Top Self-Drive Routes from Hudson Apartment Hotels in Darwin

You deserve an amazing trip to the Northern Territory, and Hudson Apartment Hotels is here to make it happen. With Hudson Parap and Hudson Berrimah, our two apartment-style Darwin hotels, we give you easy access to everything NT has to offer. From our accommodation, you can get behind the wheel and enjoy a self-drive adventure to some of the most awe-inspiring Australian landscapes you have to see to believe. Let’s take a look at the most popular driving routes that belong on your bucket list.



Tiwi Islands

You will find the Tiwi Islands 80km north of Darwin, and once you arrive at the ferry landing, you can climb aboard for a memorable cruise to Bathurst Island. The friendly locals are passionate about sharing their Aboriginal culture going back over 60,000 years.


Litchfield National Park

If you’re staying in central Darwin accommodation, you can get to Litchfield National Park in about an hour and a half. If you want to see cascading waterfalls and take a dip in picturesque waterholes, this national park is the place to be. The beautiful vine forests and panoramic views make it truly spectacular.


Kakadu National Park

A self-drive trip to Kakadu National Park will take a few hours, but it’s well worth it considering the breathtaking outback sights and sounds. We recommend the following stops on your Kakadu loop: JimJim Falls, Mamukala Wetlands, Bowali Visitor Centre, Cahills Crossing and the Warradjan Aboriginal Centre.


Mary River Wetlands

Across from Kakadu, you will find the Mary River Wetlands, just shy of two hours from your Darwin hotel. If you want to see Australian wildlife, this is a must-see destination, with birds, buffalo and wallabies all roaming the flood plains. An Adelaide River wetland cruise will bring you up close to jumping crocodiles, too.


Katherine Gorge

A self-drive trip to Katherine Gorge needs at least a full day. The 13 massive gorges were naturally carved throughout history and show off the natural sandstone in all its glory. By the time you get back to your Darwin accommodation after taking in the ancient rock art and natural beauty of Nitmiluk National Park, you will be ready for bed.

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.
