Top Darwin Waterfront Hotel Reviews

Nightcap at the Cavenagh

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely helpful staff. Food and drinks were amazing and fantastic value."

Rydges Darwin Central

10/10 Excellent

"Great clean place"

Palms City Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Room and service was great Pool was a bit overcrowded but plenty to see and experience around resort and close by"

Argus Apartments Darwin

10/10 Excellent

"A perfect 3 night stay with everything we needed, well equipped kitchen, washer & dryer, clean accommodation, comfortable bed & great location close to everything!"

Vibe Hotel Darwin Waterfront

8/10 Good

"Good location for the convention centre and rooms a good size for a few day stay. Check in staff were super helpful and friendly throughout the stay which wad appreciated. I would stay again if in Darwin."

The Leea Darwin

10/10 Excellent

"Decent place to stay. Looking forward to the pool area being finished."

DoubleTree by Hilton Darwin Esplanade

8/10 Good

"Concierge was very helpful considerate and inviting from the moment we arrived, the hotel itself was very clean and the rooms delightful and would stay again the only downfall was they would not replenish the water bottles or the small milks every day (we were there for 5 days) for the kettle in our room so we could have coffee. but one word to the staff and they would rectify it straight away, ideal location close to the waterfront and main streets easy to get to places for dining"

Courtyard By Marriott Darwin

10/10 Excellent

"The room was well appointed. The in house dining option very tasteful and location to the event venue I was going to perfect"

Mindil Beach Casino Resort

8/10 Good

"Rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly. The location was great — just a 5 min drive to the city and close to Mindil Beach, the markets and camel rides. There is free public parking available, or secure parking for $20 per night, which I felt was a little steep. While we had no issues during our stay, I would like to see more secure access to the resort, as some areas can be accessed by the general public. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend it. If you can, I’d suggest booking a stay with breakfast included. We’ll definitely be back!"
