Darwin is a city that embraces the outdoors, making it a fantastic destination for pet lovers. With its warm climate and stunning natural landscapes, there are plenty of places where you can enjoy quality time with your furry friends. From sprawling parks to beautiful beaches, Darwin offers a variety of pet-friendly spots that cater to both you and your pets. Whether you're looking for a place to let your dog run free or a cozy café where you can relax together, this vibrant city has something for everyone.

One of the highlights of Darwin is the Marlow Lagoon Pet Park, a spacious haven designed specifically for dogs.

With so many options to explore, Darwin is the perfect place to create unforgettable memories with your four-legged companions.

Nature preserve
Holmes Jungle Nature Park, situated east of the airport in Darwin, offers a lush and diverse natural experience for visitors and their canine companions. The park features hiking trails through monsoon forests and savannah landscapes, providing a treat for the senses with its seasonal foliage. While exploring this gorgeous park, it's important to keep dogs on a leash to help conserve the natural ecosystem and ensure everyone can soak up the lovely sights and smells.
Great place for a BBQ. Beautiful view of Darwin city and rich in the Territorys history. Great place to mountain bike with older kids!

Jungle walk is a pretty short, shady stroll -however the Jungle Walk is now re-routed and is no longer a loop but rather an out and back
Alice K — Google review
A couple of short tracks. The "jungle area" is worth checking out. Nothing remarkable though. Note the park is gated and officially opens at 8am. ⛔ Be cautious around the toilets, I think it might be used as a "beat". After a walk, I went into the toilet block and was startled by a guy standing in front of the urinal (faced away from it). I dismissed this as a bit odd and proceeded to enter the cubicle and noticed there was a free condom dispenser and a hole in the wall of the cubicle (seriously), where the other guy was standing. Anyway, I left the cubicle (the guy was still standing in the same place). In addition, there was a guy circling the car park (plenty of parking available). This was all mid-morning! I suggest being cautious around this place.

This is actually a really beautiful place and it is so close to Darwin, but doesn’t seem like too many know about it or bother to visit it. Palm Creek walk is just like walking into a Tropical Jungle with palms and vines everywhere. I’ll have to work out a 5km trail running loop so I can enjoy it’s beauty more often.
Stephen H — Google review
A stunning little walk, scattered with beautiful swimming holes (take your bathers) and wildlife around every corner. Best of all, it's close to the heart of the city as opposed to an hour out of town.

Dog park
Marlow Lagoon Pet Park, situated in the Palmerston City area, is a spacious and well-equipped park designed to provide an enjoyable experience for dogs. The park offers separate fenced areas for different sizes and temperaments of dogs, including sections for small, quiet, and larger dogs with various obstacles. It features acres of off-leash space where dogs can run freely and a large lake where they can swim.
Great park to take your pooches to run and interact with other K-9’s. We have been bringing our 8 month Labrador here for 4 months now. He has graduated from the small enclosure to the Big doggy park.
Rodney B — Google review
Marlow lagoon has a fantastic gated pet park. Quiet when i was there in the early afternoon but have been told later in the afternoon ppl gather, chat and the dogs play and swim...at own risk of course. Terrific kids play areas, cool xylophone & bell donger to keep them amused. Rotundas, bbq's &plenty of places to sit. Even a drinking fountain. Go. Its good 👍🏻

What fantastic park ! Several different areas for different sizes and nature of dogs. The lagoon was a hit with my girl and there’s plenty of space to run. It was great to have modern toilets for us humans as well.

Must be The Best Dog Park in Oz! Fenced area for little dogs, fenced area with lots of obstacles for bigger dogs. Acres of 'off leash' area for a run. And a HUGE lake for a swim. A 'must visit' for any caring human to take their pooch.

We are from SA visiting friends. We were blown away with the size and structure of this park. Amazing for dogs and people alike. I think there are 5 different types of areas to suit dogs quiet, small dog etc. there is a playground, toilets, bbq. Well done council.

George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens is a 42-hectare nature preserve showcasing native and tropical flora, including an orchid house and cafe. The Royal Flying Doctor Service Darwin Tourist Facility offers an immersive experience of the Northern Territory's history through interactive storytelling, holograms, and a decommissioned RFDS Pilatus PC 12 aircraft.
A beautiful part of Darwin. Completely different here in the dry season. Lots of birds, trees and walking trails. They were setting up for a concert the next day in one area. Great place to come and sit, read a book, go for a walk or have a picnic.

Nice gardens but the kids play area is a miss. Supposed to be renovated but just fenced off doesn't look like anything is happening and was supposed to be finished by now. My grandson was very disappointed. Cafe staff are lovely, helpful and friendly.
Pamela R — Google review
A mouthful of a name for Darwin's Botanic gardens but George Brown is the very reason it is still in a good state after Cyclone Tracey of 1974. Did a guided walk with Walk Darwin & according to guide John, this was not the only cyclone to wreak damage in the gardens. It is expansive, so you will get an excellent workout as it is set on a hilly slope - find a layout map if you want to get through it all. Notable section is the Madagascar & African garden with massive Baob trees incl the local native Adansonia Gregorii. Waterfall has not worked for quite awhile & it is evident parts of the garden is neglected. Interesting tropical trees like Ashoka Seraca (religious significance to Buddhists), toxic Suicide Tree (Cerberus Odallam) - up there with Death Cap mushies 🫣, Pride of Burma Amhertsia, Black Bean Moreton chestnut tree, Sausage Tree (er.. rr..true - from Africa) & quite few others used in perfumes, medicinal oils or just plain quirky. Main entrance is actually across the road from Mindil Sunset Beach area - look for Eva's Cafe on google which is just past entrance. Interesting sculptures scattered around, some good & others like the dinosaurs in the cycad area plain garish (cast off from elsewhere). The Centre is worth a visit for background & seed saving history. We spotted a Rufuos Owl & you will see & hear the ubiquitous native scrubfowls. Wld be really good to visit this special garden in the wet season - bit too hot, humid & parched on our guided tour on Sun 27/7/25 a week ago to enjoy it properly though I still did!
The M — Google review
Nice place. Very good café, the best I experienced in 65 days in Australia. It,s a pity the botanical garden focus that little on local plants and mentions that little scientific names and geographic distribution of plants in the garden. Concerning that matter I am much in favor of the botanical garden of Perth that I visited the 1st of September.
Yvon P — Google review
Beautiful gardens to visit and stroll around!! The path is a bit all over the place so it’s not easy to find your way around if you want to visit everywhere. Needs more signage too but it definitely had a decent range of plants!! Probably takes about an hour to walk around the whole thing
Melly F — Google review
We came to have a look the garden today (5 June 2025 ), went to their information centre, got the map of the garden. Very difficult to follow the map and the actual garden especially when you're an elderly. A few section were closed today. The garden itself was well kept, tidy and clean. Ended up spending the whole morning at the nice Cafe there.

