The Cavenagh, hotel in Darwin

The Cavenagh Hotel is located 700 metres from Darwin Convention Centre, 900 metres from Darwin Entertainment Centre, 500 metres from Crocosaurus Cove and a 700 metre walk from the Darwin Waterfront...

The room was big and had a refrigerator and aircon. I'm glad for the towels provided and the hair dryer. I also liked the hand held shower head. The bed was nice too. We were three people in the room I slept in, and we had a problem the first night with one guest who was behaving in an erratic and uncomfortable manner during the night, and the hotel staff on duty handled the situation perfectly, I think. So thank you.

Hilton Garden Inn Darwin, hotel in Darwin

Hilton Garden Inn Darwin offers relaxed accommodation in a central location, overlooking Darwin Harbour and the Esplanade. Features include an outdoor swimming pool, restaurant and poolside bar.

The staff are gorgeous, so friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean, and I asked for lots of pillows which were on the bed when I arrived. There is a snack bar in the lobby which is handy as most flights come in late so you can grab a bite with ease before going to bed. The pool was perfect, plenty of space and shade which you need in the NT heat. The refurbishment of the hotel has been done well - and the bed was comfortable.

FAQs about hotels in Darwin








Australia's Cyclonic Cocktail

Darwin displays a cocktail of cultures from ‘Aussie larrikins’ to the local Aboriginals from Larrakia Country. Throw in an influx of international visitors who now call the Top End of Australia home, and this concoction bedazzles with busy outdoor markets and an adequate supply of drinking holes (pubs).

The modern Darwin Wharf precinct, including Stokes Hill Wharf, still gleams on those endless summer days having been rebuilt after the destruction caused both during World War II bombings and Cyclone Tracey. Grab a bar stool with a view of the harbour or a seat on a terrace and sip a cool drink in Australia’s northernmost, tropical capital city.

A popular time for tourists is Darwin’s dry season that starts in May and ends in October. If you prefer it hot and humid, then the end of the wet season can be spectacular when the waterfalls in Kakadu and Litchfield national parks are at their mightiest.

Australia’s wild frontier can be reached all the way from Adelaide and Alice Springs along the picturesque Stuart Highway that ends at Daly Street in the CBD. Outside the centre are the natural surrounds in Palmerston, Humpty Doo and closer by is Mindil Beach with its famous Sunset Market.

Darwin International Airport has international flights from Singapore and Bali. You can choose from a variety of hotels, hostels and apartments on Booking.com.

    I really found the on off bus was very good, really helpful and cost effective. A great way to find your way around Darwin and find the touring attractions which were very interesting & enjoyable. I liked the warm weather not too humid in April. I may come back next year in July just to get way from Adelaide's winter.

    It was wet season but that made it more pleasant as it kept things a little cooler and less crowded. I would definitely go in the wet season again. I loved the lush tropical feel and smell of the foliage. The scenery was amazing and the fact it is a small city made it easy to walk and use E scooters. Plenty of picturesque foliage and water scenes. Shopping also convenient with major supermarket open until late. Must visit us Aquascene to feed the fish at high tide. Check website for opening times as they change depending on tides. Monsoons is nice for food on the main street. On Litchfield st is Tim's Surf and Turf. Great food, kids treated well, lots of families and Tim is a great host. Get out to Cullen Bay for a chill walk and a few restaurants. The wharf area and waterfront definitely worth a visit and only short walk from main street. Catch a free shuttle which will take you around the wharf area and waterfront to save your legs.

    Most things are close by, lots to do, free things to do, beautiful sunrise and sunset, good restaurants. Must see:- sunset at Mindil Casino, dinner at the waterfront, swim in the man made lagoon. I recommend the hop on hop off bus tour. Parking in the city can be difficult but you can Uber anywhere in the city in 5-10 mins. Wait time for an Uber is 1-2 mins. Favourite places to eat - Hanuman Restaurant and Trampoline ice cream. Darwin Hotel and the Deck Bar have good food and atmosphere. Do not recommend Monsoon. The burger buns are hard as a rock.

    Darwin us a magical place. The atmosphere is unique, the people friendly and very laid back. I visit Darwin every year for my holidays. I usually go in the wet season because you get the pick of the accomodation for a much reduced price.

    While it was very humid and a few short showers as its at the end of the wet season .I loved the stunning scenery .Darwin while its a city you can still relax ,chill out. The waterfront area is a great place to relax ,dine out and catch up with a few friends. Darwin is a easy city to get around we used Uber and Public Transport NSW Seniors get free transport just flash your seniors card. If you want they have lots of scooters around town to hire . We loved learning about the history of Darwin. Plenty of places that you can enjoy for free. My best tip is go to the NT Tourism Office they have all the info you need and can help you with any bookings We did Kakadu by flight ,day trip to Lichfield ,Sail Darwin and cruise on the harbour about the Bombing of Darwin . Loved going out to Stoke wharf and enjoying the local resturants.

    There is almost nothing to do in Darwin and downtown there are lot of homeless people. From Darwin you can do day excursions, for example to Kakadu, but you will spend about 8 hours on a bus or minivan. It is not worth!

    The one bedroom apartment was spacious, comfortable and clean. All amenities are provided in the room, including a washer and dryer. Great kitchen with a full size fridge. Air conditioning keeps you cool in the heat of the day. The hotel is across the road from a small shopping centre and it's not far to Fannie Bay to enjoy the sunsets and also head to the airport. There's a small pool area but you can cool down in the refreshing water. Staff were friendly and very helpful. We would recommend this hotel for your stay in Darwin.

    We stayed in a one bedroom apartment. The view from the bedroom and lounge room looking over Darwin Harbour was lovely and helped to create a relaxed feeling. The facilities were good although the kitchen might not suit a family if you were going to cook the meals. We liked the location, walking distance to restaurants and shops. We visited the Darwin Waterfront area but felt it was rather lacking in atmosphere, similar to Darling Harbour in Sydney. Depends on what you are looking for. Probably better for kids.

    We were very happy with the accommodation. Very comfortable, had everything we needed and was very clean. The hotel was ideally located in Darwin city; within walking distance of various tourist sites, food places/takeaway/ restaurants. We had a family room with 2 bedrooms, lounge area and a kitchen and laundry. Great facilities and beautiful view from the balcony out to the harbour and the park across the road. Swimming pool was great to have on site and use every day. It was also not overly expensive.

    The three bedroom apartment that we stayed at was really clean, modern and comfortable for six adults. The pool was decent in size and clean, a great place to hangout and cool down in the Darwin heat. The location is great! There’s a few takeaways and restaurants just outside the hotel and a couple of shopping centres a few minutes drive. It wasn’t too far from the Darwin city either as there really isn’t traffic there so 20-25 minutes tops to get there.

    What a great location. This apartment just felt so comfortable to stay in. The Waterfront precinct in Darwin is not cheap to stay in so we found this apartment to be good value in the context. Lots of extras included for your stay which made it more homely. Thankyou for extra details put into this place. It shows that you actually get what travellers want. We loved it. Would highly rcommend this apartment to any of our friends or family.

    Accomodation in Darwin is very expensive, Alatai apartments were a bit cheaper and affordable. We had a self contained studio which was adequate for our needs. The pool area was nice to sit in but could do with more recliners ( I think there were five). The bed was comfy. The staff were very obliging if we wanted extra towels etc.
