Mom Darwin

AWARDED BEST BACKPACKER ACCOMMODATION IN NT 2026 MOM is a vibrant, adults-only backpacker hostel featuring two swimming pools, an onsite bar and café, and a lively social atmosphere.

Located in the heart of the famous Mitchell Street, we’re just steps from Crocosaurus Cove for those eager to get up close with Darwin’s infamous saltwater crocodiles. Our central location makes exploring the city effortless, with bars, restaurants and nightlife right at your fingertips. You’ll be within walking distance of major hotspots including Mindil Beach sunset markets, the Darwin Waterfront, and the Esplanade. Darwin International Airport is also conveniently less than 12 km away. Please note: We welcome backpackers and group party bookings (such as sporting teams or bucks parties). NT residents cannot be accommodated. Our dormitory rooms are restricted to guests aged 18–40. Bookings that do not meet this requirement may be cancelled in accordance with our terms and conditions.
