Melaleuca on Mitchell

Darwin


If you stay here take note: 24-hour check-in and it's plonked right in the action on Mitchell St. So, sleeping…maybe not. Partying? Oh yes! The highlight is the rooftop island bar and pool area − complete with waterfall spa and big-screen TV. Party heaven! This modern hostel is immaculate with great facilities and it's very secure. Third floor is female only.
