“Fantastic Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

We stayed at Vibe Darwin Waterfront for three nights at the end of January, and absolutely loved it...

Check in was friendly and efficient, our room was perfect, immaculately cleaned with a great view over the wave pool!

We had cocktails by the pool one afternoon, a great snack in Curve restaurant one afternoon, and then wandered down to Fiddlers Green for a few pints... Perfect!

We even ran into the Hotel Manager Luke in the foyer and he offered his favourite suggestions of restaurants and tourist attractions for us!

We can't fault the team at Vibe Darwin- looking forward to returning during the busy dry season and staying once again at Vibe!

“The best sunrise I have ever seen!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

Me and my girlfriend stayed here at the start of a 6 week whistle stop tour of Aussie. The hotel is in a great location right on the water with lots of nice bars and places to eat right on the doorstep. The pool is small but nice to cool off in and the food at 'the curve' bar downstairs is good.

There is a foot bridge that connects the hotel to the main strip of shops/bars in Darwin and the Esplanade which is handy as its away from all the noise but close enough to get there if thats what you are looking for.

All in all good stay and would stay again. see picture for the sunrise!!!

“I've stayed in worse”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I stayed for two weeks and found my apartment room to be comfortable and just the right size for an 'away from home' extended stay.
I wouldnt say the room cleaning service was great. Friendly but certainly need to spend more time cleaning. Let me put it this way. I wouldnt be drinking from the glass in the bathroom with out giving it a good thorough clean first. And when i requested a replacement face cloth to be told that there were none because the washing machine broke down just isnt good enough.
I didnt use any of their facilities so I cant comment on those.

“No complaints”

Nice room, miles of often un-air-conditioned corridors, but no complaints. The associated Curves restaurant is convenient, but has nothing else to recommend it. Try one of the many restaurants on Mitchell Street.
