The Bougainvilia House - Beachside Tropical Retreat with Private Pool
Welcome to The Bougainvilia House - Nightcliff
A brand-new tropical retreat just three streets from the beach. Thoughtfully designed for comfort and style, this spacious home blends indoor-outdoor living with lush gardens, a sparkling pool, and alfresco dining with a built-in BBQ.
Spend your days relaxing in the aircon, or a walk to the foreshore for sunset views, exploring the vibrant Nightcliff markets, or unwinding with cocktails at Dom’s Bar.
Your perfect Darwin escape starts here.
This spacious, architecturally thoughtful home is designed for seamless relaxation in the Top End's tropical paradise. With high ceilings, modern finishes, and abundant natural light, it comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests within the main residence and an additional 2 guests in the retreat, making it ideal for families, couples, or groups of friends. The open-plan living area flows effortlessly to the outdoor verandah, where you can lounge in shaded comfort or entertain with the built-in BBQ, bar and outdoor dining area.
Cool off in the plunge pool after exploring the nearby foreshore, and retreat indoors to the fully air-conditioned interiors for movie nights or quiet evenings. Every detail, from premium linens to contemporary decor inspired by Darwin's natural beauty, ensures a luxurious yet homey feel – think plush bedding, high-thread-count sheets, and stylish furnishings that elevate your stay.
