One of the best properties we have stayed in. Everything we might have needed was there. Best views to watch the boats go by. Would definitely recommend.

I wish we stayed longer! Beautiful apartment and views, perfect location, individual air conditioning control for each room, very comfortable beds. We appreciated all the unexpected useful supplies like beach towels, hats, spices, and blankets. Excellent communication and instructions for accessing the apartment.

Loved every minute of our stay. It was in the best location for us. We go to Darwin as often as we can so we really only wanted to relax and thats just what we did. the view for us was wonderful. Highly recommend this property.
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.
The apartment was fantastic! Well appointed with everything you can think of. The location was excellent with views over the lagoon and Stokes Bay Wharf. The welcome basket of fruit & goodies and the fridge supplies were a lovely touch. Would highly recommend this property!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Jeannie’s apartment. I would highly recommend this apartment on the Waterfront for your holiday.
We had everything we needed and more. Thank you for the extra treats. We don’t often get that.
Kind regards Doris and John
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!

Thank you Chris, we really appreciate your review and are so pleased that you had a great stay at the apartment. We strive to ensure that the apartment is as convenient as possible and that it is spotless and provides everything that could make our guests more comfortable during their stay. The Waterfront is certainly the perfect location!!! We look forward to welcoming you again in the future.
Regards Jeannie
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.

Thank you so much, Valerie — it was an absolute pleasure to host you and your husband. I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed everything the apartment and location had to offer, and that you made the most of your Darwin staycation. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!
All that was promised and more. Apartment was fully self contained with lots of little extras like milk and coffee pods waiting for us after a long flight. The view over the wharf was very interesting seeing the tug boats in action and shipping coming and going. Sunrise and sunsets spectacular from the balcony. Highly recommend
Belle Vue Is the complete apartment experience. Brilliant location, extremely clean and filled with nearly everything you forget going on holiday from the Nespresso machine and pods to the complimentary basket of goodies on arrival. Host extremely engaged without checking and insuring that we had everything that is needed for a great holiday. Totally recommend.
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.
Our stay at Belle Vue was wonderful. The apartment was in a great location, clean and was well stocked with everything you require for a relaxing stay. The owner, Jeannie was very helpful and a lovely host. 5 Stars from us.
Our stay was fabulous. Jeannie’s guidance for entry made an early morning arrival seamless and the location is perfect to experience the best of Darwin. The apartment is spacious with a beautiful outlook and comfortable for our family of five. We were very happy we chose to stay here.
Absolutely perfect, don’t think just book it. We will be back to do more.
Lucky enough to get the apartment for the week and it delivered both in cleanliness and position. What a spot to spend the days near the apartment or as a base to travel out.. just is as described for once.. thanks

About the host
Hosted by Jeannie Bennett
My name is Jeannie and my husband Jim and myself have lived in Darwin for most of our lives. We are located on site at the Waterfront and can provide support if you have any concerns during your stay. Being local and living on site, we are able to provide a more personalised service. As regular travellers ourselves, we have aimed to provide an environment and amenities that we ourselves would expect when we are away from home.
Why they chose this property
This beautiful apartment is right on the water's edge with an unobstructed ocean view across the harbour; the wharf eatery; the cruise ship dock and the swimming lagoon. A perfect central location.
What makes this property unique
The view from the balcony is superb and you will want to sit on the balcony all day watching the ships come and go; the jetski participants heading in and out and generally providing a very meditative feeling. A great place to de stress, relax and within walking distance to everything that you need on your holiday.
