Company Description
Darwin is a city unlike anywhere else in Australia. Stunning harbour sunsets, world class markets, a thriving food and bar scene, and a gateway to some of the country's most extraordinary landscapes including Kakadu, Litchfield and the Tiwi Islands.
It's a place where lifestyle and career can genuinely coexist, and for the right person, it's a sea change worth making. At the heart of it all, Novotel, Mercure and ibis Darwin Airport Resorts are in the middle of an exciting transformation. Airport Development Group has invested $25 million to create a world class destination, with major upgrades across accommodation, dining and events, all set within newly landscaped tropical gardens that capture the spirit of the Top End.
