The property is old but maintened well. The only issue was cockroaches, but hard to manage in Darwin & not unreasonable to see some. Owner/Manager helpful and accommodating. Good value for the price.

for a budget hotel, it was basically OK. close to the city and easy to get to. The unit itself was poorly maintained compared to other hotels I have stayed in. very poor parking facilities, 25 units and only 5 off road spaces. bed was very uncomfortable.

Been told there will be charges for our dogs even though Expedia said no fees, no surprises on arrival. Been told to take our dogs outside of the property to do their business which we respectfully did. Then asked again whilst outside of the property, to take our dogs to the nearest park even though we had poo bags ready on us. Paid cash extending another night and was owed $10 change. And when I said just give it to me later since we see each other everyday, Waited for me to be fully packed, outside of the yard, double checking keys and gate card "were"actually in the Dropbox to return my $10 change. Everywhere was dirty and unpleasant. We had no blankets, very uncomfortable beds and the whole atmosphere was a true let down. We will never stay at the cornucopia "budget" resort ever again.
