9.6/10 Exceptional! (59 reviews)
Our family recently enjoyed a very comfortable 7 night-stay in a 2 bedroom apartment at Elsey on Parap and would happily stay there again. The quiet suburban location is ideal - local shops across the street (including bakery, newsagent, cafes with GREAT coffee, post office, and the weekly Parap Markets) - and easy walking distance to the Darwin Ski Club and Darwin Sailing Club. Things we loved about the accommodation: easy after hours check-in, well-appointed and spotlessly clean, 2 good-sized bedrooms (each with ensuite bathroom), spacious kitchen and living areas, self-contained laundry, ceiling fans in all rooms, balcony overlooking the 15 metre pool, a lift (our apartment was on the 2nd floor), friendly housekeeping staff, and secure off-street parking. Special thanks to Michelle, the lovely on-site manager who was so very welcoming and helpful with information about local eateries and attractions. She really enhanced our stay! 👌😁
