“From what I gather, this waterfront property in Darwin certainly balances city access with harbor views. The self-contained apartments appear well-suited to longer stays, especially given the proximity to local supermarkets. It seems wise to request a harbor-facing room, though, to fully appreciate the sunsets and avoid potential noise from nearby backpacker accommodations.”
