Nice setting, and comfortable. Communication with property owner is a niggle as it goes via Vrbo/Stayz and it takes a while to get a response. Otherwise, hosts are great! ##### Martin Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Suzanne D. 15 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Travelling to Darwin Pleasant stay ##### Suzanne D. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kasia 14 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication The apartment is very conveniently located close to town and tourist attractions, with beautiful views of the Macdonnell Ranges and The Gap. Excellent WiFi, but limited access to streeming chanels. The front of the property, the balcony and the bath tab look uninviting and neglected. The front security gate broken. ##### Kasia Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mindil Beach Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Darwin-Hotels-Mindil-Beach-Casino-Resort.h43472.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosslea Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Helensburgh-Hotels-Rosslea-Hall-Hotel.h1339968.Hotel-Information) > > [Flamingo Beach Mate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Adeje-Hotels-Flamingo-Beach-Mate.h11058746.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Oklahoma City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oklahoma-City-Hotels.d602972.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Mandalay Picton House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Mandalay-Picton-House-Hotel.h9093425.Hotel-Information) > > [Amadi Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-Amadi-Park-Hotel.h5401199.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Sidcup](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sidcup-Hotels.d179510.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Belvedere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-The-Belvedere-Hotel.h104193.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Warner](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Warner-Hotels.s50-0-d553248635921782950.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Domaine de la Forêt d’Orient, Logis Hôtel, Restaurant, Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rouilly-Sacey-Hotels-Domaine-De-La-Foret-DOrient-NaturHotel-Golf-Spa.h14314.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Mallaig](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mallaig-Hotels.d182803.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Selectum Luxury Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belek-Hotels-Selectum-Luxury-Resort.h17669788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubrovnik-Hotels-Hilton-Imperial-Dubrovnik.h1189851.Hotel-Information) > > [Portrush Adelphi ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portrush-Hotels-Adelphi-Portrush.h4508144.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Svoronata](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Svoronata-Hotels.d6051730.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Harare (HRE) to Windhoek (WDH)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/hre/wdh/harare-to-windhoek) > > [Sky Airlines](https://www.expedia.co.uk/SKY-AIRLINE-Flights.cH2.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Virgin Atlantic Manchester (MAN) to Miami (MIA) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/virgin-atlantic-from-manchester-to-miami-intl/vs/man/mia) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Comiso (CIY)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/ciy/london-to-comiso) ### Activities > [Things to do in Hook Norton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Hook-Norton.d3000011096.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Los Angeles Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles.d178280.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Channel Islands Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Channel-Islands.d6046144.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General