Truly a wonderful place Anyone could enjoy these gardens. You don't have to travese over the entire park to enjoy the beautiful plants Relax on a chair there are plenty and take in the surroundings.
Tracey W — Google review
This place has changed so much since I was hear about 15 years ago. Loads of things to see. Best to go early, before the heat if you can. But the cafe is great for a refresher, good drinks and a cool spot. I loved the lilies. My daughter thrilled to find a Jackfruit tree as it's one of her favourite fruits. The Boab garden and dragon garden were especially enchanting. A couple of areas are under renovation, so there'll be more to look forward to next time!

Cafe
Coffee shop
Nestled in a tropical courtyard on Smith Street in Darwin CBD, Ray's Cafe and Patisserie is a popular spot known for its delectable pastries and brunch menu. The cafe offers an array of options including Mexican brekky burgers, truffle scrambled eggs, and whipped ricotta toast. Their house blend coffee comes from Mecca Espresso in Sydney, while the seasonal single origin is sourced from Single O.
Ray’s Cafe is so good we went back twice! My partner loved the loaded croissant—it was incredibly delicious. I tried different versions of their avocado toast with eggs, and they were all amazing. The portions are huge, and the coffee is strong and flavorful. The staff are super friendly, the service is quick, and the cafe is spacious with the option to sit inside or outside. A perfect spot for a hearty, satisfying meal!

Visiting as a family of four, with our just turned 3 year old. I went to order our breakfast and the lady stated she would not accomodate with making scrambled eggs for my child but instead I could buy a full adults scrambled egg meal. We left and took our business elsewhere. Was not impressed. We ended up at perk and palate which was very accommodating and had fantastic food, service and atmosphere.

Casuarina Coastal Reserve, located between Rapid Creek and Lee Point, is a stunning stretch of sandy beaches that preserves sites of Aboriginal and historical significance. The area features informative signs and boards along the trails, offering visitors insights into the surroundings. While the narrow paths may not be ideal for mountain biking, it's a beautiful spot for a leisurely walk to take in the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the reserve.

Beach
Outdoor Activities
Mindil Beach is a popular sandy shoreline in Darwin, known for its vibrant sunset markets that operate from April to October. The beach offers a picturesque setting for the iconic Mindil Beach Sunset Market, featuring over 200 stalls selling local cuisine, handicrafts, and souvenirs. Additionally, visitors can enjoy various entertainment options such as circus workshops, face painting, and a jumping castle. During the day, the beach provides an ideal spot for relaxation and leisure activities.
Mindil Beach, located in the Northern Territory’s Darwin, is much more than just a beach. Swimming is not recommended, but the beach festivities more than make up for it. There’s always something going on – whether it’s fun runs, festivals or the beloved Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, where you’ll find dozens of sizzling food stalls.
M/s H — Google review
Loved this beach, although it is currently being tended to by the local municipality. It is a very lively spot for watching the sunset, and it can get especially busy on nights that the night market is open (Mindil Beach Night Market). It is well worth spending a few hours there at sunset taking it all in. Lovely views, and it is a place that seems to draw the crowds and bring people together. Bring a towel, blanket, or chairs to rest and enjoy the sunset. There are also some seashells around, and the sand is soft. The area is well kept and clean.
Jacqueline S — Google review
Mindil beach market is a must see when visiting Darwin. Culturally diverse with everything from croc & buffalo pies to stuffed chicken wings, fresh calamari, crepes, terrific Indian at Dr Yummy & much more! Settle with your food & watch the sunset to the cool tunes from 1 of our first nation's buskers playing acoustic guitar as you dreamily watch yachts sail off into the sunset. Catch a camel ride along the beach if that's your thing. Later view some whip cracking courtesy of Mick's whips & browse the many market stalls with a plethora of things on offer. Family friendly & one of the best nights you'll have in Darwin. Guaranteed 🐊🤠🌴

Great place to watch the sunset over the ocean and to walk your dogs 🐕 off leash. If you don't like crowds, don't go on the nights the markets are on. You also can not take your dogs to the markets, and they must be on leash on market nights.
Marion S — Google review
The best place to go on a Thursday (or Sunday) night. The number of stalls were down, assumedly due to the Darwin festival, but still worth the experience. If in Darwin you just have to go to these markets...

Recommend going there at sunset for some of the most beautiful sunset views you will see. Also go there when the markets are on, there's heaps of great stalls and tasty food available.

