Beautiful spot

We stayed on level 8 which had beautiful views of the sunrise, city and beach. Having the washing machine was fantastic. Unfortunately our lounge area only had see through shades on all the windows, no solid blinds! At night we had to keep the lights off. Cullen bay was beautiful and very convenient.

A great place to stay in Darwin

Cullen Bay is a really beautiful, safe, and comfortable place to stay while exploring Darwin. Easy to get to the CBD, the botanic gardens, MAGNT, and East Point Reserve. The room had a gorgeous view and everything we needed!

Lovely stay in Darwin

This was the perfect spot for exploring Darwin and the area. Clean, comfy, amazing water view, close enough to the CBD to get what you need but far enough away to feel like a little oasis, and Adam was amazing. Will definitely stay again if given the chance!

Lovely clean room however there needs to be some sound proofing done between each apartment that had adjoining doors. You can hear everything from next door like it’s art of your apartment Otherwise great!
