Freshwater Retreat is a recently renovated and beautifully styled property with rolling gardens that features the Wright Residence, an expansive four-bedroom home, and four self-contained tropical villas named Villa Excelsa, Villa Setosa, Villa Maritima and Villa Alba. Located in the most convenient and beautiful part of Darwin just 2 minutes’ drive from the airport, you can land in Darwin and be at this hidden paradise within minutes.
The property sleeps up to 18 people along with multiple outdoor areas for lounging and al fresco dining. We have the option to add additional trundle beds during your stay to cater for children, please contact us for more information regarding sleeping options for children.
Freshwater Estate is the perfect home & location for couples, families, friends or large groups seeking a stylish and comfortable getaway.
Close to restaurants, markets, playgrounds, beaches, walking trails, cafes and bars, and a short walk to the Nightcliff foreshore, it’s got everything at your doorstep. The high-end kitchen and top of the range appliances in the main house make it easy to cater for groups with a choice of indoor or outdoor dining areas.
The main house and the villas are light, bright, and airy, furnished with collectable vintage furniture pieces from around the world from India, China, Germany, Morocco, India, Turkey, Sweden, France and more. They are well equipped with hairdryers, irons, ironing boards and everything else you need to enjoy your stay in a practical and comfortable way.
The main house has two living spaces and outdoor areas designed for indoor-outdoor living. The open plan fully decked out designer kitchen, dining and lounge connects to an outside entertaining area overlooking a large, fenced back yard. The wellness gym located at the side of the house features two spin bikes, a small selection of weights, yoga mats and Pilates' equipment and the laundry has a washer and dryer.
The four self-contained villas are En-suited and have a king bed in each with a kitchenette, toaster, kettle, coffee pod machine and bar fridge with everything you need to prepare breakfast. They also feature a dining table and outside sitting area.
The communal kitchen at the back of the property has a BBQ, large fridge for drinks, microwave, and basic kitchen equipment and amenities for you to utilise for entertaining. Please note the communal kitchen does not have a stove or oven and there is no washer and dryer for guests staying in the villas however, Laundy Plus in Milner is only 2km away. The saltwater pool is located at the back of the property next to the communal kitchen, which guests staying in both the main house and the villas can utilise, so this is a shared space unless you have booked out the entire retreat.
During your stay, explore the magical Top End from the Asian fusion markets, Darwin Waterfront, crocodile experiences and spectacular National Parks and Reserves. It’s the ultimate detox from concrete living to recharge the batteries and enjoy the beautiful tropical climate.
