Stay was enjoyable, would recommend motion sensor timer delay on the A/C be extended so it could stay longer during the night.

Not too far from the airport, price reasonable in peak Darwin holiday season.
Rooms quite clean.
Not much around except a petrol station. Although some days the restaurant onsite is open.
Phone assistance to process check-in as reception not open when i arrived
