Nautika at Bayview, Darwin
Staying at this awesome apartment was fabulous. The beds were comfy, location was great and the views superb. We really appreciated the extras of bubbles, bread, milk, butter etc on arrival. It was so lovely not to have to think of it when we arrived. Having a range of brochures available for us ...
