Darwin is the gateway to the amazing Kakadu National Park. There are many popular waterfront areas with several beaches and green areas like Bicentennial Park. While sightseeing, make sure you visit the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, displaying Southeast Asian and Pacific art. For outdoor enthusiasts, there are some good fishing and mountain biking spots. We are located on a 5-acre block on the edge of town. The top 2 acres are laid out in a tropical garden setting, with the other 3 acres set out with native Darwin plants visited by lots of native animals and birds. You'll feel like you're a whole world away yet you will only be 2 minutes from the supermarket, 5 minutes from a large shopping centre, and 15 minutes from Darwin's CBD. We are a small boutique site and only have currently 3 sites on the 5 acres. Your site is private and you will be able to enjoy your stay without interference from others. IMPORTANT: Each site can accommodate 2 adults MAX. If you have 3 or 4 adults, you will need to book both sites. Please note Pool site is open all year round and has permanent cover. Other sites are dependant on weather and access.

Private, quiet, peaceful.
A lovely private spot. Quiet and fairly central. Peter is a nice friendly host who provides the information you need. We really enjoyed our time here and will definitely stay here again. So much better than staying in the big campgrounds.

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.

Ficus Longifolia Site
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
