy the famous laksa and live music. The Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory is a four-minute drive. Darwin’s CBD and the airport are within an eight-minute drive, making this an ideal base for exploring the Top End.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
