When is the best time to go to Durack?

The best time to go to Durack, Northern Territory, Australia is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. During these months, you'll experience clear skies, lower humidity, and more comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. This makes it ideal for exploring the region's natural attractions without the intense heat and heavy rainfall of the wet season. This period is particularly good for outdoor enthusiasts and those looking to explore the national parks. You'll find that all roads and walking tracks are generally open, allowing full access to places like the Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks, which are known for their waterfalls and ancient rock art. It's also the peak season for wildlife viewing, as animals tend to congregate around dwindling water sources. For those planning a relaxing escape, the dry season offers pleasant evenings great for dining outdoors or enjoying a sundowner.

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. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Durack hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Durack hotel?

Top Durack Hotel Reviews

Nightcap at the Cavenagh

10/10 Excellent

"Clean facilities, cheap meals & friendly staff"

Ramada Suites by Wyndham Zen Quarter Darwin

10/10 Excellent

"Location perfect easy to get around Darwin The rooftop bar a beautiful place and view and the snacks provided for free were amazing The rooms were clean and the unit spacious The design of rooms a little weird in the ensuite a but crammed. Definitely stay again"

Rydges Darwin Central

8/10 Good

"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."

DoubleTree by Hilton Darwin Esplanade

8/10 Good

"Concierge was very helpful considerate and inviting from the moment we arrived, the hotel itself was very clean and the rooms delightful and would stay again the only downfall was they would not replenish the water bottles or the small milks every day (we were there for 5 days) for the kettle in our room so we could have coffee. but one word to the staff and they would rectify it straight away, ideal location close to the waterfront and main streets easy to get to places for dining"

Mindil Beach Casino Resort

8/10 Good

"Rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly. The location was great — just a 5 min drive to the city and close to Mindil Beach, the markets and camel rides. There is free public parking available, or secure parking for $20 per night, which I felt was a little steep. While we had no issues during our stay, I would like to see more secure access to the resort, as some areas can be accessed by the general public. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend it. If you can, I’d suggest booking a stay with breakfast included. We’ll definitely be back!"
