Top 3 Things to Do During the Wet Season in Darwin

Always warm and with plenty to see and do, Darwin is paradise when it comes to holiday destinations for families. Even in the wet season, it’s a great place to visit. In fact, it’s a common misconception that it rains constantly during the green season. When the rain does come, it often brings a welcoming temperature change as well as the unique smells that come when rain and hot earth meet. 


When it comes to great Darwin accommodation, Hudson Apartment Hotels have got the perfect option for you, whether you’re looking for short and long term stays. Here are the top 3 activities we recommend during the wet season.

Crocodylus park

1. See the Crocodiles

Few animals fascinate visitors to the Northern Territory as much as the prehistoric crocodiles. Both saltwater and freshwater crocs are found throughout the rivers and water systems in Darwin. It’s the larger salties, however, that really capture people’s attention. Discover the world’s largest reptiles at a number of places close to our Darwin accommodation during the wet season. 


This includes Crocosaurus Cove, a wildlife park in the centre of Darwin, where you can get real close to crocs in tanks. Crocodylus Park is 15 minutes away from Darwin and is home to over a thousand crocodiles across its extensive grounds. You can also see the beasts in the wild by going on a guided cruise across the Mary River wetlands and floodplain. 


2. Parap Market

The vibrant Parap Markets are held every Saturday from 8am until 2pm, making it the perfect place to visit while you’re at our Parap accommodation. Discover a tantalising array of Asian cuisine, freshly ground coffee, local produce, unique arts and crafts and delicious tropical smoothies.


3. Go for a Swim

Rain isn’t the only way to get wet during Darwin’s warm wet seasons. There are plenty of options close to our Darwin hotel and our Berrimah accommodation. This includes Wave Lagoon, where you can live out your surfer dreams. Those after some water slide action can opt for Leanyer Water Park while those after a more traditional pool experience can try the Nightcliff Pool, packed with old Darwin charm and great views on offer.

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.
