Guest Reviews
- Paul (10/5): Highly recommend this spot! - Great location and Eli was fantastic to deal with.
- Ellen (9/5): -
- Dean (8/5): Very happy with what we got, clean tidy room with great location and views. - Location was great as was the view, room was nice too, happily stay there again. The check in mainly, had trouble accessing the key.
- Kerry (10/5): -
- Tracey (5/5): I wouldn’t stay there again bed very uncomfortable and bathroom dirty. - Easy access to most things It felt and looked unclean cheap linen on bed bathroom shower area had mould in the tile grout fridge cabinet swollen and dirty. Very disappointed
- Deborah (8/5): Great place, good value for money and super communication - It was so spacious and communication with the host was exceptional. There was a strange odour when I arrived HOWEVER this was sorted out immediately once I spoke with the host.
It was an aroma plug in that was not to my taste. Super easy fix though.
- Alison (9/5): Good value for money and excellent communication with the managers. - The location was excellent. There had obviously been a lot of thought gone into the facilities available. The drug smoking neighbours whose fumes meant we could not use our balcony or open our door.
- Mark (5/5): Disappointed. Certainly not like the photos in their listing. - Close to things Cockroaches
Bath caddy fell off wall in middle of night.
Door handles (both sides) of bathroom door, super loose, didn’t shut the door in case I got trapped in.
Air con unit needs fixing - super loud
Bin lid broken
Window lock broken.
- Anne (9/5): The property met our expectations. - The apartment was in a very central location with a nice view. The host was excellent we had a early check in and late check out which made things easy for us. We had everything we needed for a 5 day stay. The swimming pool was salt water which was terrific and having a washing machine and dryer was excellent. Although the swimming pool was salt water it needed a bit of cleaning.
- Rob (9/5): -
- Eirene (9/5): - Location was central to the Darwin CBD. Amenities were sufficient and comfortable for our stay. The room was located towards the direction of the clubs, but this did not disturb our rest. The check-in process was seamless. Pool towels were also provided as this room is not considered part of the Mantra Pandanas. Not much to fault. The room met our expectations and we would book it again.
- Jenny (10/5): Great location with fantastic views. - Great spot. 180 degree views of water from the balcony. Host was fantastic and very responsive. All was fine.
- DEBRA (8/5): Would definitely return - Good location (within the Mantra Pandanus complex) to explore Darwin and with the option of parking that we opted for after collecting our rental car. Eli was very helpful and prompt with his communication. There were only a couple of sun lounges around the pool and 2 were broken.
- Christina (8/5): A well provided apartment in a perfect location - Eli responded immediately to my query 👍
Location of the apartment is excellent, easy access and short walking distance to CBD and Waterfront attractions. The view is extremely pleasant too, around over the water and headlands. Great sunsets.
Apartment kitchen is well supplied with implements, crockery and cutlery, as well as the usual cleaning and household appliances.
The bathroom is huge as is the shower; great shower head and lots of hot water immediately. Well supplied with soaps and shampoo etc. We did use the washing machine and dryer.
Bed was comfortable and no sagging mattress.
I appreciated the blockout curtains. The heavy sliding doors blocked out street noise. The air-conditioning is very effective.
Security is very good as a swipe card is needed for all access.
There is a very pleasant pool deck (though the pool itself was a little chilly for me at this time of year), and a basic but very welcome gym. Shower cubicle corners need a good scrub. The fan blades need dusting. There were 2 (chocolate?) stains on the wall near the bed.
The balcony needed to be swept and the seat of one of the chairs was torn.
We figured out how to empty the dehumidifier tank when it was full.
At night, we had to put a pillow against the main door to block the light from outside coming under the door.
This last one is outside the owner's control: in the evening when you sit outside, the whine from all the air-conditioning units compressors is not conducive to a peaceful view!
- Michelle (10/5): - Great location and host.
- Bernadette (6/5): Convenient location near shops & harbour. Minimal harbour view - Location The window face right into a huge ugly brown object on top of the next building, which 90% obstructed the advertised ‘harbour view’.
- Joseph (10/5): -
- Jenny (10/5): Apartment with everything and great views. - Very clean and had everything. View is great.
- Tom (9/5): -
- Jackie (9/5): - The Bed sheets absolutely loved them. I need them in my life.
- Jayne (8/5): Pleasant stay in a great city. - Great location and views.
Exceptional communication from Eli (owner)
Everything you could need is in the apartment. A few maintenance issues that need attending to.
- Jennifer (9/5): -
- Travis (8/5): -
- Heather (10/5): - Close to central Darwin. Room very clean and quiet.