Located in Darwin, the Darwin Ski Club is a laid-back beach bar that offers stunning sunset views and a relaxed atmosphere. With its palm tree-lined deck adorned with lights, it provides the perfect setting to enjoy an extensive menu of food and drinks while watching the sun go down over Fannie Bay. This iconic venue has been a favorite among locals for over 50 years and is not only known for its picturesque location but also as the home of the Northern Territory Water Ski Association.
A really great place to unwind with a drink and listen to the band. If you're a member you can even use their pool, which is great. I had my 40th here in tumultuous weather. The staff were outstanding, as was the food and of course the venue itself. Couldn't fault anything.
Tommi H — Google review
What a gem this is!!! It is an oasis and several minutes from Darwin central. Located right on Fannie Bay, enjoy a cool beverage or order food from the separate building . Best crumbed calamari ever!! Sit back and just relax! There is also a large pool area for members. Non-members can pay $5.00 pp at the bar, and you can swim. We loved it because hardly anyone was using the pool midweek. We enjoyed early lunches, and we returned twice in 7 days and met a lovely couple around the pool. There is plenty of parking and toilets at the rear of the building where you order your food - separate from the waterfront bar. Staff were friendly, and the whole vibe was chilled. There is also a children's play area and lots of tables and seating under umbrellas outside or undercover. ✔️✔️👌

Located on a bus route this venue has direct access to the beach and a great sunset. Relatively cheap wine menu. Some dinner items can be overpriced so select well. I ordered the veggie curry and a friend ordered the chicken... have a look at the fotos to decide which was the better option. Fair walking distance between sitting tables and kitchen. Personally it is not my favorite and I won't be going there again. But everyone is different so try it if u must.

We had a work function here and the service was exceptional! They provided wrist bands for the bar tab for easy identification. They cornered off an area for us with tables and chairs (with a smoking area). The food was set out in Bain Marie's and was lovely! Roast meats, salad, roast veg, salad and cakes! Nom nom nom!! Gorgeous sunsets and lovely relaxing atmosphere! Could spend every afternoon here!

Hotel
Rydges Darwin Central is a contemporary hotel located in the heart of Darwin, offering streamlined rooms with minibars and free Wi-Fi. The exterior of the hotel is extraordinary and modern, making it a desirable base for exploring nearby attractions or enjoying the myriad bars and cafes. The elegantly furnished rooms and suites feature spacious bathrooms with luxury amenities. Guests can enjoy a restaurant, cafe, room service, outdoor plunge pool, mini food court with Indonesian cuisine, valet parking, and a delicious buffet breakfast.
Darwin Central seems to be a survivor of an ambitious vision from 20 years ago to bring modernity, luxury, style and sophistication to the Darwin CBD. The hotel is still very comfortable. The rooms well appointed, large and cared for. Crisp linen and modern decor. The hotel itself though no longer has its own restaurant and bar. Both shuttered up but visible as It is they hold a commanding position over the central atrium, reminding visitors of what once was. Many of the shops including what we're high end luxury goods and jewellery stores are also long closed, adding to that feeling of decline. All that in perspective, the hotel is well positioned in the heart of Darwin's restaurant and bar district, just a block away from the magnificent Esplanade overlooking the Arafura Sea.

I recently stayed here with my mum, There was so much false advertising for this hotel and we were very disappointed, There is no bar or restaurant attached when we booked we were under the impression that there would be a buffet breakfast available at the restaurant and bar attached to the hotel, they aren't open so instead we where given 3 options a day at a local cafe down stairs and around the corner, while it was nice after 9 days it got boring and we weren't allowed to use the vouchers for any other meals so we ended up loosing money and giving them to the staff at the Rydges to use. We had to pay an extra $29 per night for car parking, the card details were taken upon check in and since leaving we keep receiving phone calls about payment when it has already been paid for! It shouldn't cost any extra to park as it is. The pool is very small and doesn't look at all like the photos online. The shower didn't drain properly so had to stand in about an inch of water during a shower and no body wash was in the container. The beds were really uncomfortable and my back was killing me the whole time we stayed there. There isn't even a microwave available to use in the room. No cutlery to make anything we had to buy plastic knives and forks. When they clean your room they don't clean the room properly. We had to ask for extra toilet paper after they had already been. Overall very disappointed in our stay and the general consensus with other people I spoke to staying there felt similarly. I wouldn't recommend staying here the city was really dead apart from on the weekends.

Staff is polite and cooperative. Clean facilities. Building, rooms and lobby are old and not modern. I chose room with kitchenette. Onsite parking available at a cost. Location is excellent in Darwin CBD. Its categorised as 4 star hotel but old style building, room and furniture speaks otherwise. Overall stay was fine and had no major issues.

What’s good: the location. that’s it. The service was non-existent. You have to self check in and check out via a little computer. I mean.. it’s supposed to be a 4 stars hotel ??? I booked by mistake 2 rooms and explained the situation several times to the guys at the reception and absolutely no effort was made to help me get a refund. I really felt like I was bothering them even though I was very calm and nice… that’s a shame. :( all they could say was: “it’s our policy” The room was very basic and the shower was terrible with very very low water flow. I absolutely do not recommend this place. Go to Cavenagh Hotel instead! It’s cheaper and the people are really nice there !!!

Had an unpleasant experience during my stay. While I was quietly sitting in the lobby, a staff member came over and told me to "sit properly" because of their "new furniture." I wasn't doing anything wrong or causing damage-just sitting comfortably. He said, "Mate, can you sit properly please?" The tone was unnecessarily condescending, and the use of "mate" felt patronizing since I'm not his buddy. On top of that, it was obvious he treated other guests differently. Honestly, the staff at the McDonald's next door are more courteous. As a paying guest, I expect basic respect and common courtesy. Being singled out over something so trivial made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome-definitely not the treatment I expect from a hotel. The rooms were clean, and most of the staff I interacted with were polite and friendly, but this one incident really ruined my stay.

We accidentally made a double booking at this hotel and realized it only when checking in. We immediately explained the situation and asked to cancel one of the two rooms. The second room was never used, and not prepaid. A staff member told us the hotel was fully booked and refused the cancellation. However, this was clearly a lie — we checked online and found multiple room types still available for the same dates. We contacted them twice, politely asking for a goodwill cancellation, but they completely refused — hiding behind policy instead of showing any understanding or flexibility. In the end, they charged us for a room we didn’t use for even one minute. This was not just inflexible — it was deliberately dishonest. This kind of treatment is unacceptable. If you expect honesty and even basic customer service, I recommend you stay far away from this hotel. One of the worst experiences I’ve had in years of traveling.

