*We treat our guests like royalty and try to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Please let us know if you have any special requests. *We live upstairs but your space is very private. There are no adjoining walls and our windows don't face any of your spaces or the pool. *The bedroom area is semi open-plan with curtains. *5th guest will be on a mattress on the floor. If you are more than 4, or you want more privacy, you might consider booking our larger Airbnb option that includes an extra queen bedroom and ensuite.

*Apartment is on the ground floor: no steps. Private entrances, private spacious outdoor space and private pool gate. *Pool is heated to 27-30C+ all dry season. We honour your privacy and never use the pool or back garden when guests are on the property. *Our property is gated and locked. * Long term rental? 1 Oct to 31 March only. $4000 per calendar month + bond clean. NOTE: - We live in a family neighbourhood where our neighbours also like to enjoy their verandas. Because of this we cannot allow boom box playing on the premises. If you want a loud party, the Foreshore, The Beachfront Hotel, or the CBD are great places for that. - We are located 15 mins from the CBD of Darwin City. It is advisable that you have a car, but not essential as there are bikes and Uber. The location is fantastic and many people prefer it to the CBD. - For insurance purposes, pool and amenity use is for paying guests only. Visitors must be checked in as guests. - Aircons are professionally cleaned annually. - Billy the gecko lives in the kitchen and eat flies and midges. On rare occasions you might be lucky to see Percy the harmless python or Wally the wacky water monitor visit the garden. Possums and native rats run about on our roof and fence and provide entertainment. While we change the roach baits 4x year and have the place professionally sprayed twice a year, an occasional cockroach might still sometimes wander in. No pest control can get rid of sandflies/mozzies/midges, but we encourage you to use the Aerogard that is supplied. This is all just part of fun of living in Darwin (and Australia).
By booking you agree that you're ok with all of the above.

The pool was fantastic, providing hours of joy for our family. Great location near the Nightcliff foreshore. Sarah is a lovely host and always replying promptly to any queries we had.
We had a fantastic time at Sarah’s. Very relaxing, the house was perfect. Sarah had thoughtfully typed out the local food vans’ positions and days which made meals really easy.
We are a family of five and found this a great place to stay, nice and close to the coast, airport and Darwin’s attractions. The kids spent most of their time in the great pool. Nice and clean and owners were quick to respond to any issues. Thanks Sarah and Carl we’ll be back.
