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.

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.

Great location, great accommodation

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

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.

About the host

Hosted by Jeannie Bennett

Host profile image
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.
