Upon arrival @ property we were horrified at the state of the outside. It looked like a prison, dirty & unkept. I wouldn’t let my dogs go in there. Therefore we didn’t even go in & decided to look at alternative accomodation even though we weren’t able to get a refund from them. I’d rather forfeit $ than step foot in the place.

The property is old but maintened well. The only issue was cockroaches, but hard to manage in Darwin & not unreasonable to see some. Owner/Manager helpful and accommodating. Good value for the price.
