Top Darwin Aviation Museum Hotel Reviews

The Leea Darwin

10/10 Excellent

"Decent place to stay. Looking forward to the pool area being finished."

Oaks Darwin Elan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My third stay and I will return with a group of friends next year. Great location. Good breakfast and restaurant. Lovely staff. Great apartments, everything you could need"

Quality Hotel Darwin Airport

8/10 Good

"The hotel was well located near the Darwin airport. The free shuttle was beneficial. Had to pay for breakfast. No restaurant but Bistro very close to hotel. Bistro offered discounted meals for Seniors. 😀"

Mindil Beach Casino Resort

8/10 Good

"Rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly. The location was great — just a 5 min drive to the city and close to Mindil Beach, the markets and camel rides. There is free public parking available, or secure parking for $20 per night, which I felt was a little steep. While we had no issues during our stay, I would like to see more secure access to the resort, as some areas can be accessed by the general public. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend it. If you can, I’d suggest booking a stay with breakfast included. We’ll definitely be back!"
