Thinking about heading to Darwin? From the little things to the deal-breakers, here\u2019s everything you need to know about a stay at one of the city\u2019s top accommodation options:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    \n
  1. You can\u2019t beat the location.\u00a0<\/strong>Adina<\/a> is part of the gorgeous new Waterfront precinct smack bang in the newest part of Darwin. Think hotels, restaurants, bars and boutiques \u2013 you\u2019re right amongst the action.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Bring out your inner child in the wave lagoon.\u00a0<\/strong>Just outside the Adina, this man-made (and croc-free!) swimming option features 10 different wave patterns. I even spotted a water aerobics class in full swing early one morning!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\"Hotel\n
        \n
      1. It\u2019s worth asking for a water view room.\u00a0<\/strong>We were placed in a lovely room but it only had street views. A quick phone call and we were given the okay to move. If you don\u2019t ask, you don\u2019t get \ud83d\ude09<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. The AC will be your best friend<\/strong>. Savour the escape from the Darwin heat as soon as you step into the foyer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\"Adina\n
            \n
          1. On-site parking <\/strong>($10 per night) is an easy option and there were plenty of spaces available during our stay.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
            1. If you\u2019re lucky, you might score a gift. <\/strong>Nothing says welcome like a bottle of red.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\"Adina\n
                \n
              1. The luxe toiletries<\/strong> are a nice touch and the bath is HEAVEN!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\"Darwin\n
                  \n
                1. Enjoy easy access to the CBD via the Sky Bridge<\/strong>, just a short stroll from the hotel and worth a look for the view alone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                    \n
                  1. Fitness fans are looked after<\/strong> with the small but well-equipped gym. If the treadmill isn\u2019t your thing, get your fit on in the pool.\"Adina<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    \u00a010.\u00a0\u00a0A self-contained apartment is a great option<\/strong>. The comfy living area, well-equipped kitchen and separate bedrooms feel homely and welcoming. And you can\u2019t beat a glass of wine enjoyed on your own balcony.<\/p>\n

                    \u00a011.\u00a0Take advantage of the complimentary shuttle bus<\/strong> just outside to hit up the Parap Markets (make sure you go hungry, it\u2019s a food lovers\u2019 dream!<\/p>\n

                    \u00a012.\u00a0The breakfast crew are the friendliest ever<\/strong> and even if you\u2019re not a morning person, you\u2019ll be hard-pressed not to walk out of the dining area with a smile on your face. The top-notch buffet breakfast options help too; the yoghurt, muesli and berries gets my vote.<\/p>\n\"Adina\n

                    \u00a013.\u00a0Keep an eye out for visitors.<\/strong> A couple of (little) lizards in our room were a reminder we were in the Top End!<\/p>\n

                    \u00a014. Get your cruise on. <\/strong>You\u2019re in walking distance to the Stokes Hill Wharf where you can jump on one of the champagne and dinner sunset cruises. It would be rude not to.<\/p>\n\"Adina\n

                    \u00a015.\u00a0It\u2019s well equipped for conferences<\/strong>. *Hint, hint* to your boss to head North for any conferences this year, especially during the winter months when Darwin days are balmy and lovely. You\u2019ll be the office hero.<\/p>\n
