Discovery Parks Darwin

Location really suited us. Management was very understanding when we requested a site change as we were staying for three weeks. Thank you. Would have liked to see a little more attention given to the surrounding gardens etc as we were paying top dollar Only discovered ‘new’ area the day before we left. Much nicer! Serious money and effort has been put into the highway end of the park. Hopefully working through the park and this will also solve their plumbing issues! Two pools is a bonus. Would stay again acknowledging the planes and the fact that all parks in Darwin are expensive.

I loved our drive through site it was tidy and spacious and I didn't feel hemmed in. The ablutions are old but clean. The hot water taps are on the opposite side than usual so don't be fooled into thinking there's no hot water There are two pools both freezing but the one at the front doesn't attract the kids so peaceful for us oldies. It's close to everything in Darwin CBD but a little further from other attractions. It's expensive at $72 dollars and that's booking early with a discount. Noise from the airport is definitely heard but it didn't bother me or keep me awake there was some distant noise from the speedway over the weekend but again it wasn't a bother to us.

Don’t stay here if you’re expecting a peaceful unbroken nights sleep or a sleep in in the morning. Planes ( that feel like they are going to fly through your front door) , taking off late at night, around 2-3 am and in the early morning will prevent that. If you love the sounds of jet engines though, then this is the place for you as the location is great (apart from being neighbours with the RAAF base and airport) as are the two pools and facilities. Staff are doing their best although I feel they are ready for a stouch when you walk through the office door considering the complaints they must receive. The poor things don’t seem too happy. Oh and don’t stay here on the Darwin show weekend either unless you love carnival noises and the sounds of screaming girls until 11pm each night. The show ground is a friendly Neighbour too !! Something we weren't told about until we arrived. We were offered the option to leave but of course everything else was booked out so we had no other option but to stay. Come stay but bring your ear plugs.
