Great place for live music or lounging at the pool
The pool is fanastic, evne better than the pictures as it says a bunch of seating options, Sun loungers, chairs, comfy couches and lovely cabana style seating. Great live music at the restaurant downstairs and centrally located in Darwin to access the supermarket and beach. Lovely atmosphere and any staff I dealt with were lovely and friendly. Seems like a staple in the community as its always busy in the restaurant and outside seating for the live music. Lively downstairs but once you hit the room its quiet. Love the full size fridge and huge wardrobe for storage.

Great price, but very dated and a few things like the doors need to be replaced. The key entry to the pool and rooms is outdated and problematic for easy access.

Good central location
Very convenient and quiet considering it is a major public venue. Parking was a bit of an issue but worked around it. Friendly reception and bar staff. Would definitely recommend it and stay again.

4/10 Fair

We had read reviews saying that this hotel was noisy because it's also a pub, but since we were arriving from the airport after midnight we thought it would be ok for just one night. The noise from people at the pub didn't stop until after 3am and earplugs didn't do much. The facilities were fine and staff were very friendly but I wouldn't stay there again because of the noise.

The cavenagh is exactly what you pay for. Rooms are small, loud, bright and not clean. It is cheap, central and convenient though.

The staff were great to deal with and very helpful and friendly ❤️. The place is and looks very tiered and in need of renovation all over…also in our room the shower knob kept coming off, the shower curtain is not very effective, let’s out a lot of water, very little storage space…fortunately we were only there for 2 days, so living out of our suitcases wasn’t too bad, but not desirable. Not having a lift is bad. Far too noisy. Food at the Cav pub was great.
