Explore the great outdoors at Howard Springs Hunting Reserve, a lovely green space in Darwin. Amble around the area's parks or experience its entertainment choices.
I experienced the Free Spirit Resort both as a guest in a cabin and sharing a caravan with my family. The amenities block on the caravan park were spotless.
The setting of the park is beautiful with most vegetation left in place.
The bistro with life music besides the swimming pool is a real asset.
I also liked the food they serve.
Overall I highly recommend this Resort for both camping and glamping.

Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff - I will definitely stay here again. I have stayed in the centre of Darwin before and am so glad we didn't stay in the city again - the Tropical Resort has it all - and more!

I was there for 9 days and the staff were always friendly and helped out with any requests and answers to questions were always helpful! Facilities were always clean and tidy and is close to buses for getting around, the only downfall although it didn't bother me at all was the proximity to the airfield!

The hotel is in a great location opposite nice bush with a great bistro beside it. Unlike some, it is set well away from the rifle range and has a lift for getting luggage to the upper floors. The service from the staff was always polite, timely and so helpful. It is a 15 minute walk from the airport but they have a nice easy car to pick up and drop off. It was a great peaceful location with a lovely pool and great surroundings!

Kevin at reception was a blast. Made us feel right at home with a quote from Monty Python’s Holy Grail.
Supermarkets and nightlife around.
On-site car parking made moving around Darwin with a rental so easy.
