THE Lake Bennett Resort has reopened today, more than three years after the beloved Darwin rural area hotel was shuttered.

Director Andrew Gunn said the resort had undergone a complete facelift over the past few months, including upgrades to all the rooms, the kitchen and the pool.

He said the resort’s phones had been “running hot” with people keen to stay, and its rooms were already booked out for several days next month.

“I think everyone’s just excited that there’s some tender loving care that’s been put back into the property and it’s open for people to enjoy, because so many people have great memories of the place,” he said.

Lake Bennett Resort was a popular Darwin holiday spot for more than two decades before it was forced to close in 2018.
