Good Rest After A Late Flight

For a late arrival in Darwin this is an excellent choice. Very surprised at the extent of the facilities at this complex of three Accor hotels. Our breakfast was also of a very high standard.

Convenient and Relaxing Stay at Novotel Darwin Airport We had a great experience at Novotel Darwin Airport. The location is excellent—perfectly situated for easy access to the airport and ideal for day trips around the area. We especially enjoyed the beautiful hotel grounds and spent a lot of time relaxing by the inviting pool, which was a real highlight. A convenient and comfortable base for exploring Darwin!

I stayed in 2 rooms over 4 days which were completely different. The 1st stay was a room with 2 x double beds that needed replacing and a older type room, overdue for renovation but clean and adequate. The 2nd stay I had an update modern room which was smaller than the 1st but good for 2 people with a queen bed.
