Great place for a morning wander, coffee and/or brunch/lunch. Like most wharves, it can get very hot, but there's a pleasant sea breeze, shaded seating, several food outlets, including what looks like a good reastaurant. There's always something happening on the water for interest. More

The wharf has a nice relaxed, casual feeling. Be careful with small children as the wharf is not fenced. At the end of the wharf is a restaurant... More

Recently enjoyed a lunch of Barramundi Fish and yummy chips with a super fresh salad at the Wharf Precinct in Darwin. The fish was served with a very crisp batter and beautifully cooked. More

If you have kids this is a great place to spend a day. Lots of cafes and interesting things to do but the the best is the wave pool right in the middle of town!! More

While staying in Darwin we visited the wharf area, and the wave pool was great kids of all ages were having a ball. Due to Darwin having Crocs the wave pool was build to allow people to swim in safety and it’s well worth going to. The pool gets very full, but on a hot day who cares. The lovely... More

We had a lovely walk along the wharf and looking back into the city. We went during the week and it was very quite. The eateries all sold the same food, barra, seafood etc and there was a nice bar area. Maybe on the weekend it livens up. More

Visits to the Wharf go back more than 4 years, a favourite place to have a shared meal or by myself. To go aboard cruises such as the really great cruise aboard the Alfred Nobel. Loved all the cruises, especially The Alfred Nobel. Love to see all the ships visiting when I can too More
