Pet Friendly Accommodation in Batchelor

Boutique style accommodation, clean, convenient to parks and waterfront.

We chose Palmerston area rather than Darwin itself for convenience to where we needed to be. Also it was much more reasonably priced and the reviews of Darwin city hotels were generally pretty low whereas Rydges had rave reviews. We can see why. We have stayed in many hotels both in Oz and overseas and Rydges Palmerston was right up there with the best. Everything was spotless and each detail meticulously cared for. It’s worth visiting for the amazing indigenous artwork on all walls alone. The pool was clear and surrounds relaxing so you could have a drink or a meal from the bar while under the shaded areas as we did. Madame Za had exceptional food and reasonably priced. The salt and pepper croc with lime aoli was delicious and also loved the barramundi curry. Pictured. Free secure parking was a big bonus as well as free newspapers in foyer and Fox tv. The gym was well equipped and clean. Coles and coffee club over the road at Oasis shopping centre if you want cheaper options for breakfast We noticed full laundry facilities available with washers and dryers though we didn’t need to use them. The only negative is we saw no attempt to encourage guests to save water and the environment by reusing towels, recycling anything. Even though I twice put notes myself to not replace towels, it was still done each day for the 5 days we were there. A complete waste. However We would definitely stay here next time we come to Darwin.

View great, bed perfect, laksa delish!

Room 3 was beautifully decorated, modern, clean and comfortable The food at the bistro was delicious

Loved staying at The Mindil Beach Resort. Staff were amazing and helpful. Nothing was too much for them. Restaurants and staff were very efficient with a variety of international foods. But the best features were the pools and stunning sunsets.

I moved from a more expensive hotel to the Cav and I enjoyed the Cav more. While it might be a bit daggy and dated all the positives made up for it - It was more accessible to everything, Darwin's free buses just around the corner and exceptionally hospitable and friendly staff, and great live music in the late afternoon/early evening. I would not hesitate to stay again.
