The Bali House - Cullen Bay, Darwin NT

The Bali House is a private, three-bedroom, three-bathroom holiday residence on the Cullen Bay waterfront in Darwin. Listed in Fannie Bay, it offers a distinctly tropical stay with views across the marina and a design shaped by Troppo Architects. The Balinese influence is evident in the open-plan layout, surrounding ponds and established gardens, creating a calm setting that feels separate from the pace of the city while remaining close to it.

The home is arranged for relaxed indoor-outdoor living. Its open-plan kitchen and lounge room are designed to catch the breeze, while the elevated, air-conditioned dining room looks across Cullen Bay and opens onto a veranda with further marina views. A private pool provides a place to cool off, with a north-easterly aspect and afternoon shade. Together, these features give the property a strong sense of space and privacy, with the water and gardens forming much of the backdrop.

Its location is one of the practical advantages of staying here. The house is within walking distance of restaurants, cafes, bars, a health club and a day spa at Cullen Bay Marina. Darwin CBD is described as a two-minute drive away, while Mindil Beach Markets are 1km from the property. Parap Village’s Saturday morning markets are a seven-minute drive, and the Darwin Convention Centre is three minutes away. This makes the house suitable for guests wanting a self-contained base near the marina, as well as groups who need room to settle in together.

The property’s appeal is its combination of generous shared spaces, private outdoor areas and a tranquil tropical setting. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms make it a practical option for a family or small group, while the kitchen, dining room, lounge and veranda provide several places to spend time together. Guests are asked to contact the property directly to discuss requirements and rates.
