While our stay at Luma Luma wasn’t at the height of luxury, it suited us well. We were on a budget and needed somewhere comfortable to stay.
We were confronted by the Darwin heat when we arrived, but the fan and air conditioner in the room helped keep us cool and relaxed. The Luma Luma apartments are well situated in the Darwin CBD, within walking distance of many amenities, landmarks and restaurants.
The beds are really comfortable, and we enjoyed and deep sleep every night. Sheets and towels are able to be changed daily.
There’s a communal pool and BBQ area available, and I enjoyed my swim.
Wifi was only available in the reception area, which wasn’t a problem for us, but may be for others. There were no recycling facilities available in the room, and they may want to rethink their daily use of plastic bags. The fridge froze our milk, butter, fruit, veggies and juice, and may need defrosting. The hot plates looked dodgy, but worked well.
A dirty, used sponge was left under the sink for washing up. We had to buy our own. The TV accessed local channels. Smart TV access would’ve been great. A queen and a single bed have been crammed into the room, but the bed head attached to the wall had not been shifted to accomodate this change, and is just floating randomly on the wall.
Laundry facilities are available for a small fee.
I would recommend Luma Luma to those who need kitchen facilities on their stay (we saved a lot from not buying breakfast) and for those on a budget. If you’re not phased by minor issues like us, this is a great option for you.