- Gemma (8/5): -
- Julie (9/5): Very relaxing - Conveniently located Staying for 2 weeks and had to ask for bed linen to be changed
- Ravi (7/5): Not great value for money - Location The corridor smell of old apartment and was in the apartment as well
- Richard (8/5): Appropriate for our short stay in Darwin - Great location.
Eli was prompt and helpful with requests. Maintenance issue in corridor outside apartment raised with Eli.
- Edith (9/5): - well located more clean
- Holly (9/5): Airbnb not hotel - Clean, Eli had good communication to self check in Within the Mantra Pandanus but not part of it. More of an airbnb than hotel which I was unaware. The Mantra staff there were not helpful at the front desk and charged for anything I was asking.
- Kelly (9/5): We really enjoyed our stay in - The views were amazing, just wish there had been a bit more of a kitchenette in the room with a sink as we had to fill up the kettle and wash glasses in the bathroom sink. Apart from that the apartment was great. needs a sink in the main room.
- Tayla (10/5): -
- shelley (1/5): Absolutely terrible, I do not recommend it to anyone because it was so dirty. - Nothing The whole floor smelled like mould. The "apartment" we booked was supposed to be an upgrade with a spa bath which we paid for but the people gave our booked apartment to someone else so we were stuck in a filthy single room that had sheets on the bed that looked like someone had slept in them the night before, the bed cover had holes in it and stains on it, the mattress protector had yellow stains on it so bad we actually went and brought sheets from big W to sleep in. The knives in the draw were rusted, the pots and microwave were filthy, the bowls in the drawer were covered in dust and had human hair in them, one of the cereal bowls had brown stains all over the inside of it, coffee and sugar were basically thrown onto a counter above a very dirty stove that we couldn't cook on, There were no dishwasher tablets or dish liquid so we could not wash any dishes, only two towels sitting on an rusty towel rack and an almost empty bottle of handwash in the bathroom.Bar fridge had a broken shelf, the floor had spilled food on it. Ironing board with cover on floor, no iron. Internet not working even with the password, and the whole room smelled like mould. To get the key and get to the room was a nightmare as there are only certain lifts that will take you to that floor otherwise you will get stuck in a lift with all your luggage and not know where you are going. Communication between the owner and us was extremely limited and unclear so no explanation on the different lifts or how to get to the apartment, where to find the lock boxes for the keys, (I had to call and get directions on where to find them when we got there).
- John (9/5): -
- Rebecca (9/5): - Location - great
Host was accomodatiolng with a late checkout/baggage storage
Facilities great Bath towels - horrid material / don't dry!
- Thomas (8/5): -
- Kalpins (8/5): - Fire alarm system 3 nights straight in the middle of the night
- Marrie (4/5): I found the host to be quite aggressive in nature. He would not listen and he has accused me of causing damage in a text - Your location is okay No balcony, very limited view if any,, no utensils
- Pieter (9/5): -
- rodney (8/5): Comfortable clean and well located - Very centrally located and as an apartment had all the necessary personal utilities like kitchen laundry and cleaning to stay comfortably. Nothing to dislike really though the property and amenities are ageing.
- MICHAEL (7/5): -
- Marrie (5/5): Disappointed that the staff questions about my visitors when he came to sort out the Wi-Fi for us - Location No utensils
No spoons to make coffee etc
- Courtney (8/5): - Great location, easy walking distance to everything in Darwin City and the waterfront. Nice and quiet rooms. My only suggestion would be to provide an extra couple of towels.
- Gerard (8/5): - Very comfy bed
Very responsive staff
- Alessia (10/5): -
- Rohan (8/5): -
- Jarrad (5/5): -
- Julie (9/5): -
- Jarrad (8/5): Easy owner to deal with location great and close - The cleanliness of the place and location is very good being close to everything in town
- Justin Ofa (8/5): - Plenty of room! Good view of the ocean and the room is clean. The fan in the bathroom didn't work or we just couldn't find the switch
- Marion (7/5): Overnight stay. - Good location. Great help parking car & sorting out the wlfi..Comfortable room. Returning to room at night found cockroches all over bench. In microwave which still had food on plate & in dishwasher .
Needs new towels that smelt.
.
- Brandi Couple (9/5): - The room was excellent and the owner very accommodating when we had a family emergency while staying. The staff at the Mantra reception had no clue about anything we asked and treated you like a leper because you didn't book through them.
- Jenni Metcalfe (4/5): Spacious apartment but not professional cleaned, and noisy if you open the sliding doors - It was spacious Clearly not professionally cleaned...
