Gapyear.com says...
We like this place because it caters for everyone - from the backpacker keen on saving pennies and sleeping in dorms to the traveller who would rather splash out on a little bit more luxury. Their separate motel and backpacker-style rooms mean that you get a wide variety of people staying and enjoying the great facillities at The Cavenagh. Their pool is huge, the bar has a great vibe and it's close to the shopping and clubbing districts too. What more could you want..?
The Cavenagh says...
The Cavenagh offers absolutely the best budget accommodation in Darwin. Located in the heart of the city, The Cavenagh is a stone's throw from the bustling Smith Street Mall, State Square and the city's main shopping and nightclub precinct. So come on in to the Cavenagh and say G'day! Our friendly team will make sure your stay in Darwin will be something to remember!
