Barefoot Beach Apartment Darwin Waterfront
This apartment was in a great part of Darwin, walkable to the city, restaurants on our doorstep and easy access to transport. The apartment had all that we required for our stay. It was very private and not accessible to others. We would stay there again. Thank you Kim.

Brilliant Harbour Views & Lap Pool: walk to shops
Perfect family base in Darwin! We had a fantastic stay in this spacious, well-appointed apartment — it had everything our family of five needed to feel right at home. The waterfront views were stunning and the pool was a definite favourite with the kids. The location was terrific, with Darwin tourist spots just within a short walk away plus having on-site parking made getting around a breeze. Highly recommend for families looking for a relaxed, scenic and super convenient stay.

Live Work Play Darwin Waterfront
It's a great place to stay with everything within walking distance, restaurants, waterfront,city and nice views

Stylish apartment in heart of city
Yasmine's apartment was in a great location and perfect for two couples with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and lots of space! We had all of the amenities needed and everything was clean! Yasmine was a great host with clear instructions and always responsive. The location was walking distance to the Esplanade, Waterfront, pubs, shops and restaurants. I would definitely recommend this place to stay in Darwin city.

Uran Beachfront Nightcliff
Marias place is lovely and in an excellent location on the Nightcliffe foreshore. The place is a small, self contained studio but the perfect size for me, as one person visiting. It was exceptionally clean and inviting. Maria herself is a warm, helpful host who was very responsive.

Salty Anchor - Absolute Waterfront
Just home from our third stay at Loretta’s air bnb. We love the location - a quick walk to the water front. We also love the positioning of the apartment. Nothing more relaxing than having a morning coffee watching the sunrise and dapple sun throughout the apartment all times of day. So enjoyable to look out at the water throughout your stay. Loretta’s makes holidaying with two toddler actually relaxing!

1 Bedrm Apartment Darwin City - Sunset and Balcony
Excellent stay in Darwin. Stayed 5 nights on a business trip. Great view, private unit on 14th floor with a handy workstation desk. Walking distance to Woolworths and all the great restaurants/pubs and a 20min walk to Stokes Wharf. Definitely reccommed a sunrise walk to that location as one of Darwins best. Thanks Sherl, hope to stay again.

Seabreeze Beach House, Spectacular Sunset Views
We had an excellent stay. Will definitely be back. Thanks so much for having us. The perfect Easter getaway

Beautiful Bayview King Beds Pool Water frontage
I recently stayed at Matthew’s place with a group of friends for a holiday in Darwin. Matthew’s place was absolutely fantastic and a wonderful experience for our group. It was exactly as described in the listing, and was a fantastic place for a group to enjoy sunny Darwin. The house is very spacious, full of amenities and had a lovely outdoor area also. Matthew was very quick to respond whenever we had a query and the check in and check out process was simple and exactly as described. We never once had any issue with the house and would recommend it to anyone staying in Darwin.

Ocean View, Private Bathroom
Great place to stay. Lovely area! Great for walking, coffee, pub and lots of food trucks! Fab sunsets. Maddi and Park were very accommodating and great for ideas. Place was incredibly clean ! Highly recommended! Thanks!

Zen Serene Seascape: Family Pool ~ BBQ ~ Markets
Fantastic place to spend the week - super comfortable and great tropical feel around the pool! Loved the area - close to Parap and Mindil Beach Markets and a lovely walk/bike ride around East Point. Would definitely return!

Water-Front Paradise: Pool - BBQ - Balcony Dining
Fantastic 5 night stay in this beautiful property. Location is great, not too far from shops, and such a spacious property. So much space in and outside the house. Well equipped kitchen. Lovely relaxed and balinese vibe to the property. Loved our stay. Benji was so prompt and friendly with communication.

Room-Beautiful Bayview Townhouse - 5 mins to CBD
Always a great place to stay in Darwin! Denielle makes sure that everything is provided and the home is clean and comfortable. It is "over and above" most AirBnb accommodation. Denielle is also incredibily friendly and any guest would feel immediately comfortable in her home. The location is quiet, secure and a short bus-ride, UBER or taxi in to the Darwin CBD or Waterfront. Still one of the best AirBnb's that I have stayed at, and I am likely to re-visit.

Cullen Bay Villa
Amazing location with beautiful sunsets! Watch the sun go down from the patio or join the locals and have drinks and nibblies on the grassed public area in front of villa. Bike paths make it easy to access Military Museum, Museum & Art Gallery, Mindel Beach markets, sunset at Ski Club, Casino and all the city sights. We hired electric bikes for the week from Phil at Bicycle Fix. Great restaurants within walking distance. The Villa was well appointed with absolutely everything you need for your stay and many surprise items that are not found at other homes (ie. fishing rods, kayaks, staple pantry and laundry items). Thanks for the special local gifts. Comfortable beds and relaxed furniture. Perfect for our annual adult family holiday (8 adults) with plenty of different areas to come together or have your own space. Thanks for sharing your home with us Justine and making our holiday in Darwin memorable. Everyone enjoyed their stay.

Quiet seaside suburb.
Jenny and Peter's home is one of the most beautiful places I've ever stayed. They are such kind and perfect hosts. The room and ensuite is perfect, and the neighbourhood is amazing and the best spot in Darwin. I am so grateful for my memorable stay, and I couldn't recommend it highly enough!

You won't find a better location, waterfront, walkable and fabulous restaurants.

We loved Darwin, would stay here again, highly recommended!!

Darwin Waterfront 2-bedroom apartment
Location of the property was ideal, having all the eateries a plus, the Lagoon and Wave Pool close by, as well as the Wharf Precinct. Would like to see a cleaner balcony for our next visit. Overall the accommodation was lovely, if it wasn't for the 4pm check in time we would have rated our experience 4 1/2 stars.

Way more on offer than what we initially expected! The views and the rooms were amazing! Great huge kitchen and living room felt really comfortable and right at home. Easy to get in and out of the home, neighbours and other residents were very friendly and helpful too! Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Darwin.

CBD Esplanade Location - Quiet & Comfortable
Lyall’s place was conveniently located for exploring central Darwin. No need for a car - lots to do in walking distance. Also close to supermarket. Thanks Lyall. We would highly recommend your place.