Location was really good as it was centre of CBD. Hotel is tired and ordinary. Our kitchenette had 25 year old bench tops and just a microwave. Housekeeping was a bit haphazard filling tea/coffee and did not supply wash cloths. Room was good size. We signed up and did not get any discounts and staff were not helpful. Suggested we use the card readers to checkout. We received several emails to pay in advance and checked if they were scams.

Beach
Casuarina Beach is a beloved coastal stretch in Darwin, Australia, known for its wide sandy expanse and stunning sunset views. The beach is part of the Casuarina Coastal Reserve, offering over 6 km of shared paths with picturesque coastal scenery and bushland. Visitors can enjoy activities such as dog walking, jogging, or leisurely strolls while taking in the ocean breeze. Additionally, the area is popular with mountain bikers due to nearby trails.
This is a lovely beach to visit in the afternoons for a walk or just to sit and watch the sunset and unwind from the day. Plenty of parking available and easy to access the beach.

Caz beach, with your dreamy sunset, will always hold a special place in my hearts. It is quiet, wide, and natural — perfect for those who love simplicity and beauty. The sand stretches endlessly, and the gentle light at golden hour gave us the most stunning wedding photos (like the one I’ve shared here). ✨ Highly recommended for weddings, photoshoots, or simply a moment of peace by the ocean. ✅ Easy to access, with parking nearby and plenty of space to walk or sit and enjoy the view.

This beach is a sight to behold, with its spectacular sunset views and cute crabs. The crabs are constantly burrowing in the sand, leaving behind tiny little holes and sand formations that are worth noticing. You can spend hours watching the crabs go about their business any evening or simply enjoy the peace and tranquility of the spectacular sunset.

Lovely meal for my husband’s birthday. We had the charcuterie board which was huge followed by steak. Beautifully presented and we didn’t need the sides that we also ordered. Nice service from Francisco who was very attentive. We had booked an inside table in the AC but were put outside in the deck because of a party inside. The downside of that was that it was really hot which spoilt our enjoyment a little. Would definitely recommend and would revisit.

From the moment we made our booking, our experience at Wharf One was nothing short of exceptional. Carmine ensured a seamless reservation process and welcomed us with warmth, seating us at a beautiful spot right by the water — the perfect setting for a memorable evening. Throughout the night, we were looked after by Antony and Federico, whose friendly and professional service made us feel truly cared for. They anticipated our needs with grace and ensured we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. A special highlight was meeting Chef Wesly, who personally introduced several of the dishes. His passion and storytelling brought each plate to life, adding a layer of meaning and artistry to the meal that we won’t soon forget. Alannah’s cocktails were a delight, balanced, creative, and beautifully presented, while Gia’s radiant smile and warm presence added an extra sparkle to the evening. Every member of the team contributed to an atmosphere of genuine hospitality and excellence. Wharf One isn’t just a restaurant... it’s an experience. We left feeling nourished, inspired, and already planning our return.

Overall, it was a positive experience, and I look forward to returning to explore more items on the menu.

I was so glad this unique cafe was open around 1430 (2:30pm) as everything around seemed to be closed from 1300-1730. The chef was very nice and brought my pizza out personally. The pizza was very tasty and had just the right balance of toppings. Thanks for saving the day, chef!

We are staying in Darwin for a few days and we’re just wandering around checking out the place and looking for dinner. We are so glad we went in. The service is great and the cafe has an awesome vibe about it. Service was great, we were told up front it was a 30min wait as they were busy, it was only a little longer than what they advised, but we were ok to wait. We popped back the next day for breakfast, although I was really looking forward to the deserts in their display case - that’s next on my list of things to try from Salvatores before we leave Darwin next week !

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this quaint establishment nestled in the heart of Darwin. Though our visit was primarily inclined towards satiating our sweet tooth, the allure of their extensive dessert menu did not disappoint. The variety is commendable, with a range of delightful treats that are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the palate. While the price point is slightly on the higher side, it's expected in Darwin. Aside from the sweet offerings, the place boasts a menu of Italian savories including pizzas and pastas, which we didn't venture into during our visit. However, it’s nice to know the option is there for those looking to enjoy a hearty meal. Our experience was centered around a cozy afternoon, indulging in cakes and coffee which were both satisfying. The ambiance is pleasant, making it a nice spot for a casual meet-up or a relaxed afternoon. I would certainly suggest this place to others, especially if you have a penchant for desserts. The blend of a comforting atmosphere with a sprinkle of Italian culinary essence makes it a delightful place to spend a leisurely afternoon.

Beautiful food, location and service. Really enjoyed the "volume appropriate" live music. Ordered the Barramundi, which was fabulous. Only disappointment was the fish is advertised as having a pine nut and currant salad but it is really just a light garnish at best. Very tasty but the fish would have benefitted from more of it.

My recent visit to Karma Cafe was far from positive. The strawberry pancakes were a significant letdown. The bottom of the stack was disappointingly soggy, almost watery, which completely ruined the texture. The promised maple syrup seemed to be absent, or if present, undetectable – the flavor was certainly lacking. It neither looked nor tasted like genuine maple syrup had been used. Frankly, it was a far cry from what I'd expect, especially for a weekly special. My flat white was equally average, and the service was indifferent. Overall, a disappointing experience that fell short of expectations, especially given the cafe's reputation.

Cafe
Nestled in the vibrant Coconut Grove area, Ruby G's Canteen is a delightful haven for food lovers. This charming café has been delighting patrons since 2016 with its mouthwatering pastries and exceptional coffee. Whether you're indulging in their famous almond croissant—perfectly crisp on the outside and gooey within—or exploring their new vegan pastry options, every bite is a treat.
I last reviewed this cafe 4 years ago and it's very encouraging to know that not only is the quality of food and service still absolutely top notch, but they've also expanded to opening at nights !! The menu here is fresh and healthy and the donuts are simply divine and hand crafted daily. So excited to hear they have cocktails at night 🍸. Will have to come back for a night visit !!! 2025 still good !

