This apartment stay was absolutely beautiful. The apartment has everything you need, comfort and all amenities catered for you.
This honestly felt a little home away from home👌
The complex was quiet and secure and I felt very relaxed my whole stay.

Great location with an awesome coffee shop laneway coffee and bakery a short stroll in the morning. Parap tavern right next door with cheap twelve dollar jugs all weekend. Very central and only a ten dollar uber to the city or Mindal markets. Parap markets only a 5 minute walk.

Great apartment to stay
It was a great position to access all things NT, easy to get the bus to Darwin and Nightcliff.
Uber is quite affordable, we didn't find the need to hire a car as we used uber or buses everywhere we went.

Absolutely nothing to dislike about our stay. Excellent communication with the owner.
This is not a negative comment, would love to see an outdoors table and a couple of chairs on the balcony for the bigger, smoking, coffee loving visitors.
We’ll be back.
