Two spacious bedrooms sleep four guests, with the master bedroom including a queen-size bed while the second bedroom offers two single beds, making this an ideal stay for a family getaway. Both bedrooms feature ceiling fans and large windows to capture the natural light and ocean breezes.

The suburb of Rapid Creek is located 15 minutes’ drive north of Darwin’s city centre and 10 minutes from the airport. It is a central neighbourhood to immerse yourself in Darwin’s vibrant arts, food and entertainment, and is home to Darwin’s oldest market offering more than 100 stores celebrating Asian flavours. From here you are moments from the Nightcliff foreshore, known for its namesake swimming pool and jetty – a popular spot to watch the sunset while tucking into the local food trucks. The Sunday Nightcliff Markets showcase a great range of arts and crafts along with food and local entertainment, while the famous Mindil Beach Sunset Market offers Aboriginal art, fashion and a melting pot of delicious cuisines.
