9.6/10 Exceptional! (56 reviews)
Our family recently enjoyed a very comfortable 7 night-stay in a 2 bedroom apartment at Elsey on Parap and would happily stay there again. The quiet suburban location is ideal - local shops across the street (including bakery, newsagent, cafes with GREAT coffee, post office, and the weekly Parap Markets) - and easy walking distance to the Darwin Ski Club and Darwin Sailing Club. Things we loved about the accommodation: easy after hours check-in, well-appointed and spotlessly clean, 2 good-sized bedrooms (each with ensuite bathroom), spacious kitchen and living areas, self-contained laundry, ceiling fans in all rooms, balcony overlooking the 15 metre pool, a lift (our apartment was on the 2nd floor), friendly housekeeping staff, and secure off-street parking. Special thanks to Michelle, the lovely on-site manager who was so very welcoming and helpful with information about local eateries and attractions. She really enhanced our stay! 👌😁

I honestly can’t even begin to tell you how AMAZING this motel was! From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted with the freshest, cleanest smell. The room was absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean, and everything smelled incredible. I even had to ask the lovely person at reception what their secret was to getting the linen to smell SO amazing and they kindly shared their secret with me, which I’ll definitely be using at home! The motel is beautifully maintained, reasonably priced, and the staff were so lovely and welcoming. I will 1000% be recommending this place to anyone and everyone. I’ve stayed in plenty of places, but this one has definitely set the standard. This will now be my go-to place to stay whenever I’m in Darwin. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough! ❤️

The hotel was built in 1997 and the style and joinery has not changed. All is clean and tidy, very quiet, and staff friendly and helpful. Great central location. The superior room was large, but there are no extra fittings so it feels spartan, particularly with the small TV. The auto emails and sms reminders about check-out are tedious, and although we had a late 2pm check-out, the reminders kept saying 10:30am, and the room card disabled at 10:30am. A good stay though, and I would book again.

I had several problems with the room; TV issues, the safe wouldn't open, and a light flashed on my phone. The staff were apologetic and they were able to fix the TV issues. The room was spacious and clean. The shower was great. Overall, despite the problems, it wasn't too bad.
