Totally disappointed. Photos on website for same room booked were completely different. What we got was a dismal dark room. This property is totally overpriced. There is an absorbant charge if you arrive early. Food at resturant was ok but very pricey. There is nothing around so no other choices. Pool was clean, bathroom in room was clean, but bedding...

I stayed here for a quick stop over. I really like the open reception area and the pool here, it gives the place a relaxed open feeling. Why is it that TV's in hotel rooms (geberally speaking)rarely have good reception?????? Huge bathroom in the room - and very clean

The airport resort offers comfortable accomodation and I use it when I transition from a late flight in to an early flight out. I have stayed in the bungalows which are great, fully self contained with small kitchen, lounge room and seperate bedroom, the small deck outside is also nice. The rooms are not large but are clean and well... More

Wonderful place for a transit overnight or just a decent meal and drink in lovely surroundings within easy walking distance of the Darwin terminal. Especially with the renovations and poor bar area at the airport at the moment.

Not up to resort standards. No room service, so always at the mercy of the kitchen. No self cooking arrangements,so always have to order from kitchen.And collect it yourself. My non smoking room smelled of stale smoke.

We are a Darwin local family and stayed in a resort room overnight before an early flight. Nice room although a bit musty and probably needs a spring clean, the chair coverings were quite dirty. Otherwise fine. Helpful staff at reception and a wonderful pool that the kids loved. We'd stay again.
