Cabins near Darwin

·

Darwin’s cabin camping scene punches above its weight, with over 40 spots offering sturdy shelter from the wet season and a front-row seat to the Top End’s wild side. Prices start at $70 a night, with most places averaging around $135. Cabins here aren’t just four walls—they come with showers, wifi, and you can actually light a campfire. Wildlife-watching and swimming are the go-to ways to fill your days, and you’ll find cabins tucked along riverbanks, near billabongs, and just outside town. Local favourites include The Urban Retreat (176 reviews) for its laid-back vibe, Nina's Ark Wildlife Sanctuary (3 reviews) for a close-up with native animals, and Pandanus on Litchfield (2 reviews) if you want to wake up near the national park. Book early in the Dry, pack for humidity, and don’t forget to bring mozzie repellent—Darwin’s bush knows how to keep you on your toes.
