Mandalay Luxury Stay

Located on Darwin’s Esplanade with sweeping harbour views, this colonial two-storey home is available on an exclusive-use basis for up to six people. Fresh, contemporary décor blends with the eclectic, oriental furniture which embraces the period when the Colonial traders and Chinese settlers established the frontier town of Darwin. The collection of contemporary Australian art – with many local and indigeneous works – adds a further dimension to the home.

Large living spaces on the ground floor include a 42 inch LCD TV, DVD player and surround sound, a spacious dining area and a fully-equipped kitchen (for al fresco dining, there is also a BBQ). Upstairs, all three bedrooms open onto the balcony – the main bedroom features a king-size Kim Snow Box designed bed and an ensuite bathroom. The other two king-size bedrooms (one of which can be configured as two singles) share a bathroom. Expansive verandahs on both floors are perfect for enjoying the balmy evenings – and there is also a swimming pool.

Breakfast provisions are included and, come evening, Darwin’s cafés and restaurants are just a short stroll away – or take advantage of Mandalay’s in-house ‘’mini mart’’ which offers a range of gourmet treats. A 3 night minimum stay applies and children 12 years and under are not catered for.
