A lovely place to stay

The best thing about this property is that it is adjacent to the Botanical Gardens, which meant no traffic noise, and a gorgeous place to walk each morning. It is also an easy distance to the city and Mindil Beach.It's also well appointed and comfy.

Relaxing Break

The place was exactly as described, a quiet spacious unit easy to access in a central location. The views were relaxing, right next to the Botanical Gardens with hidden dinosaurs to spot. Only minutes from Darwin centre yet a world away from noise and traffic.

Great location

Positives - air conditioning in living and bedrooms, ceiling fans in living and bedrooms, pool, free car parking, great location, quiet area, large living area plus balcony, lovely touch to provide salt, pepper and cooking oil. Thank you. Negatives - exhaust fans not working in toilet and bathroom, shower could do with more water pressure seeing as the water pressure in the laundry trough is fast.
