In one of Darwin’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, this stunning home creates a luxury base to soak up the city’s relaxed tropical lifestyle. Nestled among beautiful gardens with a private outdoor pool, it has been designed over two levels with a variety of living areas, ideal for those traveling in a group. Air-conditioning and ceiling fans throughout, including in the bedrooms, keep you comfortable year-round. Entering downstairs you’ll find alfresco seating on the front patio—one of many areas to enjoy some fresh air. Stepping inside, the first open plan kitchen and dining area flows to the back garden and swimming pool, creating a lovely integration between indoors and out. Take things slow at the breakfast bar or come together around the large central dining table. A second kitchen and timber dining table can be found upstairs. Both kitchens are fully-equipped with modern appliances and all the essentials. In the evenings, the downstairs lounge room is fantastic for the kids to spread out in front of a central TV, while adults can enjoy some privacy while sipping on some wine within the living room upstairs. There are six bedrooms within the property, each stylishly presented for your stay. Every bedroom is fitted with a queen-sized—bed topped in hotel-quality linens for a good night’s sleep—and comes with ample wardrobe space for your belongings. Upstairs you’ll find three large bedrooms, two of which benefit from neat private ensuite bathrooms. While the main bathroom upstairs highlights a luxurious freestanding bathtub and separate rain shower. There is also a dedicated office with an ergonomic chair, monitor and printer for those working remotely. The remaining three bedrooms are located downstairs and share a contemporary main bathroom. Guests will also have access to a washing machine in the garage creating convenience for longer stays. Parking is available on the driveway for three cars.

The inner-city suburb of Parap sits less than 10 minutes’ drive from Darwin’s CBD and Waterfront Precinct. It’s home to the much-loved Parap Village Markets, where you can sample the region’s local tropical fruits, fresh roasted coffee and mouth-watering exotic flavours, each Saturday. In the Top End, get up close to saltwater crocodiles on a jumping croc cruise, explore traditional and contemporary art galleries and swim under the waterfalls of Litchfield National Park. Don’t miss grabbing dinner at the famous Mindil Beach Sunset Market (April-October), which showcases Aboriginal art, fashion and a melting pot of delicious cuisines.
