If you rent a Darwin serviced apartment you will be stepping in some very famous footsteps as Charles Darwin’s famous Beagle moored here in 1839. The fact that he was not on board did not stop them naming the town after him though! Darwin is the smallest state capital in Australia and is the most northerly city. Northern Territory is very short on people but well served by a dramatic setting, matched by its tropical weather with monsoons, cyclones and tropical storms so your stay in a Darwin serviced residence could be an exciting one.

Although the city is small, it is host to loads of interesting events which are incredibly varied. It is a delightful thought that your stay in a Darwin city centre (center) apartment could see you enjoying a Beercan Regatta when all the craft are made of cans, or the Darwin Festival of music, comedy, dance and theatre which rivals anything that Europe or the USA has to offer. The events are very much season led, with so much rain in the wet season making anything outdoor pretty much impossible to arrange.

From your Darwin holiday apartment you will obviously gravitate to the beach, but be careful. Box jellyfish and saltwater crocodiles make bathing a bit of a scary experience and you may prefer to use one of the city’s pools instead. Blue water fishing is another way to enjoy the ocean and is a very relaxing way to spend a few days. This would fit well with a stay in a Darwin short term apartment.

A magical experience not to be missed when staying in a Darwin holiday rental is the Mindil Beach Sunset Market. Every stall, selling all kinds of local crafts and souvenirs as well as food and clothing, has lights on and with the waves lapping in the background you don’t need to do any shopping to have a wonderful time. There are other markets on all through the week but when the shopping is done there are museums and galleries to go to as well. Something you won’t see anywhere else in the world is the stunning Indo-Pacific Marine & Australian Pearling Exhibition, with a living reef and its fish in an enormous tank. Darwin was devastated by Japanese air attacks in the Second World War and there is an interesting exhibit at the East Point Military Museum which explains it all.

Darwin is a city of many faces and a stay in one of its holiday rentals or self-catered apartments will give you an opportunity to explore this modern city with a fascinating history.
