For years, Travel Gateway has helped Territorians explore the best of their own backyard, from Kakadu to the Kimberley, Arnhem Land to Alice. We’ve always believed that adventure starts close to home, with stories, landscapes, and people that make the North so unique. Now, we’re taking that same spirit a little further east, across the Gulf, to bring our community something new. Our partnership with The Reef House in Palm Cove marks Travel Gateway’s first Queensland retreat , and we couldn’t have chosen a more fitting place to begin!

If there’s one dish that defines Darwin, it’s laksa. Steaming bowls of spicy, coconut-based broth filled with noodles, seafood or chicken, and topped with fresh herbs have become a staple of the Top End lifestyle. Locals don’t just eat laksa for lunch or dinner — they eat it for breakfast, too. In fact, Darwin has proudly claimed the title of Australia’s Laksa Capital, and every October the city celebrates with the Darwin International Laksa Festival . This year, Travel Gateway is making it even easier to join the fun with the Ministry of Laksa Package — the ultimate way to taste, sip, and explore Darwin.
