Having stayed in B&B's for over 30 years we were very pleasantly surprised at the quality of this place for the price asked. The room was delightful, the pool most welcome and our hosts were very accommodating and helpful with advice on a number of matters for us. We have already recommended this place to a number of our family... More

We were looking for accommodation close to family and by chance came across the Sunset Retreat. Having never stayed at a B&B before we were a little hesitant however the experience was brilliant. Simple, excellent (& well priced) accommodation and we're more than happy to recommend them. We will use them again ourselves.

Emailed to request prices. Got email back. Went ahead with booking for a single night's stay. Credit card was immediately charged in error for 4 nights. Called to ask them to fix this. Get told they have a minimum 2 nights stay and I have to find somewhere else. So now they have an empty room and a furious non-customer... More

Management of Palmerston Sunset Retreat was of the understanding your booking was for 4 nights. We were also happy to accommodate your earlier check in at no additional cost. A 50% deposit was taken ( ie 2 Nights accommodation ) and a confirmation emailed sent which is normal booking practice by our Property. 4 nights payment was not transacted. Unfortunately... More

I had the pleasure to stay at this B & B recently, had to stay in Palmerstone for a Police reunion and 50th birthday. My only regret was that I could only stay for 2 nights. Bryan and Jan are just wonderful owners and make you feel so welcome. Great location, quiet, roomy basically everything you could want is provided.... More

We come from a crowded city with hardly any space and wildlife and found Eden to be the perfect getaway for us. We are into nature photography and bird watching and the birdbaths at Eden were an excellent way to photograph some of the common garden birds in the Top End

Thanks to Jan and Brian for a memorable stay, true Territorians, they could not do enough to help with any info we needed. The rooms are decorated beautifully, intact if my suitcase was bigger, the table and bedside lamps may well have gone missing. Set in a cul de sac, there was minimal noise and to my surprise we were... More

What a very nice place to stay, hosts Jan & Brian were friendly and very approachable, was just like a home away from home. The room was comfortable and clean and tastfully furnished. Sitting on the balcony each morning eating breakfast listening to the birds, was a great start to the day. We would definately return to the Palmerston Sunset... More

I had done some B & B before on business, but this was our first time as couple. I was a little apprehensive as to how my wife would find the experience. Oh - but what a great experience it was. The owners (Jan and Brian) were absolutely great hosts. Unobtrusive but always available to attend to any issue, and... More
