Palms City Resort
I really liked this gotel. I stsyed in a bungalow and it was lovely, in amongst lush plants. Laundry room shared using tokens from the front desk. Staff friendly and helpful. Right on the ocean park so you can walk the park and get the ocean views.

Novotel Darwin Airport
Good spot for airport transfer. Be aware they rent the pool and restaurant out to all and sundry, so the purported ‚ resort‘ vibe can be easily killed off with three kid’s birthday parties taking up the pool and an adult party in the restaurant.
