Was a great little cabin we stayed in and the staff were friendly and helpful. The only reason why I didn’t give cleanliness an excellent was that the sheets had stains on them and the cupboard caused our clothes to smell. The staff replaced the sheets as soon as I notified them it but we didn’t notice the cupboard until the last night we left, an airing in the dryers sorted that problem out. Overall, I’d have no issues staying here again as the two little issues we had were minor and I’d never experienced them anywhere else.

Julie and the team at Discovery Parks Darwin were nothing short of amazing during our whole stay. Nothing was ever too hard for them and they went out of their way to help on multiple occasions. Our cabin was light and bright and had all amenities we needed. Camp Kitchen/BBQ facilities were also great and kept squeaky clean. A choice of pools always meant you could get amongst the action or have a quiet snooze in the sun. Would absolutely recommend a stay here!