- Jodie C (10/5): -
- Clarissa (10/5): -
- Darren (8/5): -
- Emma (10/5): Fantastic comfortable stay with a great view - Communication with Eli is amazing. This is the 2nd time we have booked with him and I’m always impressed. I was there for recovery from day surgery and the best was incredibly comfortable and as someone with bright coloured hair it’s always a plus to stay somewhere with dark coloured towel and sheets. We will return again in the future for sure again. Nothing, everything is great
- Taylor (9/5): - Love the hotel close to every the pool was amazing
- Chris (7/5): - Good location, nice views over harbour, Eli Wang was great to deal with Did not realise it was an air BNB until arrival
- Jacqueline (9/5): Great unit for short stay for couples - Views, bed and bathroom were roomy Nothing
- Lilandjohn (10/5): - Good location. Apartment had everything we needed including laundry facilities. Very quiet.
Good instructions for finding the lockbox.
Balcony was great to watch the boats and life going on below. More attention to cleaning. I had to clean fridge shelves.
Synthetic sheets and sweaty smelling pillow.
- Joanne (10/5): Great location, great view and very comfy - Nice and quiet There could be a couple of more towels for when using the pool as the hotel reception wouldn’t provide us with any as we were in a private suite
- Loraine (8/5): -
- Richard (8/5): A good CBD option for business and leisure - Central location
Good views
Comfortable
Helpful staff Aircon noise from adjacent buildings
- William (9/5): -
- Alan (9/5): - Price and location Na
- Rodney (7/5): Good room and walking distance to a lot of things. - The property was in the city so easy access to things. This was really great.
The room was large and comfortable. Eli was more than helpful. Fridge was not serviceable … too small and froze the food. When turned down it leaked. Easy fix needs an upgrade.
- Gary (8/5): Great location, helpful staff - Well located in central Darwin, easy walk to shopping, restaurants and entertainment. Good view of harbour Nothing
- Stephen (9/5): - Eli was very quick to assist me when I was locked out of my room.
- Luis (9/5): -
- Gary (10/5): Great location for central Darwin cbd and Darwin Festival - Location, cleanliness, view, spaciousness Nothing
- greg (2/5): Very Disappointed with cleanliness of the room and owner/managers response. - Position, walking distance to inner city locations It was dirty, obviously only ever gets a quick surface clean. Bathroom particularly dirty and the room was generally dusty.
Wasn’t game to look under the bed
Safe was not working
Difficulty getting access to the parking that we prepaid for the 7 nights
Owner/manager was polite and responded quickly and listened to our concerns but unsatisfactory excuse for state of the room. He refunded one days car park fee after some discussion.

- Peter (8/5): -
- Whiteman (9/5): Great stay - Great views, clean, comfortable Needs to have check out instructions when u get your check-in instructions

- Gerardus (7/5): Eli was very helpful, always responded quickly to text queries, greatly appreciated his extra help. - Location is very central to everything, so easy walk to supermarket, shops, restaurants and bus stop. Unit had some basics like toaster, microwave, cutlery, plates and glasses for 2 people. Plus some tea bags and small milk to get you going on arrival. Pool towels available. Eli accommodated us with early drop off of our cases and similarly when leaving due to late flight out of Darwin. Shower recess could use regrouting and/or deep clean.
- John (8/5): -
- Ina (8/5): -
- Dale (9/5): -
- Shirui (10/5): - The view is great. Nice and clean.

- Maree (7/5): -

- Colleen (10/5): Great value & very comfortable Too short. - Well set out apartment
Everything we needed
Good view
Friendly & obliging host, Eli
- Karl (4/5): great location and view, the host was great with comm's, but if you wanna hot shower, dont stay here - location was excellent, view was excellent, room was great with the balcony NO hot water for a shower, tried repeatedly to get hot water, the host did assist, the one time I got hot water it was too hot to stand under, I tried to turn it down and the hot water was gone again, 2.5 days of mildly warm showers was not good enough, and the bathroom floor floods from the shower. after putting my food and drinks in the fridge, I came back to find the fridge had been set on 6 and everything was frozen solid, all the food went in the bin... for nearly $300p/n I wouldn't stay here again...
- Carmel (6/5): Fabulous apartment if you are happy to stay inside all the time and not open doors and sit on balcony - Great apartment - good facilities Airconditioning unit from next door is very loud 24/7
- Tracey (10/5): Short stay - Location and how easy check-in and check-out was
Will differently book again
- Moya (1/5): Tbh it was terrible and so not worth the money for $800 I’d really expect abit more than that - The bed was comfortable that’s about it :) Very small rooms, was not worth the money we paid for it
Paid for two rooms but it was just two separate apartments with a door opened between which I find pretty ridiculous when we all wanted to be in the same room not walking into rooms
The lights kept turning off on us
The tv kept turning off when we tried watching movies or randomly just turning on through the night
We had no conditioner and just had two bottles that everyone and anyone uses of body wash and shampoo which is so gross u should have little bottles of those that u put out when new people come in
The shower kept flooding and not draining the water
The food at the restaurant downstairs could have been a lot better!