Shared a large cinnamon palmiere here this morning 2/9/24, gorgeous pastry, super fresh finger licking good. The rest of the pastry delights looked amazing. Coffee was very good, service was friendly and efficient. The brunch/lunch menu looked interesting and we'll be back to try it. We sat outside in the front to catch the breeze as it was too hot for us inside. Great looking place, too bad its not the sort of building that lends itself to better cooling. Highly recommend a stop here.

there’s a car park inside I first didnt know it so I drove around the road seeing some car parked along the street but then I went inside and asked the staff and I just knew that there’s a car park inside not many bays and luckily I can park my car there. I found the coffee really good. I ordered a Macca iced. It’s a big cup I love it. I also love the atmosphere at this coffee shop.

Ruby G Canteen is a fantastic spot for coffee enthusiasts and pastry lovers alike. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it an ideal place to relax or catch up with friends. The coffee here is exceptional, with a rich, robust flavor that pairs perfectly with their freshly baked croissants. Each croissant is buttery, flaky, and melts in your mouth, offering a delightful treat that complements the quality of the coffee. Whether you're starting your day or taking a midday break, Ruby G Cafe delivers a satisfying experience. The friendly staff and quick service add to the charm, ensuring that you'll want to return for another visit.

Mercure Darwin Airport Resort is a convenient and comfortable accommodation option located just 300 meters from Darwin Airport. The resort offers a variety of rooms, suites, and bungalows set in lush tropical surroundings. With amenities such as an outdoor pool and an airy restaurant, it provides a relaxing start or endpoint for travelers exploring the Northern Territory. The 24-hour airport shuttle service ensures quick access to the resort upon arrival.
We walked right to the hotel from the airport. Amazing, comfy bed. Perfect after you have just caught a flight. We were treated to a wonderful buffet breakfast by the pool in the morning. Will be back!
Claire D — Google review
The recently renovated lobby / pool is AMAZING! The room was large, however in need of refreshing. The bed needs replacing soon, and the shower could have mould removed or be re-grouted to remove the stains. There were also baby cockroaches in the bathroom every time I went in there. No soundproofing in the room- I could hear my neighbours talking as if they were in my room, and then entering / exiting their room sounded like they were opening my door. The rooms are a fair distance to walk from the lobby, however they dropped me to my room on a golf cart upon checkin, unsure if they offer the same service for check out.

I love staying here because it's Short walk from the airport. I absolutely loved the new pool and buffet breakfast! Great place to start any Darwin adventure! Unfortunately my room was a bit smelly and I found half eaten burger and fries in the dresser drawer 😫

Positives: - Room was clean - Pool and outdoor facilities are beautiful - Location is convenient, close to airport and easy to get a taxi - Free shuttle bus to airport Negatives: - Unsafe, there are random drunk people screaming. There were police onsite several times during my trip - Room was very basic for the price. The bathroom was substandard - Staff are not welcoming - Overpriced for the quality Overall I wouldn’t stay here again if I had another choice

Pool = Amazing - though quite cool in the dry season. New lobby area beautiful. Location so easy to get to from airport and then to travel around from. The negative would be the service. Despite classing themselves as a resort and having a huge pool area, there was no service for food or drink to the pool, you have to walk all the way to the main lobby bar and await the slow service, then go back and get your food when your buzzer goes off, it can be a 50-100m walk given the length of the pool, wastes heaps of time, so this was really disappointing. On top of that, we felt the morning breakfast in the Mercure was usually cold, cramped and busy and the general service from the workers was just quite grumpy and non hospitable. There was one really nice waitress who stood out massively. The rooms in the Mercure were quite old, but they did the job, and you do NOT notice any airport noise, the only thing we had was a few FA-18s fly around one day which was pretty cool, but the airport location isn't a concern at all.

Firstly we booked a travel cot, landed at 10pm and unfortunately as I expected the travel cot was not in the room set up as it should have been. This was frustrating given how late it was. Secondly we booked a late check out to 6pm the next day. We got locked out of our room around 1pm and couldn't contact anyone to let us in. We needed to shower and get ready for our flight and we had to wait outside for about 20mins until someone let us in. No apologies from staff. He just said you are supposed to re do your key card in the morning so this doesn't happen. That's all well and good but no one told us this. I'd expect a refund given the price you pay to have such inconvenient mistakes.

We stayed in the pool suite and it was just fantastic. Clean, spacious, and a private pool. Of course there is airport noise but it's not that loud. The main outdoor pool is spectacular and there is also another pool that is inside the mecure hotel. Also it is a very easy walk from the airport to the hotel if you don't need the complimentary shuttle. It was a maximum of 5 minutes and you can check in at the desk near the pool and cafe or at the mecure desk. Mecure/novotel and ibis can all be checked in at the same place. From the reviews I was concerned but our experience couldn't have been better.

Such a beautiful resort! The villa was incredible; the pools are great and the proximity to the airport is awesome. Service is something that could be improved: a friendly smile goes a long way. Our room wasn't ready 3 hours after check-in. The positives were the pirvate pool, the food, and location.

