Latest Darwin hotel reviews
Helpfulness
We arrived into Darwin and as the Rail Station is a long way out of town we were thrilled to find a courtesy bus waiting for us. Our luggage too was to be delivered to our hotel. Wonderful!
BUT all the luggage was dropped off at the one hotel ...ours...so others had to come and pick it up in town. It is possible that there were some other drop offs but we met many coming to collect their luggage at Mantra Esplanade as they had arrived at their hotels to find their luggage was elsewhere.(had they not listened?)
Now some were elderly and their accommodation a bit far away. What a nightmare.
Unique Suggestions: If you know what happens you can arrange NOT to have your luggage sent to town and make your own arrangements. Or you can come all the way on the courtesy bus and then taxi back to your hotel.
Or check and make sure you know what is happening. We tried to find out for this VT tip and it all seemed a bit vague.

When renting your car for a survival trip, don't forget to include all risks in your insurance coverage. Be sure to be properly insured against all roads or damage risks.
But as each time there is a Big VT meeting, some Virtual Attendee will come by surprise and try to travel (and drink) for free... so to get the best view usually they stick themself on the front window...
Do not drive during a VT meeting or be ready to crash into VA. Quickly you will get many VTourists trapped on windscreen %-)
Unique Suggestions:
Windscreen washing liquid is useless to remove all these VA stucks on the front window... usually some local booze is enough to get rid of them but sometimes not ;-)
Fun Alternatives:
There is no alternative...
