Great location, would stay again!
Pros:

Great central location in the heart of the city.
The on-site restaurant was convenient and our booking included the continental breakfast which exceeded our expectations (it included scrambled eggs and hash browns).
Our 2 bedroom /2 bathroom apartment enjoyed views from each side of the building and was perfect for 2 couples to share.
We did a few tours and they could collect us from the hotel.

The Oaks on Woods st Darwin
Pros:

Lovely location, central but still fairly quiet. Loved the views! Staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Great food.

Parking was underground and secure. Only negative was that it's a tight squeeze for a large 4wd to exit
