Welcome to Ochre Tide
Top End warmth, framed by the harbour.
Ochre Tide imagines a calm address near Darwin Waterfront. Ochre-toned stone, teak, warm copper and shaded courtyards echo the Top End’s tropical light and coastal landscape.
Begin with coffee along the waterfront, explore the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory or watch sunset at Mindil Beach, then return for a wellness ritual, Territory dining and an unhurried evening in the lounge.
