My local picks
A few of Ben's favourite spots near the properties.

Hanuman's
Hanuman in Darwin offers a fusion of Thai, Indian, and Nonya cuisines. Signature dishes include Hanuman Oysters and Nonya Pork Rolls.

Have drinks at Charlie's Rooftop
Charlie's of Darwin is one of the CBD's best spots for a sundowner. Head up to the rooftop for house-made gins, well-crafted cocktails and a menu that has something for everyone — the kind of place that's easy to spend a whole evening at.

Take a sunset cruise
There's no better way to see Darwin's wild side than from the water. Experience Darwin's waterways with river cruises on the Adelaide River, offering close encounters with saltwater crocodiles and diverse wildlife.
