BUG review
The Mandorah Beach Hotel has great value accommodation with a beautiful beachfront setting across the harbour from Darwin. Accommodation is in basic, but spacious, four-bed dorms with en suite bathrooms. It features a large swimming pool, beach volleyball and an area with video games and pool tables. There is also a restaurant with good value meals and a 24-hour bar. It is a very relaxing place to stay. The hostel is best reached by ferry from Cullen Bay in Darwin. The ferry costs $18 return or $55 for a weekly pass.

Well what can i say about mandorah!! Its a beautiful spot where you get up in the morning and watch the dolphins coming round the bay. Lots of great bush walks for those adventourus enough. Steve, andrea and uncle colin are the best as are the kids. It is well worth a visit, i went for one week and stayed for 6 months so it cant be that bad!! Enjoy the tranquility of the bush and the hospitality!!
