Fresh flavours, breezy vibes, and a setting that captures the spirit of the Top End. Welcome to Poolhouse.

Located beside the sparkling central pool and whirlpool at Novotel Darwin Airport Resort, Poolhouse Bar & Kitchen is Darwin’s newest all-day dining destination, where Californian coastal cuisine meets Territory soul.

Whether you’re stopping by for a tropical lunch, sunset drinks, or a relaxed dinner, Poolhouse delivers a vibrant mix of fresh, flavour-packed dishes in a stylish space with both indoor and outdoor seating for up to 170 guests.

Led by our world-travelled Head Chef Loulou, the menu is inspired by global flavours and local favourites. From light and refreshing options like Local Snapper Ceviche, to hearty classics like the Double Smashed Burger, and something sweet like Mango Sorbet, there’s something for every palate and occasion.

More than just a hotel restaurant, Poolhouse was created to bring something different, and loved, to the Top End. Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, casual business lunches, family getaways, or spontaneous catchups with mates, it’s the kind of place where great food meets great company in a relaxed setting.

Whether you're visiting Darwin or calling it home, Poolhouse invites you to dine, unwind, and soak in the tropical atmosphere, no dress codes, no fuss, just flavour and fun.
