Great apartment to stay

It was a great position to access all things NT, easy to get the bus to Darwin and Nightcliff. Uber is quite affordable, we didn't find the need to hire a car as we used uber or buses everywhere we went.

Absolutely nothing to dislike about our stay. Excellent communication with the owner. This is not a negative comment, would love to see an outdoors table and a couple of chairs on the balcony for the bigger, smoking, coffee loving visitors. We’ll be back.
