The staff at the Marrakai were wonderful - friendly and extremely helpful. The room, while older, was clean and spacious. Woolworths and Mall are within walking distance, as is the Waterfront and wharf (although it was extremely hot in the middle of the day). We also had an amazing view!

We went to Darwin for a short break and found this amazing apartment to stay in. Marrakai is situated in the city of Darwin, walking distance to most the necessities. Jason (property manager) looked after us and was very accomodating throughoit our stay.

Air conditioning was not working (or barely) - reported on the first day, advised someone would look at it on Monday. Nothing happened. Advised someone would look at it on Tuesday while we were out - nothing happened. Ceiling fans only worked on "flat out" or off - this didn't help the situation at all. Would not recommend at all.

standard inner city apartment really. regular residents were rude which can be understandable when apartments in their block are on Air B&B or rented out to holiday makers. the apartment was very secure. what i didn't like was - kitchen floors were sticky and unclean, the kitchen draws and cupboards were not functional. they had magnetic push lock and open functions which did not work. The apartment had a few cockroaches - i would have expected regular insect treatments, lamps in the living room were broken - not able to be used due to missing and broken electrical chords. front desk service was great checking in however it was absent and did not respond to phone calls when checking out.

For the cost, the apartment was very outdated and old and not worth the price. Air-conditioner kept faulting, rubbish under beds, toilet continually running, balcony banister was loose, which is very dangerous on the 11th floor. TV - not a smart TV, remote hardly worked, fans very loud and seem ready to fall off the ceiling. Pool was nice and kept well cleaned. I would not stay there again.

On the plus side it is a lovely bright and spacious apartment. On the down side it was too unpleasant to sit on the balcony outside due to the noisy aircon unit, the furniture and decor was very outdate and there was way too much junk in all the cupboards and drawers, particularly in the kitchen.

No hot water in the showers, ceiling fan in lounge not working, ridiculous timing on air conditioning that cycled on and off every 3 hrs. Not ideal this time of year and left the unit stifling. Balcony access doors would barely slide open and didn’t seal when you tried to close them. Murder scene across the road 60 mts away, drunken itinerant’s wandering around and in premises making it impossible to walk anywhere after dark. Not for me in the future thanks .

This property was very outdated and certainly not worth the money we paid. The air conditioner didnt work properly and decore was 80's throw back. no free wifi and the lifts felt like they were going to break and let go. The room was not cleaned once in the 6 days we were there. It was directly across road from indigenous community housing and not safe to walk around at night alone. If i could get some money back i would.

Older style with great character and great view
The manager obliged to a very early check in. Our top floor apartment had amazing views of both the Darwin harbour inlet and east point. Older style decor and furnishings gave the unit great character. Very comfortable for a 3 night stay.

Spacious and clean. Furnitures need to get replace as they're old and worn out. Beds are big and ok but feels old. We really like that it's so spacious for family but furnitures needs to go.