The Darwin FreeSpirit Resort offers a variety of accommodation options for those visiting the city, including powered sites, cabins, a pool and restaurant. The staff are amazing and will help to arrange any additional needs you may have.
We had to booked for the premium site. Toilets and showers are immaculate, the only down size is we have to share it with others. What a massive caravan park. I love the bouncing pillow for kids. If I’m not mistaken there were more than one swimming pool inside the park. Shared kitchen is cleaned every day. Amazing! Thumbs up! More to this, the coolest thing is we got to see squadron practice in the morning or afternoon. You are able to see a few (I think) F35 jets flying around. (I instantly have Top Gun imagination in my head)

We must say that this was one of the best caravan parks we’ve stayed at. All the staff including reception and care takers were amazing. So helpful and polite. We all enjoyed our stay here including our 2 dogs, amazing dog area which they loved. The toilets and showers were always clean and nice hot water with good pressure. The pool areas were fantastic and the bistro area was so relaxing with live music to enjoy. We’d like to thank everyone here for a great experience. Warwick and myself give this park a 10 out of 10 🥰

We recently celebrated our daughter 1st birthday at Darwin FreeSpirit Resort, and it honestly couldn’t have been a more perfect venue. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, convenient, and just what we needed for a special day with family and friends. The air-conditioned function room was spacious, clean, and beautifully lit with natural light, which made it super comfortable for both kids and adults (especially in Darwin’s heat!). The location is ideal, easy for guests to get to, with plenty of parking and a relaxed, tropical vibe as soon as you enter the resort. We had external vendors come in to set up soft play and decorations, and the team at FreeSpirit was so flexible and accommodating—nothing was too hard, and they really helped take the stress out of the day. Every staff member we spoke to was friendly, professional, and genuinely supportive. You can tell they care about their guests having a great experience. The food was delicious and came out exactly on time—hot, fresh, and with generous portions. We had so many compliments from our guests! Whether you’re hosting a birthday, baby shower, or any type of event, I can’t recommend Darwin FreeSpirit Resort enough. The atmosphere is chilled but polished, and it’s a place where you can truly enjoy the moment while the team takes care of the rest. Thanks again to the FreeSpirit team for helping make our little girl’s first birthday one we’ll never forget 💕🌴

We had our wedding at FreeSpirit Resort few weeks ago and it was truly a flawless experience from start to finish. Jewel went above and beyond to cater to all our needs and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the day. Wether it was the endless emails, million questions or last minute changes nothing was ever a issue. The venue set up was everything we could’ve ever imagined and knowing Jewel and the team were there meant we could fully relax. One thing that really stood out was their attention to dietary requirements — they ensured there were plenty of delicious gluten-free and dairy-free options available, which our guests really appreciated and loved. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and we felt completely supported the entire time. The venue itself is beautiful, and the service was exceptional. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special moment. Highly recommend FreeSpirit Resort for anyone planning a wedding or event!

We stayed in an Studio room. Clean and well presented. Aircon and fan on, when I entered the room. It was a welcome relief from the warm weather outside. Shower very refreshing after spending a couple of weeks in the bush. All the usual things in a Studio room. Laundries in park all well equipped with washers and dryers. Camp kitchens were also very clean and well maintained. Lounge Areas were comfortable too. It's a great park. Cheers and thanks to all the staff who made our stay very comfortable...

Lee Point Beach, also known as Lee Point Picnic Area, is a picturesque and spacious beach located about 3.5km from Casuarina Beach within the Casuarina Coastal Reserve. It offers expansive views and features a grassy reserve with picnic tables and BBQs behind the beach. Visitors can enjoy stunning sunrises and vibrant sunset hues, making it an ideal spot for early morning or evening strolls.
A great place for bird and nature nerds like myself. However be prepared for sandflys and mosquitos with insect repellent. In dry season it's a great hangout for walks, wildlife wonder and beautiful beaches (no swimming unless you want to come up close and personal with a saltwater crocodile.... definitely not recomended... always be #Crocwise.) Also there is a bird hide for shorebird season, coming up soon in Darwin. Sunset gazing, and rock hole exploring is viable. In build up it can feel very challenging but then in wet season it is also magical. Bring your binoculars but leave your dog at home. From the point east it is a no doggy area. Hopefully nature lovers like myself around the world will be able to #saveleepoint from the bulldozers so we can truly call Darwin home to some great nature.

I was there on a low tied and the water retracts far back on the low so I had lots of beach to explore. Amazing colors in the water and sky. Storm brewing in distant horizon. Just spectacular!!

As everyone else has said, the sunsets are stunning! Especially when a bush fire has put some smoke in front of the setting sun. There’s a good car park, BBQ’s and toilets in the reserve before the beach. The beach is massive with the sea going out a long way. You should watch out for crocodiles near the shore but the chances of one being there is remote. But could be!

Lee Point Beach is a serene oasis in Darwin, offering tranquility like no other. It's the exclusive spot to witness the breathtaking sunrise over the ocean at dawn. The peaceful ambiance here is perfect for a tranquil escape from the bustling city life. The gentle waves and golden sands create a picturesque setting for a leisurely stroll or simply unwinding by the water. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or seeking a serene sunrise experience, Lee Point Beach is the ultimate destination. Don't miss the chance to start your day with the sun's first rays painting the sky in vibrant hues over this quiet, coastal gem.

Beautiful beach; great sunset, a quieter sunset spot (compared to other Darwin beaches). We visit for walks at sunrise and sunset all year round. There is lots of explore and the beach looks different everyday; based on the time of year and the tide. Great spot for the whole family. Good place for walking dogs (however you only walk them in one direction, due to nesting birds - check signs).

Discovery Parks - Darwin is a convenient accommodation option located near the city and the airport.

Guests can enjoy onsite dining facilities for breakfast and dinner, as well as complimentary BBQ areas and a camp kitchen for self-catering. Despite its proximity to the airport, guests have reported peaceful nights with minimal disturbance from passing planes.
We stayed in a Superior cabin for five nights in early July. The cabin was of a decent size and clean. It had everything that one would need for a comfortable stay. Our stay was pleasant. The wi-fi was not strong enough for use in the cabin. The TV reception was bad for the first three days of our stay, but this was fixed for the final two days.

The park itself was a very picturesque place, 2 good pools, clean amenities block and strict on the 5kms speed limit. The only issues that we had was they had around 3 washing machines out of order for part of our stay. Close enough to Darwin centre to not be a problem. Sites are a pretty generous in size. Just make sure that you clean the bat droppings off the awning before putting it away. Besides that we had a pretty good week there.

