Why it's worth checking out
Stokes Hill Wharf sits on Stokes Hill Road at the Darwin Waterfront, in the heart of the city. With more than 3,000 reviews behind its 4.4 rating, it's a much-loved destination.
The appeal is a historic wharf turned lively waterfront precinct — a great spot for dining, drinks and lovely harbour views, with a rich wartime history and a relaxed, sunset-friendly atmosphere. It's a genuine Darwin highlight, popular for a feed, a stroll or watching the sun go down over the harbour.
Dining, events, opening hours and conditions vary, and conditions change with Darwin's wet and dry seasons. To make the most of your visit, it's worth checking current details before you go, and time it for the famous Top End sunset.
