My family had a fantastic 8-night stay at Belle Vue in Darwin’s waterfront. Jeannie is an amazing host and the modern apartment was well equipped for adults & kids, perfectly located with a wonderful balcony for outdoor dining to maximise the beautiful view out over the waterfront & beyond. I highly recommend and would love to stay here again.

Superb waterside apartment!

The apartment was so well placed, overlooking the harbour, which provided lots of activities to watch from the balcony. Car parking directly under the apartment, with lifts from car park/restaurant area directly to the front door were very convenient for me (I am disabled) and we had a very relaxing stay. The apartment was very well equipped, very clean/modern and comfortable. Thankyou Jeannie!

Amazing Harbour Views and Wonderful Hosts

The apartment was everything we expected and more. All the necessities were supplied, including Nespresso pods and a complimentary basket of goodies. The views from the corner balcony were amazing, and my husband and I enjoyed watching ships, boats, and incredible sunsets. But what made our stay exceptional were the hosts, Jeannie and Jim. We had problems finding the car park since we arrived without a car and tons of luggage in the dark and pouring rain. Otherwise, Jeannie's detailed instructions were fine. Jeannie gave us many recommendations for on-site restaurants and nearby places to explore. They even went out of their way by taking us to the airport. I would recommend this lovely apartment to anyone staying in Darwin.

Absolutely beautiful apartment with all the extra touches

We spent 4 nights in this beautiful apartment and wish it was longer. The rooms were really well appointed, comfortable beds and so many extra touches that made our stay more enjoyable. The owners had thought of extra things like beach towels, eski and beach inflatables. The balcony is enormous and BBQ excellent. Parking easy right below apartment. Whilst the apartment is in the block above the dining and beach area, there is zero noise from this area. We would be back in a heart beat.
