Guest MrRoozbahani Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Dear friends, I am planning to come to Northern Territory (NT) soon.Now I need a place to stay for the fist week or weeks. but unfortunately, I have a limited budget. I don't want to spend it for expensive hotels. does anyone know any reasonable place to stay? or does NT government have special accommodation services for new comers? looking forward to hearing replies from you.

Cerberus1 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hi Mohammad Unfortunately, short term accommodation is expensive as it's usually 'holiday' type accommodation. Even cabins on camp sites are expensive. You could try looking for accommodation on stayz.com.au or http://darwin.gumtree.com.au/f-Unit-House-Real-Estate-short-term-W0QQCatIdZ18295 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest siamsusie Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hi Mohammad, You did actually message me personally, and I left you some details on backpacker accomodation. Hope you found it ok. Susie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Pom Queen Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 We have stayed at the Freespirit Caravan Park, they have cabins and I know that they can do cheap accommodation if you stay for a few months, but you would need to email them for prices as the ones on their website are just tourist rates: http://www.darwinfreespiritresort.com.au/?gclid=CMbXh7ub5KgCFU4lpQod5XAXDA There are quite a few backpackers accommodations in Darwin although if you are moving with children I probably wouldn't recommend them.

Guest Julz Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 We stayed in the Quest serviced apartments in Darwin's city centre for 2 weeks when we arrived. Great place to stay, serviced so cleaned every day, has washing machine, cooker, dish washer, fridge, etc. also right in the city centre to close to all amenities.

Guest Dinkytwinkle Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Hi there, If you are coming over to Darwin you should consider booking somewhere in the centre (CBD) for a few days, as you can access everything by bus, hire a car or get taxis easily from there. There are also shops, restaurants, bars and anything else you may need. It's a good place to get started and then when you have gotten used to the layout of the city you can begin looking for an apartment/house/shared flat in an area which is convenient for you. Most of the backpacker accommodation is fairly cheap and will be adequate if you don't mind sharing with others. I recommend Dingo Moon Lodge, as you get breakfast and free laundry, and it's a lovely central place with a pool. You are coming at the peak time for backpackers (dry season) so book ahead to make sure you secure a place. There is also YHA Darwin, Chilli's and Frogshollow backpackers in the centre, prices in the dry season range from around $30 - $40 a night. They are all centred around Mitchell Street in the city. If you don't like sharing with others then a double room will cost around $80 per night in a hostel or cheap motel. There are also serviced apartments but I am unsure of the cost. If you want to look for something more permanent you can look on gumtree or read the NT news (the local newspaper) accommodation section which I believe comes out on a Saturday. A typical house/flatshare will cost between $200 - $300 a week. Australia is expensive! Good luck with your move! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
