Sandra, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Facilities were decent for the price. Clean room, comfy bed, all the basics included ie. kettle, tea, coffee, shower essentials, fresh towels etc. Room was above the pub with live music until 10pm + drunken guests partied on a bit longer (ear plugs recommended). Pool + location made up for the sleep deprivation.

Robert, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

The Cavenagh is quite a big complex of rooms above a fairly busy bar (although it’s quiet at night unless on weekends!). My room wasn’t near the bar area so it was fine but i know other people had more issues if they were closer to the front of the building. My room had a skylight but no window but otherwise was a large, clean room with good en suite and effective air con. I wasn’t using the room during the day - i was at a conference nearby - so it was the perfect return for the cost. I probably wouldn’t stay there for a romantic break but if you just need somewhere cheap, safe and clean to stay then it is great!

I was just using this place as a layover spot before I joined my cruise ship. I got in very late after connecting flying from the states. 14 time zones away. Darwin is a wonderful tropical town in the Northern Territory of Australia. Very similar to Hawaii. Very laid back but with all kinds of shopping dining options. This is a bacis only hotel with no frills, a nice swimming pool. Great for I situation like mine.
