Skippers at Dundee was a spot on location for relaxing and unwinding - a great place for our friends to come together under the one roof with plenty of room not to be on top of each other. Amazing sunsets, easy walking to the Pub and down to the beach for a spot of fishing. We loved the hammocks and the pool to cool off in, sleeping in clean comfortable, air-con rooms at night was great too!

No complaints!

Absolutely beautiful location, short beachside walk to the pub. Amazing amenities and cute little rooms that have everything you’d need. Will definitely stay again when coming back!

It’s not for me necessarily. But I’d suggest possibly putting all families with kids/babies in one section and couples/singles in an alternate part to avoid waking those up.

The property was lovely, we were lucky to have the place all to ourselves. There was plenty to do and lots of space for the kid to play around. We also had a mix up with our dates, staff were lovely and accommodating with supporting us in changing the date due to unfortunate circumstances.

Mattresses need to be a little comfy

Beautiful spot, had a wonderful time, lovely and clean, everything we wanted. Had a delicious meal at the pub

I booked through booking.com and booked for our 1 year old grandson, when we got there they had booked him his own room away from us which was ridiculous 🙄 The lovely man at Skippers sorted it and we put him in our room in portacot. My issue was when I was booking it, it added a extra $170 for him. The money is being reimbursed so that's not the issue, it's the booking system. It's very confusing

the location was fantastic, outdoor area was superb, it had everything you needed. Great view of the sunset. Very relaxing & enjoyed the small pool, entertaining area, peaceful. BBQ and good size kitchen. Close walk to the local pub and had a nice lunch. Definately will let my friends know all about it and I will be back

The room a little small (double room) but the outside area made up for that and plus you only sleep in the room most the time your outdoors.

Loved our short stay at Skippers. My husband and I went to Dundee to enjoy some rest and just relax. Skippers was the perfect choice. Ben was the friendliest host and couldn’t do enough to ensure we had a great stay. Would highly recommend Skippers to anyone looking for some time out… and for those wanting a fishing adventure I have no doubt a Skippers fishing trip would be the best in Dundee!!

Nothing. It was perfect

Beautiful location and close to everything

No check in staff and couldn’t get a hold of anyone on the phone number and no information was provided on how to check in. Had to ask other guests at the property to help. Then had to also show and help new guests to check in

Great for a one night stay for me as I was only passing through, and never had been there before. Its a small place with only a pub and servo. The accommodation was very good, clean and affordable.

Nothing I didnt like apart from not having more time to stay another night or two

The atmosphere, friendly people and the location, watching the sun go down over the ocean was awesome, I come from the east coast.

Limited room, I hope it gets a chance to grow so we can bring more friends along to experience it.

Everything! View, bed, staff, cleanliness, location, offerings. Big space for kids to run. A fantastic little retreat Courtesy phone call prior to arrival. Friendly owner Ben came to say hello. A rare find these day. Wish our stay was much longer. Definitely coming back next trip to Darwin.

We forgot milk, so a small carton would have been a bonus. Otherwise no faults!
