Oaks Darwin Elan Hotel

The view was amazing, it was located a short distance from shops, so very convenient. The food in the restaurant was good and the prices reasonable. Continental breakfasts were included in the price of the accommodation, but we only used it once.

Check in was a breeze and the friendly front desk staff gave me a beautiful room on a high floor with a fantastic view! The location was great - close to plenty of restaurants and local tourist activities. Every morning, the plentiful, complimentary continental breakfast buffet, with lots of fresh fruit and juices coffee, tea, a delicious assortment of pastries, hard boiled eggs, toast, jams and jellies, cereal etc. were available. The hotel is very clean and everything in my room worked properly. I highly recommend Oaks Darwin to anyone staying there.

We were in an apartment/studio on the 25th floor so the view was magnificent. The room was well appointed and exceptionally clean. A hand held shower and a rain shower were a bonus with plenty of storage in the bathroom and kitchen. Bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable. We were very happy. The location was perfect being within walking distance of central Darwin.

I liked the breakfast that was included. There was a good range and the food was plenty for the day. I liked having washing facilities in our room. The fridge size was good. I found the shower to be fantastic except for the drainage. The floor had a bit of a dip so water ended up on the floor outside the shower. I appreciated the bottle of cold water when I arrived as it was very warm. It’s easy to walk into the city and to the wharf area so we didn’t need a car which was useful.

I loved our high level corner 1 bedroom apartment with expansive harbour views and lots of natural light. The apartment was spacious with a large size balcony containing a table and three chairs. The inside lounge area had a coffee table and a lounge suite, with a big wall mounted TV plus a good size desk to work on and charge devices, and a round dining table with three chairs. The kitchenette had a full size fridge, microwave, mini standalone oven, dishwasher, Nespresso machine, and was fully self contained with saucepans, frying pans, bowls, crockery, glassware and cutlery. The bed and pillows were very comfortable with the bedroom at the back of the apartment. The bathroom was on the small side, however very practical with a full size washing machine and clothes dryer. The location was fabulous. Not far to Zen Rooftop Bar, cafes, bars, restaurants, Coles, bottle shops, post office, banks, the Stokes Hill Wharf, convention centre precinct and Darwin's WWII Oil Storage Tunnels were a 10-15 minute walk away. A continental breakfast (which included hard boiled eggs, baked beans and potato gems) was also included in our accommodation price. It was $10 per person to upgrade to a hot breakfast.
