tip Local Tip

When you stay Rydges, you stay local, and there’s nothing quite like a truly local experience.

While you’re with us, do check out Wave Lagoon, just a short distance from the hotel. This is one of the coolest attractions, with a palm-fringed swimming pool that turns into a tube-riding, boogie-boarding bucket of fun when the waves roll in every 20 minutes. The fully patrolled Wave Lagoon is perfect for families. Banana lounges, beach umbrellas and shady patches of lawn. Aqua Zumba classes every Sunday from 9am are a HUGE hit with tourists and locals alike.

Be sure to tag us on social media @rydgeshotels to share your local experiences with us.

Set across from the boutiques of Smith Street Mall and only minutes from Bicentennial Park and the Esplanade, Crocosaurus Cove and Gardens Golf Course, Rydges Darwin Central holds prime position in a city full of life.

When it comes to things to do in Darwin, guests are spoiled for choice with the Botanic Gardens, World War II sites, Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, renowned Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory all in close proximity. The Waterfront and Wave Lagoon, special recreational opportunities at East Point Reserve, safe year-round saltwater swimming at Lake Alexander, and the ever-popular Fannie Bay Beach are located nearby.

If you’re keen to venture a little further, Rydges Darwin Central is the perfectly placed for those looking to explore the splendour of the Northern Territory. No visit to the Top End is complete without experiencing exquisite landscapes, abundant wildlife and pristine river systems of the Litchfield, Mary River and the World Heritage-listed Kakadu national parks.
