Chillout

We had a lovely stay. The host was so nice. It suited our situation perfectly. Out of the city but still plenty of facilities around.

Excellent stay

Really enjoyed our weeks stay here. Lovely and relaxing and we enjoyed our bbqs on the patio watching the geese ducks and chickens. Accommodation was very spacious and provided a separate room for sleeping and bathroom. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and more. A country feel but close enough for us to make a couple of day trips to enjoy Darwin.

Howard Springs

We were there for a week. I was excited to be out of the city for our stay. When we arrived it was not what we expected. 2 separate dwellings, one was bedrooms and bathroom and the other was kitchen, dining, lounge with a covered in verandah. The owners property is not far away. Was very disappointed with the pool. We presummed we had access to it, but the owners run a swim school from it most days and you dont always have access. We had some cockroaches in the cupboards and drawers and tiny ants on the benches and window sills. The pictures did not give you the proper idea of what the property was. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

Birders: THE best place to stay near Darwin

What a wonderful place, and host family. (Artemis is the Mom and host.) We had two separate "cabins" - one that served as our sleeping area (with attached bathroom) and the other with kitchen/living room/TV...both had superb air con (and hot water A+). What a wonderful deal - book this place well ahead because it is worth it ESPECIALLY is planning on going to Fogg Dam for birds/wildlife (about a 30 minute drive otherwise at least an hour from Darwin city area). This accommodation is remote but a great shopping center 10-15min by car, and a wonderful Thai take out place about 5 min by car. We had great privacy - and learned much about the history of the area (Artemis grew up here). If possible visit her parents near Fogg Dam (they have Rainbow Pittas on their farm (a flower/fruit farm). Nearby Howard Springs Nature Park has Rainbow Pittas...but Fogg Dam was the best place to be. Barking Owl near the restaurant in the Botanical Gardens (calling during day); occasionally Rufous Owl and Southern Boobook seen on this property. Overall for value, ease of access, privacy - and kindness of host, this was one of our best stays in our two months traveling Queensland, NT and Sydney. Really great value - ignore negative comments - this place is worth it (we stayed 8 days). Check bird guide books for other local places to find birds...Darwin is worth at least one week...We were here in mid-July 2024 and had a great time. Thank You!

Firstly the hosts are absolutely lovely, secondly the pool is a life saver in the heat.

We loved our stay. The hosts are lovely, the tropical garden divine, the pool a life saver and the price was fair. All was as described. I definitely plan to return. Big thank you from both of us 😊😁

Interesting,quirky.

Different. Not quite what we expected but acceptable. The property description was vague but in the end we were comfortable. We are the sought of people that don't need to be in a flash CBD unit/hotel. For what we paid it was ideal.

Tropical oasis

What a great property and wonderful host. Loved that nothing was a bother and the quiet location meant the best sleep we both had in ages. Would not hesitate to revisit and highly recommend. The animals, the quiet and the huge bedrooms were fantastic.

A taste of the real territory

Just perfect for a self contained stay, in Darwin. Rural location, but all amenities close by. Easy drive to city attractions. The most beautiful property and the chickens, ducks etc are a great bonus. Property very well equipped. The host Artemis is so welcoming and super informative of all the property has to offer. Will definitely stay again Jo Hancock

Not a house, 2 Dongas with a breeze way in between. Only a 2 seater couch for 4 people. Felt unco

Was expecting a house not 2 Dongas. Only a 2 seater couch for 4 people. Was not comfortable entering owners living area to get to pool.
