Darwin Style Tropical Luxury Apartment + WARM POOL + Bikes + Pet Croc

Relax in a warm, heated 70,000L saltwater pool surrounded by a tropical gardens. Stroll across the road to watch spell-binding foreshore sunsets and dine at one of the many food trucks. Cycle up to De La Plage for breakfast, or pedal along the never-ending Casuarina beach at low tide, seabreeze in your hair. Or pat our pet crocodile, Squeaky.

This spacious and private 2-bedroom renovated ground floor apartment offers a unique stay at a classy Darwin tropical retreat.

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.

Fantastic and relaxing time
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.

Great place in a great location
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.