I loved our drive through site it was tidy and spacious and I didn't feel hemmed in. The ablutions are old but clean. The hot water taps are on the opposite side than usual so don't be fooled into thinking there's no hot water There are two pools both freezing but the one at the front doesn't attract the kids so peaceful for us oldies. It's close to everything in Darwin CBD but a little further from other attractions. It's expensive at $72 dollars and that's booking early with a discount. Noise from the airport is definitely heard but it didn't bother me or keep me awake there was some distant noise from the speedway over the weekend but again it wasn't a bother to us.

Location really suited us. Management was very understanding when we requested a site change as we were staying for three weeks. Thank you. Would have liked to see a little more attention given to the surrounding gardens etc as we were paying top dollar Only discovered ‘new’ area the day before we left. Much nicer! Serious money and effort has been put into the highway end of the park. Hopefully working through the park and this will also solve their plumbing issues! Two pools is a bonus. Would stay again acknowledging the planes and the fact that all parks in Darwin are expensive.

Nice but not quiet. Great location, close to everything. The pool is supposed to be closed at 7pm. Yet there a loud vermin children and parents still there afterwards and it isn't closed! Maybe the after hours number could be answered to report that we had no water.

We stayed early October and occupancy seemed less than 10pct yet we were put immediately next to others -why? Our spot was awkward to back into due to untrimmed shrubbery. As with all Discovery Parks they post a 5kmh speed limit, but on one occasion we followed the groundsman on his electric cart only to later have him chip me for speeding by following him!
Bob R — Google review
We stayed here for 2 weeks and had made 4 separate bookings as our road trip plan changed. On arrival, the staff were very nice and suggested we stay on the cheaper site for the entire stay to save us from moving around as we made 4 bookings. However, they didn’t mention the rate difference or offer any credit. When we asked, we were told the price had changed between the time we booked and when we arrived – which wasn’t true, as the same rates were still showing online. After 30 minutes of going back and forth, management finally agreed to issue a credit, but not for the full amount. In the end, the credit was never processed. Their T&Cs stated credits could only be used in Darwin Discovery Park, but we’ve stayed at Discovery Parks many times before and credits could always be used across locations. Also, they refused to give coins credit for the use of washing machine because “how do we know you will use the coin in our washing machine” We are making this review not because of the credit amount but for the handling of the situation, felt dodgy and left a very poor impression. Unfortunately, this was the worst customer service we’ve experienced at a Discovery Park.

Recommended by a Darwin local, this is a great place for breakfast. Located behind Mitchell Street, it has brought a Melbourne coffee feel to the top end.

The girls did my soy flat white super well and I couldn’t enjoy it more. A read of Darwin magazine suggests that I should try their baked goods so I had a chocolate hazelnut croissant and I highly recommend it. I also had the Farmers Feed among all others from the well designed menu which appears to be relatively ordinary for me. I’d like to see more greens on plate if possible.

This was a 5 month stay. One thing that stood out in this establishment were the staff. They were always accommodating, patient and friendly. I noticed 4 different groups of cleaning staff go through in the time we were there. Some of the cleaners were conscientious and thorough at least half were not. The room we were in needed a good deep cleaning, the mattress was a hammock and needed replacing, we went through 2 clothes dryers, the sliding door to the balcony had to have its rollers replaced as it was impossible to open. Kitchen utensils were well past their use by dates, plastic cooking utensils just aren’t very useful. I personally cleaned the aircon filters twice, the globes for the range hood kept blowing out, the noise from units above us was on occasions extremely annoying, being of concrete construction the whole place reverberates with sound and sonic repercussion. We have stayed in other Quest outlets around Australia, and have come to expect the equivalent standard of excellence and so the experience of living in the Palmerston establishment for an extended period was an eye opener in that the delivery of service, varies from one location to another. As I aforementioned, the staff were excellent and in our case, that will suffice. We never got to meet the manager, unlike other Quest establishments around the country.

Only downfall was that we had an adjoining door and the people next door were so loud I could hear all their conversations, the yelling and laughing felt like they were in the room with us and this was from 9pm til 1am.

Sometimes when you are a traveler it’s the people who run the place that make all the difference When I was waiting to check in there was a bloke profusely thanking the woman behind the counter for being so wonderful and helpful Over a week long stay I can 100% back him up. Just beautiful people running a fantastic park. It’s clean and well cared for. Thanks so much guys you don’t know how much I appreciate your kindness

Good park position, was worried it was a bit far out of Darwin CBD but it was an easy drive in which we did daily for 5 days. The amenities are super dated and not good at all and the lights are on a very short timer so if using them at night be prepared to finish your shower in the dark unless another camper helps you out, which we all did. There are heaps of shops across the road like Coles and Kmart and also a big laundromat. The cinema is about 5 or so minutes up the road. Very convenient to everything.

On the outskirts as you head towards Darwin. An easy walk across to the shops and food venues. You just have to be careful crossing the highway. Next door to a servo. The grounds are nothing fancy. Not very shady, but are neat and tidy. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

BEWARE of staying at this caravan park. The caretakers are rude arrogant and they have no communication skills we asked a question to be told get out of the the park by the end of the week. The toilets block is old and you get eaten alive by mosquitoes while having a shower and they have no disability facilities. About 8 people have been kicked out in the last couple of months and a pensioner couple got kicked out when her husband was in hospital and she didn't know how to tow a caravan so she had to run around trying to get some help from someone.Definitely no compassion for anyone

Stayed 8 nights, nice quiet park, central to so much Amenities well they are old, they are clean, plenty of hot water, water pressure near non existing when more than one stall used together, exposed plumbing means easy to contact hot water supply, really why do half a job guys very much "Faulty Towers" Forgot to take gate pin for after hours entry contacted via after hours number, and messaged via sms, thank God another resident came along as I didn't get a response till mid morning the following day Over all a nice convenient park that with a little bit of tlc would have so much potential

Cullen Bay is a picturesque spot known for its excellent fishing opportunities, with species like Barramundi, Mangrove Jack, Trevally, Queenfish and Golden Snapper commonly caught in the area. The large rock wall in front of Cullen Bay is ideal for fishing during the last run out tide. Additionally, the floating pontoon at Cullen Bay Marina Lock offers great fishing spots during different tides.
Love visiting Cullen Bay whilst in Darwin. Great cafes and water front views. Fish feeding at the Greek restaurant was a real treat. We just stopped in for coffee and a cake. Great ferry tours of Darwin Harbour available from Sealink ferries too

