Winnellie Hotels with Breakfast

Used Darwin Resort as our port of call while holidaying in Darwin, before road-tripping back to Alice. Found the resort to be almost ideal. It's not in Darwin City itself, which would be a problem if you don't have a car, but for those with cars, Darwin and Casurina is only about 10 - 15 minutes away, while it's also ideally situated for getting away from the city and out to Litchfield for the day. It also has quite a nice pool, and unlike many, actually has shade for it. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the restaurant is shut, but since we were on a budget holiday, that wasn't such an issue either. There were a number of takeways within a 5 minute drive, and we ended up eating at Casurina or Stokes Hill Warf anyway. Staff were professional and friendly, rooms were... well, hotel rooms. Airconditioned, clean, no noise - what more can you really say? Thoroughly recommend for families with cars.

We picked this park basically due to reviews and comments made, and were not disappointed. Very good park, clean with ablutions and other amenties clean and in good condition, Only issue is that toilet cubicles could be bigger so you doint have to straddle to bowlmto close the door, We found all staff we dealt with to be friendly and very helpful. Our site was a good size and easy to get into. We were their during Operation Pitch Black and were woken every moring just after 8:00am with the sound of screaming jets fighers taking off. It was awesome and we have plent of videos and photos. Caravan park is very close to airport runway which can make it noisy when the airforce take off, but we loved it. Location was a bit out of town, but we thought it was perfect. 15 minute drive tothe centre of Darwin. Loved our stay here and we will definately be booking here again when next in Darwin

For the price I paid I wasn't really sure what I was walking into, but I was prepared for the worst. My dad was an alcoholic, I grew up in country pubs. I'm quite comfortable with the smell of beer and cigarettes... Winnellie surprised me. Well the Sports Bar entry to check in didn't, that is straight out of the 70s/80s and is full of old men complaining about the animal they just lost a bet on. Ignore all that and check into your room, it's way better than you think! Freshly painted and refurbished. Amazing air-conditioning. Great amenities. Secure. As a woman travelling alone I felt very safe here. The bathroom is dated but who cares, clean and hot water. This room is kinda a diamond in the rough and you hotta hand it to the owners. It's tough taking on a building like this and making it attractive to modern expectations. It even has a fancy new coffee machine... that is a strong selling point. If you are sensitive to sounds bring earplugs. You will be in an industrial area and next door to an airport. No sound concerns within the building, its a reasonably quiet pub scene here. 100% recommend and would come back if I'm ever up this way again.
