Clean & comfortable
The rooms are clean and tidy. The AC works well and the amenities are maintained in an excellent state. I appreciated the onsite secure parking and proximity to Darwin CBD. The concierge desk is open 24 hours, however the phones are rarely anwered during work hours. I left voice messages with my questions. It took a few days for someone to get back to me, and they were helpful.

Ideal Darwin stay for us
Our Garden Bungalow at Palms City was an ideal base to explore the city and area. In an excellent location for walking to the main areas of interest the resort is a lovely green oasis in contrast to the high rise hotels around. Our Garden Bungalow was comfortable, well equipped and spacious with a good balcony area where we ate our meals. As it happened we didn’t use the pool but it looked good and seemed quite lively. Disappointed though that the one time we decided to use the (limited hours) pool bar they had run out of cocktails 😕 That’s why I marked service down from 5*. We hadn’t booked breakfast and didn’t use the dining area but it seemed well used and looked good. Overall really pleased we stayed here and would definitely be our first choice for a return to Darwin

Resort is in an awesome location for walking to the CBD shops or the Waterfront precinct (for dining). Lovely gardens and breakfast was great value. Stayed in a garden bungalow -very quiet & great aircon. Only criticism would be that pool is a little small -would have been great if separate adults & children"s pool. Certainly stay here again if we get back to Darwin.

Good location.
Good location. Close to Smith Street and the mall. Rooms are small and can hear people walking past the room. It didn't feel private. The room was clean. I didn't use the pool but other guests took advantage of it. There is a laundry.

This is one of my favourite properties in Darwin. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Bathroom is compact but excellent. Nothing like a great shower at the end of the day. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was available and plentiful. Will definitely stay here again.
