Rydges Darwin Central

6/10 Okay

"Room had a terrible musty mouldy smell. Our room was very dated, old wooden furniture and curtains. No fresh air available. The mugs were very stained and there was no clock. The bathroom was newly renovated, but the tiles in the shower were slippery."

Mindil Beach Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were really attentive and lovely. The renovations to the rooms are really tasteful and nice. Comfy beds, good set up etc. and yes the lagoon pool in particular was everything I was dreaming of. It would be nice if the swim up bar in the pool stayed open a little later and we were hoping for a microwave in our room, but there really is nothing you can fault with the stay here. It's beautiful."

Ramada Suites by Wyndham Zen Quarter Darwin

10/10 Excellent

"The late check in was easy. The night porter checked us in. We even had a free drink to take to our room. The room was very big with everything we needed for our stay. Bed was comfortable. We even had sports and film channels on TV. The roof top bar had amazing views. We watched the sun go down while drinking a cocktail. They even had free food for people who bought a drink. All in all a great stay in Darwin."

Novotel Darwin CBD

8/10 Good

"Hotel and room clean. Comfy beds. Would stay here again but disappointed nil mini bar and also limited to no bathroom amenities, only soap and shampoo. No moisturisers and creams. Also no complimentary water in the room. The water in the spa near the pool also needed a clean. Breakfast buffet choices were really good. Staff great. The introduction of the table tennis was great for the kids. "

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.
