there is a lack of "Romantic Style" accom at the 5 star level.
October the prices will be less as the busy tourist season is finished.
The hotels you mention are all in the Darwin CBD area.
Most restaurants are on Mitchell Street.
Accom - The Skycity Casino offers more classy rooms with alot of options so suggest you contact their reception. Its not in the CBD however is the only hotel on the beach and offers really good buffet dinners and breakfasts that are "inexpensive".
Palms City Resort has exec Bungalows with your own private outdoor spa, mini BBQ - definatley not 5* & the rooms are small. However it is on the esplanade - walking distance to Restuarants, they do offer a breakfast buffet, a small mostly ground level hotel with lovely Gardens. Could be an option if you didnt want to spend alot.
Another option is "Feathers Sanctuary" in the suburb of Jingili - near the airport. Its a B & B. You would have to drive to restuarants.
