PLEASE READ ALL BEFORE BOOKING

We treat our guests like royalty and try to make your stay as comfortable as possible so please let us know if you have any special requests.
*We live upstairs but no adjoining walls and our windows don't face the pool or any of your living spaces. You have 100% privacy.
*Pool is heated to 27-30C during the dry season.. We honour your privacy and never use the pool or back garden when guests are on the property.
*The third bedroom is upstairs, has ensuite bathroom and is free standing.
*The downstairs sleeping areas are semi-open plan.
* Private entrances, private spacious outdoor spaces and private pool gate.
*The 7th guest will be on a mattress on the floor.
*The apartment and patio is not childproof. Parents must be vigilant.
*We have several bikes for your use.
*Our property is gated and locked.
* No long term rental or negotiation enquiries thanks.
NOTE:
- We live in a family neighbourhood where our neighbours also like to enjoy their verandas. Because of this we cannot allow boom box playing on the premises. If you want a loud party, the Foreshore, The Beachfront Hotel, or the CBD are great places for that.
- We are located 15 mins from the CBD of Darwin City. It is advisable that you have a car, but not essential as there are bikes and Uber. The location is fantastic and many people prefer it to the CBD.
- For insurance purposes, pool and amenity use is for paying guests only. Visitors restricted to family members and must be checked in as guests.
- Aircons are professionally cleaned annually.
- Billy the gecko lives in the kitchen and eat flies and midges. While we change the roach baits 4x year and have the place professionally sprayed twice a year, an occasional cockroach might still sometimes wander in. On rare occasions you might be lucky to see Percy the harmless python and Wally the water monitor visit the garden. Possums and native rats run about on our roof and fence and provide entertainment. No pest control can get rid of sandflies/mozzies/midges, but we encourage you to use the Aerogard that is supplied. This is all just part of fun of living in Darwin (and Australia).

By booking you agree you are OK with all the above.

Great place for a family
This is a beautiful property in a great location with very thoughtful and attentive hosts. We had the whole downstairs apartment to ourselves which had everything we needed. The pool was great, it really helped to entertain the kids without having to go out. We were very close to the beach and the foreshore which had playgrounds and food options. The hosts had made information booklets with very detailed food recommendations and activities to do. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Very experienced host
Appreciated Sarah’s experience hosting - everything was well considered and we found the check in process very easy, even in the middle of the night! Our space was lovely, Carl and Sarah were around the place if we needed. Location was fabulous for us. A big thankyou for having us guys, we LOVED the pool and the ease of indoor/outdoor living.

Some friends and I stayed here for three nights whilst on a Darwin fishing trip. The house was great with somewhere to park the boat and plenty of room for the 5 adults. Great pool to escape the Darwin heat and very accommodating hosts. We’ll be back.

Sarah has a lovely house in a quiet location that is within walking distance of the beach and cafes. And the pool is tremendous. Highly recommended.
