Top Alawa Hotel Reviews

Club Tropical Resort Darwin

10/10 Excellent

"×××××××××××××××××@@@@@@××××××"

Hilton Garden Inn Darwin

8/10 Good

"The Hilton Garden In hotel was fantastic, the staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The only feedback I would give is that the laundry on Level 2 can do with a good clean and a plug for the basin. It’s a shame the washing machines don’t have a spin cycle only you have to give a whole wash and pay 8.49."

Mercure Darwin Airport Resort

10/10 Excellent

"These new bungalows at the Mecure Airport resort are great. You barely even feel like you are in a resort as they are on the edge with lovely natural gardens. They are modern and functional and we would definitely book them again. We are NT locals who often stay here when transiting on holidays."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Alawa?

The best time to go to Alawa is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.

This period offers consistently pleasant weather with clear skies and lower humidity, making it ideal for exploring the region's natural attractions. Temperatures during these months are typically warm but not excessively hot, usually ranging from 20°C to 30°C. You'll find it comfortable for outdoor activities like hiking and wildlife spotting.

For travellers keen on experiencing the national parks and outdoor adventures, the dry season is perfect. Many walking trails and roads that might be inaccessible during the wet season are open, allowing full access to areas like Kakadu National Park and Litchfield National Park. This is also when you're more likely to see wildlife congregating around shrinking water sources.

Couples looking for a relaxing escape will appreciate the dry season's calm conditions. You can enjoy sunset cruises without the worry of storms, and outdoor dining experiences are much more enjoyable.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.
