Eager to explore Darwin without blowing your budget? Hudson Apartment Hotels has you covered with the best tips for budget travellers from near and far. Keep reading for ideas on how to make the most of your budget for your Northern Territory visit with affordable Darwin accommodation and activities.


Consider Location and Your Must-Sees

Save on transport costs by choosing Darwin accommodation that’s close to the city and everything you want to do there. The closer you are to where you want to be, the less money you will spend on public transport, taxis or rental car expenses. Bonus points for restaurants, shops, parks and attractions within walking distance! The Fannie Bay Foreshore which includes amazing sunset dining is only a 10-minute walk from Hudson Parap. Hudson Parap and Hudson Berrimah are conveniently located close to Darwin’s CBD and airport, giving you easy access to the amazing natural beauty and culture of the Northern Territory. 


Choose an Apartment Hotel with a Kitchen

Something else to think about when looking at Darwin apartment accommodation is whether you’ll mostly be dining in or eating at nearby restaurants. If you select an apartment hotel with a functional kitchen, you can save big by making your own meals wherever possible. This is especially beneficial for longer stays, as you won’t need to eat out every night. Even making your own coffee in your Darwin apartment accommodation can help you save, ensuring a lower-cost trip.


Look for Free and Low-Cost Local Activities

Once you find reasonably priced and fully equipped Darwin accommodation in a good location, it’s time to look for free or inexpensive activities to enjoy. Whether you’re a solo traveller in town for work or a family looking for Northern Territory adventures, Darwin has lots to see and do. From local cafes to parks and tourist sites, there’s plenty of entertainment options that won’t break the bank.

Here are some popular picks for Darwin visitors:

  • East Point Reserve
  • Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory
  • Darwin Waterfront Precinct
  • George Brown Botanic Gardens
  • Mindil Beach Sunset Market
  • Aboriginal Fine Arts Gallery

When planning a trip to Australia's Northern Territory, one of the most important decisions is where to stay. You have traditional motels and hotels, or fully serviced apartments that feel like home. At Hudson Apartment Hotels, we give you the best of both worlds with spacious apartment-style accommodation and hotel amenities. Whether you stay at Hudson Parap or Hudson Berrimah, we are confident you will enjoy yourself and make the most of your time in Darwin. Let’s look through the key considerations when booking apartments for your stay.  Location of Apartments in Darwin The location of your Darwin apartment accommodation matters. How close do you want to be to the airport or the city centre? If you’re visiting family or friends in the area, you may want to be within a short drive or even walking distance of their place. Maybe you need to be somewhere for work or just want to be close to particular restaurants and attractions. Whatever your preferences, make sure you pay attention to the apartment location and proximity to local points of interest. Apartment Size & Layout Another consideration when booking Darwin accommodation is how spacious and functional the apartment layouts are. Hudson Parap and Hudson Berrimah both offer studio, one and two-bedroom apartments to suit solo travellers and groups. If you need a three-bedroom apartment, we also have those available at Hudson Parap. Our popular apartments in Darwin boast separate living, dining and sleeping areas for privacy and comfort. Accommodation Amenities It’s also worth looking into the apartment amenities and affordability so you can better understand how much value you are getting out of your accommodation. A swimming pool is a fabulous amenity in the NT given the year-round heat, while workstations and Wi-Fi are great for business travellers. Fully equipped kitchens and onsite laundry are other top amenities to look for before booking your stay. Book Darwin Accommodation at Hudson Apartment Hotels We hope you will check out Hudson Apartment Hotels and see for yourself why we are a trusted choice for accommodation. Book apartments in Darwin online ahead of your trip to the Northern Territory, and look forward to a memorable time in the Top End.
