Enquiry response: Excellent
Self-contained apartment
The apartment, in a small block in a premium location, is set in a park with ancient banyan trees and huge mahoganies, contributing to the sense of simple tranquility. Polished cypress floorboards upstairs provide a rich foreground to views over the Fannie Bay cliffs and Mindil Beach.
Gecko Beach is designed to be self-sufficient. It is fully furnished, with a fully equipped kitchen and laundry, television, DVD and sound system, and all linen supplied. There is a queen size bed in the main bedroom, a double in the second bedroom. Wireless broadband is on line at no extra charge. The apartment is airconditioned in all rooms and has been recently renovated for your comfort, with new furniture and fittings. There is off-street undercover parking if you are driving. Walk in with your suitcase, and make yourself at home!
The location is perfect. The beach and Darwin's fabulous sunsets are at your door, literally over the road. Lake Alexander is a five minute walk away. The Fannie Bay café, restaurant and shopping precinct is on the next block. Premium tourist sites like the notorious Fannie Bay Gaol, the Military Museum and the Mindil Beach and Parap Markets are in easy walking distance. And Fannie Bay Racecourse - if you are in town for the Cup, you can forget about trying to get a taxi - just walk there! For further destinations, a bus stops right outside the door, putting you in the city within minutes.
Gecko Beach is close to the centre of things, without the noise and traffic of the city and Nightcliff. We guarantee that you won't find a more gorgeous mix of Darwin's city life and its natural attractions, or such a cute and funky little townhouse, anywhere.
Prices range from $109 per night (December to February), $139 per night in the shoulder, $180 in the high shoulder (May and September) to $219 in the dry (June to August).
There is a minimum booking period of three nights.
