Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Darwin

The Summer Guesthouse in Darwin was everything we were hoping for from our three-night stay between Kakadu and the Kimberley. The location was really convenient, very close to the major Casuarina shopping centre and an easy 15-20 minute drive to the major attractions of Mindil Beach and the Waterfront area. The house itself was spotlessly clean, well appointed and extras like Netflix, beautiful swimming pool, and a tranquil Bali-resort style undercover upstairs deck. Eva is a gracious host - welcoming and easily contactable but equally respectful of guests privacy too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and finished our stay having recharged, relaxed and restocked ready for the next leg of our big NT adventure!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beatas place. The property is located in a great spot, on a quiet street and close to shopping centres and local attractions. The property is very inviting and homely. Beata was super helpful and timely in her responses, making check in, check out and general enquires a breeze. We're glad we booked Beatas Air BnB as it presents great value for money. Thanks Beata!

Home away from home. This house had every thing we needed and more. Our family loved the house and the pool. The kids corner inside and outside kept our kids entertained which was so relaxing for us. We loved visiting the green tree frog and fishes every morning. We have recommended this house to family and highly recommend it to anyone staying in Darwin. Thanks Sean & Cate

We were seeking a booking very last minute and Shelley got back to us late at night and was extremely helpful with the whole process. Shelley also was able to get us a cot last minute and brought around sheets for us as well. The whole process was very easy and Shelley was very responsive and hospitable, couldn't have asked for better.

The house worked out perfectly for a family reunion. Close to the city,walking distance to restaurants. Thank- you.

Wonderful place to stay, welcoming and comfortable. Host was great with her communication and answered all my questions quickly. The townhouse was central to my needs and made my stay in Darwin with my dogs stress free. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Darwin.

Spotless, superb accommodation with everything you need for a visit to Darwin. Close to the airport and with a lovely ambience this was a fabulous stay! We really liked all the local recommendations and the fact that everything we needed was close at hand. Thank you for a lovely stay Jeanette!

Nick was a great host with an exceptional house. Very helpful when communicating. House had absolutely everything you could want and was extremely comfortable. Quiet location and no issues whatsoever during our stay.

The location and room were awesome. Diego was a helpful and responsive host.

Chris’ place was amazing; very clean and well equiped. Also close to Airport as well as Darwin CBD. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks Chris

Was up for work for a week and a few days holidays tagged on the end. A great place to stay, felt safe, secure. Berta was great with communication. Greeted with a few snacks in the room on arrival, free secure parking, balcony with water views as per the pics, free internet and netflix , washing machine with laundry detergent. Everything was comfortable in the unit and it was easy walk to the supermarket, many cafes, restaurants, bars. Pool was nice. Sure, if you are really fussy you can find issues with anything, but I will be checking availability next time I am heading to Darwin as I thought the place was great.

Serena’s studio was cosy, comfortable and in an unbeatable location. It was extremely well appointed, with a number of thoughtful touches. I would definitely stay here again!

This is the best equipped apartment we have ever stayed in. The location and views are wonderful. We walked and biked everywhere, and it is a short walk to the nightcliff pool, which was not busy. Cafe and the Beachy pub are also easy strolls. Of course, the sunsets were beyond amazing. Thx Shelley, we loved our visit to Darwin.

We had a wonderful 10 day stay. The room was centrally located and it was great to have parking onsite included. Having a kitchenette meant we could prep simple meals if we didn’t feel like eating out. The washer/dryer were convenient for our longer stay.

Like staying at clean and organised friends apartment whilst they are on holiday. Obviously several airbnb’s in the building, and this one was good. Gym is closed for renovations and swimming pool is fairly gloomy, but our small kids had fun for 30 mins before a flight. The flat is exactly as described. No issues at all. The best accommodation we had in NT by a mile (4 places in 1 week). Shame they’re all so expensive.

Thanks Tamara. Your apartment was just perfect for us in every way. The attention to detail was exceptional & the hamper together with all the extras in the kitchen & bathroom were very welcome. We hope to stay next time we visit our family in Australia.

David's place was a perfect base for our long weekend in Darwin. Loved the bread, milk etc on arrival; lovely clean sheets and towels; aircon, fans, laundry facilities. It all made for a lovely, comfy stay. We could walk into town easily, and down to the waterfront. David was fantastic with communication and flexible with check out times etc. Hopefully we'll be back soon!

My stay at Lauren's home was thoroughly enjoyable. An excellent location that is a short walk to shops, cafe, restaurants and the beautiful Fannie Bay waterfront. I'm already hoping this beautiful home is available for my next visit to Darwin.

We had a fantastic stay at this Darwin CBD apartment! The location is perfect — just a stone’s throw away from fishing wharfs and jetties, and within easy driving distance to supermarkets, restaurants, and cafes. Despite being in the heart of the city, the apartment is tucked away on a quiet street, giving us peaceful, restful nights. One of our favourite features was the spacious balcony with a lovely sea view and refreshing breeze — we found ourselves spending a lot of time there, especially in the mornings. The apartment itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The well-equipped kitchen and generous cooking space made it easy for us to prepare our own breakfasts and dinners. Parking was also hassle-free with convenient car park access. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations and made our Darwin trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

My family and I stayed at Doug’s lovely place for a week. His apartment was very spacious, photos don’t do it justice, the apartment is great for families. kitchen fully equipped and a coffee machine and pods for coffee lovers. A fully equipped laundry which is super handy whilst on holidays. A lovely balcony to enjoy a beverage and snacks. Beds and pillows are super comfy with fresh crisp linen. Plenty of board games to keep family entertained. Air conditioners worked great! My family and I didn’t have far to go into CBD to explore or find a restaurant. Great communication with Doug, very quick to respond for any questions. So all in all a wonderful stay! Thank you Doug :)

A wonderful, comfortable and well equipped apartment close to great restaurants. Jodie was so communicative and helpful at every turn. A great spot.

Excellent place to stay, right on the waterfront. Quiet and peaceful, easy to walk into town. High quality apartment and nothing too much trouble to sort out if something needed. Would highly recommended you to stay there if you visiting Darwin

What an amazing pad to stay in while exploring Darwin. This apartment has such a peaceful and picturesque setting right next to the amazing Darwin botanic gardens. The Airbnb is clean, tidy and extremely well stocked with amenities. Karen is a great host that checked in on us, provided flexible check in time, and gave great recommendations for our stay in Darwin. I’ll definitely have to book again for my next trip back!

Nice apartment, don't let the outside of the building fool you. Secure complex with covered parking space available. Apartment was very clean, seems recently renovated as well. Lots of additional little details like really useful things in the kitchen, it was like my mum stocked the kitchen with anything I might possibly need as far as utensils and crockery go. And bonus point for the garlic press 😀 Location is easy walking distance to CBD with lots of restaurants and pubs. It was perfect for our needs. However, it would probably be too small for a family stay. Would book again next time we're in Darwin.
