Discovery Parks always deliver. Our cabin was super clean and very comfortable. The bed was great. Wifi is spotty and weak so we used our Telstra hotspot. We really like Discover Parks and try to stay in one if we can. They are consistent, clean, shared bathrooms are clean and well done. We had to drive to everything but I felt we were lucky to get a place last minute. Darwin is a funny place. We found a kabab restaurant that was very good considering it was just a hole in the wall joint! There was an Aboriginal Art Show that was amazing. It's famous for it's WWII stuff but we didn't have time. Off to Litchfield and Kakadu.

The location was in an industrial area. Not far from town. It wasn't bad, just not pretty or interesting.

Fantastic staff who went above and beyond for me! The studio cabin was clean, well equiped and the bed was so comfortable. A great location to get to the city and all the local attractions and airport but far enough away to be peaceful and safe. 10 minutes to city centre. There is a good afterhours check in process in place and communication was fabulous. I will definitely be back.

Although there was a boucy pillow for the kids, a playground would be an awesome addition to this park. The pools were awesome but a little too cold (minor complaint really!) They were still refreshing, one you braved the initial entry into the water.

I stay here regularly and the chalets are always up to scratch. They perhaps are getting a little dated but they have everything you need and are comfortable enough. If staying in Darwin, this is a good central location and not far from the airport.

The park was great, lovely pool,nice grounds. Late check in was sorted by the park staff so appreciated. The park was on the highway but close your room door and no noise, bed was very comfortable and the room was spotless. Staff that we dealt with were great.

Good location. good facilities. Friendly and very helpful staff, special mention for Christy Hamilton who went out of her way to be helpful.

it ===It can't be changed but Airport noise took getting used to. A light over the kitchen sink and hot plates in the cabin would be beneficial.

I love how it was just out of the city and the very green scenery. The staff were amazing and had activities on throughout the week which was super cool also there is possums throughout the night climbing up trees

Nothing loved it

The property was able to accommodate overflow parking for our group and catered for a slightly earlier check in, with a smile! We’d been on an intense outback charity event and all were so grateful to arrive to accommodation, that surpassed all group member expectations!

Clean rooms. Easy access to all facilities. Staff are very helpful and friendly

No access to gym facilities as they were locked during the whole stay. Laundry facilities weren’t all working and looked very dirty and outdated Boom gates were open both during the night and days during the stay.

Facilities were great. Room on the smaller size but very well organized. Bathroom was more than we expected. Discovery park is located 10 - 15 minutes to any beach or center of town.

When someone advertise wifi you could expect usable speed and access. So basically wifi is not existent. Not happy
