Welcome to Darwin, the Top End of Australia!
Top End Short Stays offers some of Darwin’s best self-contained luxury properties at the Waterfront, with stays from 5 to 90 nights. Last-minute out the next 7 – 14 days, we do offer 3 and 4 night options —check our online calendar for any released availability.
We manage a boutique collection of 12 hand selected high end holiday apartments, including private rentals and our multi-award-winning Darwin Waterfront Luxury Suites. Our focus is simple: high-quality properties, excellent service, and a seamless guest experience.
Post-COVID, our model has changed—no more 3-night stays (unless last-minute) and no staffed showroom. Instead, we operate from a virtual office and provide easy on-site lockbox key collection.
All properties are professionally managed and maintained for a carefree stay. Need something extra—baby items, beach gear, tour info? Just let us know.
Darwin is a top Australian destination—enjoy Mindil Beach Markets, Waterfront restaurants, or a stroll along the Esplanade. Whatever your plans, you’ll love staying with us.
Free underground parking (1 space per apartment, 2.1m height limit). Larger vehicles may need to park a short walk away.
See you soon!
