Darwin Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Outback September 10-17. Landed in Darwin as planned, secured our rental car and began the engineering of fitting in all the bags. A Rubik cube would have been easier. Eventually everything fell into place and Ali-Kazam, we were on our way. We began our way to the Crowne Plaza Hotel effortlessly as our Garmin GPS took us to the precise location ...

Well I have been in Darwin almost 8 weeks now and I just about feel like a local.  Darwin is such a transient city that you do not need to be here long to claim local status.  I have got used to people saying "that's Darwin!"  when I comment on people not bothering to phone back, or people (mostly males) walking around the city barefoot and shir...

Darwin I was looking forward to relaxing while in Darwin and it didn't disappoint. I stayed for a week at the Peninsular Apartment Hotel on the edge of the centre square in Smith Street and spent a couple of those days doing absolutely nothing. Darwin is a very modern city and is beautiful. If it wasn't for the heat and humidity, I could easily ...

Bugger, it's hot here! But it isn't the temperature that kills you (33 degrees) - the humidity can soar so high you just sweat standing still. We arrived Wednedsay afternoon to a cool 34 degrees and something like 70% humidity which, when we walked out of the airport terminal, just hit us like a wall of heat. Despite this we found our hire car -...

We awoke early again, though this time to a cool breeze. A small storm had dropped some rain overnight and brought the temperature down to near a comfortable level. After the short drive to the Katherine Gorge National Park we began our three hour hike. About half of the group opted for the $40 boat ride, choosing not to sweat it out on the trai...

Nu her til morgen er det lykkedes os efter at vaere gaaet forgaeves til internetcafe - denne var i udu - at finde et sted for studerende, som vi har faaet lov at benytte, saa nu haaber vi at I faar nogle billeder. Naeste kapitel bliver fra Alice Spring - hvis internettet vil.

First thing when you get out of the plane in Darwin, it's ****ing hot! after freezing in Perth, we're enjoying it! We're staying at Youth Shack (and not shag like i say all the time...), it's a really cool place with a swimming pool. The all city looks like a holiday resort by the ocean, everything there is made for backpackers... Tomorrow we're...

Firstly a quick "author's note" - you may have noticed that the first entries were written in the first person then changed to "Jayne" and "Patrick", trying to make it more balanced. However, our tasks have split up very clearly over the months, and as I, Jayne, do the writing, and Patrick does the photos, I shall proceed in the first person, as...

English - Darwin is the most northern part of Australia that we will visit on our travels. It is very humid here but unfortunately we can't cool off in the sea because there are too many Salt Water Crocodiles, Sharks and the some of the baddest jellyfish in the world. Never mind, we made the most of it and had our first night out in ages which w...

We weren't really sure what to expect of Darwin except much warmer weather and possibly some stereotypical Aussies using all the lingo we've been waiting to hear. It hasn't let us down on those 2 counts, or on so many others and it has completely sucked us in, now we are finding it hard to leave, as we know we must. Darwin city is pretty small, ...
