When you’re not lazing by the waterfront, palm-tree-framed outdoor pool or dining al fresco on the upstairs waterfront balcony; you’ll be exploring the very best Darwin has to offer; based in a luxurious home across the bay from Charles Darwin National Park. Downstairs you’ll find two bright and breezy living areas with sleek tiled flooring and modern furnishings. A main lounge room has a couch, additional seating and a wide-screen TV and is framed by windows that let in loads of light and the salty breeze. Nearby you’ll find a fully-equipped kitchen with a fridge, dishwasher, stove and oven; alongside bar-top seating and a dining table. Step out of the large sliding glass doors and into the lush backyard and enjoy the luxury of a prime waterfront position with direct lake access. Downstairs you’ll also find a spacious queen bedroom, a pristine bathroom with a shower, vanity and toilet, and a study with a dedicated working desk. Head upstairs to discover a master bedroom featuring a king bed and a luxurious en-suite with a two-person bathtub; as well as floor-to-ceiling windows that offer spectacular views of the treetops. Two more bedrooms offer queen beds while a fifth bedroom has two single beds. Upstairs also features a sun-soaked balcony with an al fresco dining set framed by spectacular water views, as well as another bathroom. Additional amenities include secure parking for two cars, air conditioning, a laundry room with a washing machine and dryer and high-speed Wi-Fi.

Becoming one of the country’s most visited cities, Darwin’s cosmopolitan feel and up-and-coming culinary scene is quickly turning it from a gateway stopover city to a holiday destination for foodies, families and couples alike. Where better to stay than across the bay from Charles Darwin National Park and a just 15 minutes’ drive away from the CBD; where cooler days can have you exploring the surrounding galleries, bars and eateries, and warmer days can have you heading to the Waterfront Precinct and soaking up the rays at the man-made beach. To experience one of the coolest eateries in town, join the local thirty-somethings at Char Restaurant—a modern Australian steakhouse-meets-seafood-restaurant with a cool courtyard and some great water and sunset views to accompany it.
