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!

Pros. The water views over Cullen Bay Marina were beautiful from our 8th floor room. Close to Mindal Beach markets. A walkable distance to the City Centre Mall. Undercover parking in the building. Good sized bar fridge. Microwave and toaster etc. Comfortable room size. Cons. Crack in bathroom sink. Balcon furniture getting a bit tired. Mattress a bit firm for my partners liking.

An older style resort, which needs renovating. Overall the small standard room we had chosen was okay for our 2 x night stay. Bathroom was tiny. Reception team were helpful. Used the outdoor pool and there is a good bus service into city centre across the road. As the resort is near the marina, there are eateries, restaurants very close by.

Absolutely loved the location, so close to many excellent eateries. Easy to catch the bus into town. The rooms were well equipped and comfortable. We had an adjoining door to the room next door, this made it easy to hear the people in the other room and you also share a balcony. We probably wouldn’t stay again because of these.

Cullen Bay Resorts was perfect!
We stayed 2 nights last month (June) & Cullen Bay Resorts was perfect! Early check-in, friendly, enthusiastic staff, nothing was too much trouble, luxurious and clean room on the 7th floor, the near 270° views are breathtaking, very conveniently located to everything in Cullen Bay, we thought great value, 5min walk to the waterfront restaurants & beach... like I said perfect. Exceeded expectations. Thanks for looking after us guys.
