If you want privacy, space and luxury, this is much better than a hotel.  Owners are very pleasant to deal with via phone or email, and the self-service check-in is simple.  Very large suite that is both comfortable and practical, and a large balcony with outdoor furniture and a BBQ.  Fully fitted-out kitchen with everything you need, large living area with comfortable lounge, big TV, tons of Foxtel channels, and free WiFi. It even has a washing machine and clothes dryer if you need it.  The free courtesy car was a great way to see the local attractions.  You just need to let them know in advance if you are heading out of the CBD (we did a day trip to Litchfield National Park).  Our 10-day stay in Darwin was very enjoyable, and our choice of accommodation could not have been better.  Highly recommended.
