    A really quiet room, fantastic value for money, and a very well-equipped kitchen. I particularly appreciated the vast balcony areas, not only from the living space but also directly from my room. I didn't get to meet the host unfortunately, but...

One or Two Rooms Available in a shared 3-bedroom apartment in Darwin City. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the ocean views and experience a true tropical getaway. This spacious apartment is situated in a prime location, just minutes away from the best Darwin pubs and restaurants including the bustling Darwin Waterfront, Casino and Mindil Beach Markets. Marvel at the awe-inspiring sunsets and enjoy a drink, all while taking in the breathtaking views, or cool off in the sparkling pool.
Born and bred in the vibrant city of Darwin, I have proudly dedicated my career to fostering fitness and wellness in our community. Since 2006, I have been a full-time faculty member at Charles Darwin University, where I teach students how to become fitness instructors and personal trainers. Alongside my academic role, I run my own aqua business, conducting aqua aerobics classes at four local swimming pools. Despite my busy schedule, which includes hosting guests, I cherish my spare moments playing the guitar, dancing, or enjoying a cold drink at one of Darwin’s local bars with friends and family. I love meeting new people and am always eager to share my knowledge and passion for our beautiful hometown.
Whether it's for a holiday adventure in the Top End, a few days of meet and greets or weeks of contract work, you'll find it hard to match our centrally located apartment. With an increasing number of individuals discovering the distinctive allure of this lifestyle destination, Darwin has quickly gained popularity among travelers. Its unique blend of cosmopolitan charm and captivating experiences makes it a sought-after choice for a wide range of visitors, from food enthusiasts to families and couples. With our prime location, you'll find yourself just a few minutes' walk away from the CBDs diverse range of galleries, trendy bars, and enticing eateries. Explore the city's artistic side, indulge in delectable flavors, and experience the lively energy that permeates the streets. Additionally, you'll be within easy reach of the Waterfront Precinct, a captivating hub of entertainment and leisure, where you can enjoy waterfront dining, recreational activities, and breathtaking views. The nearby Esplanade offers a picturesque waterfront promenade, perfect for leisurely walks and soaking in the coastal ambiance.
