The apartment was great. Roomy, clean and very comfortable. All you needed to cook a simple meal. Good coffee at the Bakery across the road. Bit of a hike to a supermarket as the fine Foods store is pretty pricey.

High quality and very well maintained.
Great property which is very well run and maintained. Awesome facilities in the room. My only downside was the air conditioning did not run as cold as I would have liked - I think the filters needed cleaning. The manager is very helpful and obviously the whole team takes pride in maintenance and cleanliness. Also there are 3-4 good restaurants very nearby.

Elsey is very comfortable, and all is kept in great condition. The pool is nice, and I found I was always able to find time to myself there. I did find the aircon not quite up to the task though this didn't impact comfort too much and is likely an easy fix with a simple filter clean. There are shops and a small grocer across the road which was extremely helpful and their produce is top quality. I would go back again.

Happy in Elsey on Parap
Large 2 BR Apt, suitably furnished & equipped, very clean, comfortable & quiet (side/rear facing apt). Secure free parking. Good free wifi. Could do with some high quality latex pillows, but that's just my preference. Short walk to the Parap pool. Food & drink supplies are just over the road or up the road a bit. Beach is a bit of a walk & its walking path through the lagoon/swamp is not much fun in the heat & humidity but memorable (bring lots of water & sunscreen, watch out for possible crocs). Uber into town/waterfront was $13, airport $20. No staff/reception on site, but manager was available via text/mobile. Checkin via keys in lockbox.

The apartments were spacious and clean with everything you need. Big balcony and nice pool. Great location opposite Parap shops. Car parks are a bit small for 4WD but not a big issue
Lovely apartment, very clean and modern. The pool and gardens are well maintained. We stayed on the second floor and our room was very quiet. The bed and furniture was comfortable. We loved having a full kitchen and laundry facilities in our room. The aircon and ceiling fans provided a welcome relief to the heat outdoors. We used the pool a lot and it was lovely to have a swim each evening. The undercover gated carpark was handy. The location is great with a bakery and other shops right across the road. The beach is a short drive away. We couldn't figure out how to use the TV remotes. Housekeeping is limited and the office was only open for a few hours each morning but that was a minor inconvenience. There was building work going on in the carpark which was noisy and made parking difficult at times but we were out every day so it wasn't too bad. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend this apartment to others. We would definitely stay here again.
As we where in Darwin for the School Australia National Track & Field Championships we found the location extremely handy to the Sports Complex and being directly opposite a small shopping village also handy.
The accommodation met all our requirements and was very clean.
