Firstly, they put us in the wrong, cheaper room and argued it was right until we called WOTIF, who corrected it, and they tried to blame a third party for the mistake! Then the cabin we were in had food scraps and filth under the dirty, stained chairs, not to mention the mattress and broken mattress protector had blood and body fluid stains, and the air con didn't work on cool. The plates and cutlery were not a full set, the curtains were broken. The exhaust fan in the bathroom wasn't working, and they could've cleaned the toilet better. I am not usually one to complain, but this had to be mentioned for the price we paid, it was a disgrace!!

Get the electronics fixed.
Electronic door that was not working properly. Spent 10 minutes trying to get out of the room. A/C kept turning off and needed to be reset using the electronic door button. Was not restful as it would become hot, get up reset.

Inconvenient to check in if you arrive after 5PM - in our case, they forgot to email the access code to get room key beforehand. Ants are everywhere in the room. No housekeeping. $20 charge if you don't wash your cups in the room 10-minute to DRW city and airport by car They provided storage for our bigger luggages since we stayed there 2 times and went somewhere else in between

We stayed twice at this property - for 4D3N and we checked out to go to Kakadu National Park for 3D2N and came back to Darwin Resort for 2D1N - they provided storage for our bigger luggages between the stays. The property was nice - most of the rooms were on individual buildings, so it provided privacy, 'chalet-like' stay. However the rooms were crawling with small ants - in the bathroom, even on the beds. Front desk closed at 5PM (or 2PM on Sunday/ public holidays) - they didn't email us the code to the box to get our room key as promised (we have informed them that we would be arriving around 7pm on the 1st stay). Had to call the sister-hotel in the city and fill up some form before they emailed us the code. There was no housekeeping service, there's a notice put in the room that $20 charge will be imposed with we did not clean our cups/ plates. 10-minutes to airport and DRW city. And OK place if you're on a budget but there's no 'resort' to it

The cabin was clean, big, air conditioned. Parking was just next to cabin. Need probably a car for convinence. Community kitchen wasnt the cleanest, would of been convenient if they had stove or air fryer in the cabin.
