Arriving in Darwin

If you are arriving in Darwin from interstate or overseas, make sure you have short-term accommodation booked (hotel, backpackers) prior to your arrival. This is to ensure your have sufficient time to inspect properties thoroughly before signing a tenancy agreement. 

As all listings are privately owned and managed, we strongly recommend the following: 

  • Do not sign any lease/contract for accommodation without first inspecting the property or understanding the terms. 
  • Do not pay deposits or send money before physically sighting a property or meeting the landlord.
  • Do not ask friends to secure accommodation before you arrive.
  • Do not pay money to someone you don't know.
