Bougainvillea Site
This was a lovely retreat in Darwin, away from the hustle and bustle, with lots of privacy. Peter has made a beautiful garden to explore. A tropical paradise.

Peter was such a welcoming host and his property is grouse. He went out of his way to get me a fan to make sure I wasn’t hot enough and gave me some of his homegrown bananas. Awesome pool and a very nice and clean bathroom.

Our Best Stop Yet
After 10 months on the road and we found this oasis in Darwin. So magnificent to be immersed in nature and feel like we had all 5 acres to ourselves. Pete made us feel like long time friends. The pool is delightful, the facilities spotless and our caravan spot beautifully shady. We were so relaxed that we decided to rescue a dog and without hesitation we were able to bring him back. Skip the big parks and stay here!

This was a very pleasant stay - private with good amenities, including swimming pool, shower and laundry. Petter continues to work on it, so watch this space

Amazing wildlife location in Darwin
We loved staying at the Urban Retreat. Pete the host met us at the gate and showed us to our site - lots of space, very secluded. Loved the 'shower block' - the names of the people staying on each of the four sites are written on the door - there is a washing machine ($2 donation per load), bath mats (a new one each time you shower), and a green tree frog (who apparently sometimes lives in the toilet but doesn't mind being flushed down!). We had problems with our van electrics on the first day - Pete provided us with a new electric fan and extension cable so that we could keep the van reasonably cool. Loved the site - it's not really a camp site - more of a wildlife refuge. Great location if you are staying in Darwin. Pete (the host) couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Next time we are in Darwin we will definitely stay here again - can't recommend it highly enough.
