A little bit of luxury in Darwin

We had a lovely stay at the resort. Our room had a beautiful big king bed and big batgtub and it looked out over the lagoon and the beach. We could watch the sunsets from our balcony. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our little romantic getaway weekend.
