STAY IN HOWARD SPRINGS NEAR DARWIN

Updated: 2 days ago

HOWARD SPRINGS

Located about thirty kilometres from the vibrant central area of Darwin, Howard Springs serves as an excellent base for those looking to delve into the many attractions and experiences that the Darwin region has to offer. This charming locale is not only known for its natural beauty but also for its affordability, particularly when it comes to accommodation options. The local caravan park provides a budget-friendly alternative to pricier lodgings found closer to Darwin city. Travellers can enjoy the convenience of camping or parking their caravans in a serene environment, amongst shady palms away from the hustle and bustle of urban life.


TREETOP POSSUMS

Beware a family of possums may descend from the treetops in the night hours to look for food scraps. The inquisitive younger possums may even startle park guests and hop across their lap if sitting outside under the greenery of a cluster of palms. For those seeking a hearty meal the Howard Springs Tavern offers a diverse menu featuring a variety of delicious hotel meals, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors alike.

Accessibility to Darwin is straightforward and convenient, primarily via Tiger Brennan Drive, which is a major thoroughfare leading directly into the city. This well-maintained multi lane road allows for a smooth, scenic drive that typically takes around twenty minutes to reach Darwin City. The ease of transportation makes Howard Springs an ideal spot for day trips, allowing travellers to enjoy the attractions of the city while returning to the tranquillity of their base at the end of the day. The popular Humpty Doo area is further out and is easily reached from Howard Springs.


HOWARD SPRINGS NATURE PARK

Just a short drive of a few kilometres from the local retail shops and the caravan park lies the Howard Springs Nature Park. This natural bushland features a large manmade pond that serves as a habitat for various wildlife, along with a picturesque manmade waterfall that adds to the park's charm. Visitors can find plenty of shaded areas, making it a perfect destination for a leisurely outdoor barbecue with family and friends. The park is equipped with picnic tables and BBQ facilities, encouraging social gatherings in a beautiful natural setting. It’s a place to unwind, enjoy the fresh air, and experience the local flora and fauna.

In addition to its natural attractions, within easy driving distance there are occasionally local events such as car shows and community market gatherings on weekends. These events provide an excellent opportunity for visitors and residents to come together. Whether you're a car enthusiast or simply looking to engage with the local community, these events add a unique charm.
