A great place to stay in Darwin

Cullen Bay is a really beautiful, safe, and comfortable place to stay while exploring Darwin. Easy to get to the CBD, the botanic gardens, MAGNT, and East Point Reserve. The room had a gorgeous view and everything we needed!

Lovely stay in Darwin

This was the perfect spot for exploring Darwin and the area. Clean, comfy, amazing water view, close enough to the CBD to get what you need but far enough away to feel like a little oasis, and Adam was amazing. Will definitely stay again if given the chance!

Pros. The water views over Cullen Bay Marina were beautiful from our 8th floor room. Close to Mindal Beach markets. A walkable distance to the City Centre Mall. Undercover parking in the building. Good sized bar fridge. Microwave and toaster etc. Comfortable room size. Cons. Crack in bathroom sink. Balcon furniture getting a bit tired. Mattress a bit firm for my partners liking.
