"Excellent accommodation on the Esplanade. Close to restaurants and pubs. Loved the pool. Quiet and family friendly. You can lay for breakfast, but there is no restaurant for dinner. Aircon and a ceiling fan provided a great room temp. Would definitely return if ever back in Darwin."

Argus Apartments Darwin

10/10 Excellent

"We had a huge, clean apartment with a lovely view. Rainbow lorakeets in the trees in front of our balcony. Up the hill and a few streets back from the water front so nice and quiet. If you are a walker as we are, it's a perfect location. Only a 10 minute walk to the water and lots to offer around the complex as well. I would stay here again if in Darwin."