Dog park
Muirhead Dog Park is a popular spot in the Northern Territory, offering 3,000 square meters of open space for off-leash fun. Divided into two areas, it provides ample room for both medium to large dogs and smaller breeds to socialize and play. The park features fenced enclosures with agility equipment, providing entertainment for dogs of all sizes. Additionally, there are shaded seating areas and water facilities available.
Great dog park. Lots of benches to sit on. A small park for the small dogs and a big park for the big dogs is a great idea. The dogs love the water troffs.
Mathew O — Google review
A popular park with space for the dogs to socialise, play and roam around in plus shade seats and shelter for everyone. It’s divided into two parks, with a big park for the medium to large dogs and a smaller park for the pups and small breed dogs to meet. The only downside (that I can see) is the agility training equipment is only in the small dog park and is too high off the ground for small dogs to use.

I had a wonderful experience staying at Capricornia Motel, and I especially want to thank the manager for being so incredibly helpful and kind throughout my stay. From the moment I arrived, they went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed.

A truly horrible dive. Dirty, with mould in the shower and a cockroach. Absolute minimum facilities. Just a tv, old style noisy aircon, bar fridge, kettle and two cups. Not even a toaster. No ccomplementary milk. Not enough parking for the number of rooms so you might have to park on the street. Reception often closed when guests were arriving. The price indicated that it would be a decent place. Stay elsewhere.
Steve H — Google review
Do not stay here!! The place smells and looks dirty like it hadn’t been cleaned for years! Unfortunately I did not check the reviews before I booked on Trip. And do not even book on trip.com. Not sure how much they’re getting from all the bookings. I have no idea what the owner/manager is thinking. The kitchen is so dirty and they never wash and clean the kitchen nor their electrical appliances. They must be stupid to think that anyone could clean or cook in that dirty kitchen. Their family room was $220 with a very dirty and uncomfortable bed. They never do room service. After cleaning the pool, the owner/manager locked it! Not sure for what reason. It’s there for a reason. Also don’t trust the pics you see on google or on the internet. Looks very different .

Orettum C — Google review
DO NOT STAY HERE. Don’t be silly like me and not check the reviews before booking! I am honestly not sure how this place is still operating. Arriving outside it looked grim & dirty, I thought “maybe inside will be better”… it wasn’t. First thing you see In reception is a sign that says “NO REFUNDS”. Now I’ve stayed in budget accommodation, but for over $100 per night you would expect the place to at least be CLEAN! Dead insects, dust & grime everywhere, all housekeeping must do is change the sheets. It looks like it hasn’t been renovated since it opened, I think every tile in the room was cracked or chipped. Holes & cracks in the walls, furniture looks like it was found on the street, the mattress feels like you are sleeping on car springs covered by a thin piece of paper. Last but not least the SMELL… it smelled like an abandoned house that hadn’t been opened since the 1950’s, no amount of deodorant or fresh air could get rid of it. If possible I would give zero stars. They must be PAYING people to keep their rating up.

DO NOT STAY at this motel. We had 2 nights booked but left on the first day. Forfeited all monies paid and went elsewhere. This place is filthy, no hot water, tv doesn’t work, advertises WIFI but there isn’t any. Unruly guests. The only good thing is its location. The camp kitchen is disgusting. If only someone took over this place and brought it up to its potential. At the moment it is a dump. I did not feel safe there. And at $88 it is not cheap

Revised review this was first post. 1/Dirty floors, termite ridden window eves and clientele that are a bit to be desired. Excluding myself haha. Look it's not altogether horrible just not that great. Look at my pictures. And make your own Mind up. I've stayied at backpackers for a lot less than half the price and be twice as clean. The shower and the bed are clean. Now 2/ fresh paint and holes repaired. Room had been refreshed and the lady gave me a members card for the sports trailer club which have me a few dollars of my meal. A bit happier now. And would recommend a stay if budget required.

they misdiagnosed an issue & gave incorrect advise. my Nissan Patrol was diagnosed with a head gasket leak. I was leaving the country soon so I desperately sold it for extremely cheap price. The buyer asked them if the engine had been compression tested to confirm head gasket issue, but they paid it off and said from their experience it is 100% head gasket. A few weeks later the buyer told me the engine was fine and compression test turned out normal. I ended up losing a lot of money on that car.

Did not like our experience with this mechanic, we took our 4WD in knowing the issue and explained it to them. They said they will have it for the day, rang mid day saying they couldn’t hear the noise we explained to them so walked back to shop to show them. Then in the arvo they rang saying they couldn’t fit us in that day and needed it the next. This was very inconvenient for us as we planned on only having it in for one day. The next morning they came back saying they fixed the bearings which we had already gotten done recently and that they now know what the issue with the noises our car was making. We paid for something we didn’t get asked for and left with our same issue and then not being able to fix what we wanted. Their workshop was messy and staff were unprofessional on their phones instead of working and saying stuff to us clients that we didn’t need to know. We left very angry for our time and money being wasted.

Not only did they do a fabulous job, they did it within a very tight time frame. By relying on their experience and professionalism we found the whole process seamless. We were 110% happy with the service we received and would highly recommend them to anyone. Amari's styling helped us to achieve a very quick sale at a very good price.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a fantastic experience with Amari Home Styling. They came to my home and provided excellent in-home styling ideas, helping me make the most of my space. I really appreciated how they worked with what I already had and also suggested items that weren’t necessarily from their store, which showed they were focused on what worked best for my home, not just selling products. That said, the beautiful pieces they did provide from their store were such great value and added the perfect finishing touches to the space. The team was professional, thoughtful, and made the entire process so easy. I’m really happy with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Amari Home Styling for anyone looking to refresh their home with both style and practicality in mind.
