BIG4 Howard Springs Holiday Park
Great little van Park with appropriate amenities, stayed here before and will be back. Only complaint and no fault of Big4 is Hotels.com dont pass along contact details so Big4 cant confirm arrival times or even if they have the room available despite a confirmation saying it is booked etc.

Oaks Darwin Elan Hotel
The view from our apartment was outstanding. Room layout good as well. The free breakfast was ok - very basic, but you could upgrade by paying extra. Great location - easy to walk to the Waterfront or to catch the Hop on Hop off bus.
