There were no lights to see where to go when I arrived late. There was an old sign with a different resort name in it confusing me. The girl at reception was not helpful. Richard the manager and Frank were helpful. The switch was broken so light in bathroom didn’t work so couldn’t have a shower after a long trip. Milk in fridge was off. Instructions to give the taxi driver could have saved me carting 30kg of luggage 500m.

Next time we may or may not stay in a cabin. We are both light sleepers so heard guests coming and leaving with heavy luggage almost nightly.

Hi Beryl thank you for your recent review, as with a lot of hotels in Darwin guests arrive trough out the evening with the late/early flight arrivals. Our cabins do provide a more private location. We do hope you enjoyed your visit to Darwin.

Hi Shannon Thank you for your recent review, its a shame you make no reference to which photos you don't feel match the room, as there are several room types available to guests who often book for example a budget room expecting they will receive the cabin when reviewing the room types and are disappointed with their choice. We do hope you enjoyed your visit to Darwin.

Cabin 38. Up grade outdoor furniture, paint the picket fence, fix towel rack in bathroom, make use of the space in the cabin by putting in dining suite and move couch tv around to where wardrobe, wash curtains or put up bright colourful ones that reflect the resort name and do a whole new garden makeover so it looks like a tropical resort...

while the staff were lovely this is not what is advertised!! booked a deluxe queen room ended up in 2 bedroom donga which was an upgrade apparently !! very old outdated NO breakfast as advertised NO restaurant very poor effort but knew they didn't have to really care big weekend of motorsport limited accom avail so didn't really care that we didn't get what we had paid for or ordered as you didn't have any other options, no offer of money back or discount actually charged me more then had to wait for the refund to come back into account. TV did not work one pool was green. So disappointing when we were so excited for the first trip away in 3 years lucky we only slept there but do not expect fancy or even above average. Staff were lovely but management need to be held accountable for false advertising

We do not have dongas on site at the property. Many guests are traveling on a budget at present or looking for a bargain, we do offer a variety of room types at the property. We do hope you enjoyed your visit to the Top End.
