Rooms & complex were clean & tidy. Only bins for rubbish were outside the complex. Red bin in bbq area wasnt emptied, even though it was full, the staff were going through taking out cans. Same as the bin in the pool area. More bins clearly maked cans/bottles & general rubbish would be a good improvement. This would not stop me from further stays in the future.

Two bedrooms with single beds in one room which was great for our needs. Beds were super comfy. Split systems for comfort. Washer & dryer were handy. Pool was a lovely area, cold though! Apartment wasn’t modern and “fancy”, however it was comfy and had everything we needed. The outside area was very nice. Plenty of off street parking. Secure locked gate into the apartments.

Booking for 5. 3 beds and sofa bed. Arrived at 1am. Would have been nice to have the sofa bed made up. Not enough bedding. Male receptionist really not interested in offering any customer service. Ok if it is the last option but don’t expect any service. Good luck,

Excellent location

These are self carering apartments located centrally in Darwin. The location is walking distance to the downtown area and Waterfront and there is a bus stop nearby, as well as grocery store, cafes and car rental. The apartment does the job. The beds were comfortable and decent towels were provided. The pool area is quite nice. Also appreciated that there was a locked gate to the property and free parking. The check in was very pleasant and went smoothly although i was a bit worried because no one had responded to my messages on here beforehand. But, when we got there. The staff had the reservation printed out and everything ready so that waa great. Also, the person working reception was very nice. The suite itself had everything we needed and actually quite a good range of kitchen appliances including rice cooker, kettle and toaster. The fan in the bathroom was broken/we could not figure out how to turn it on and the interior of the apartment definitely could use updating. The carpet could use replacing and vacumming could be done under the beds. There was one night when some guests in another unit were yelling at each other for over an hour at 12am and playing loud music. Just be aware that there is no on-site staff late at night if that happens so you will have to deal with it yourself or call someone. Not really something the property can forsee, but luckily it only happened the one night out of the week we were there. AC was great and ran ice cold. Would return!

I had a fantastic stay at City Gardens Apartments in Darwin! The owner was incredibly accommodating, and the housekeeper was absolutely brilliant. The location is perfect - peaceful and away from the hustle and bustle, yet only a few minutes' walk to the town centre. The apartments are spacious, clean, and well-maintained, making for a very comfortable stay. I will definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Darwin.

Good sized unit. Great location. Small but nice pool area. Very nice beds. Kitchen was very under-equipped which made food prep a challenge. Shower is a good size but had mould on the grout lines. PowerPoint next to telephone was broken. Second bedroom had no hanging bar in the wardrobe so couldn’t hang up any clothes. While I understand the need for the front gate to be locked it was a pain when trying to bring in/take out all our belongings.

I was very happy with my stay at City Gardens. It's a little old but very pleasant, clean, tidy and very central. It had an excellent free NBN Wi-Fi service along with free parking on site. I generally walked to most places and really loved the area Waterfront. Unfortunately most parking is payed but that's expected when your in the City like most states.
