We stayed between Jan - April 2013. We were recommended the Gardens Residence on account of its high standards and the relaxing location and we weren't disappointed. Many of the good things have already been covered by the earlier reviews but we can add a few more that made it stand out. By Dili standards it is not expensive especially... More

We stayed at the Gardens Residence for a little more than three months and absolutely loved the place. It is a cozy and homelike compound. The houses are so lovely surrounded by individual gardens that you don't feel the rush of otherwise urban environment. Inside it is always clean and well-maintained. The staff is amazing. Not only are they friendly... More

I came to a short work in Timor-Leste after leaving Mozambique and I was really glad that I stayed at The Gardens Residence! It is a lovely place to stay in Dili… it is out of the busy area, near the beach, but close enough to cafes and restaurants (you can even go walking to some of them)… I went... More

I stayed in both the 1 and 2 bedroom apartments in the Gardens Residence and they were both very comfortable, clean, private and spacious - the small private garden with table and chairs was truly lovely. The staff was fantastic in accommodating our (we were a group of three) changing needs and stored our excess gear while we were out... More

Thank you for your kind words towards our place and our services. The reality of Dili urban setting is one which most taxis will only know the main big hotels along the busy roads. We have chosen a more secluded place to provide peacefulness for our residents. We are also a boutique tyoe of accommodation, offering exclusive accommodation with only... More

Our family has spent 5 months at the Gardens Residence. It is an oasis in mad Dili. The staff are delightful and will do anything they can to assist you. Our apartment was well appointed and spotless, we had everything we needed to live and work. The pool and garden area is a real bonus for relaxing and entertaining.

What a lovely place. We stayed here with two young kids and felt very comfortable. Our two-bedroom house is relatively spacious, pretty well-equipped, and tastefully decorated, but what has impressed us most is the thoughtfulness and helpfulness of the management and staff. Before we arrived, The Gardens offered to install a gate on our garden (as the swimming pool is... More

We have lived in Timor Leste for four years and stayed a five different places - The Gardens Residence is by far the best. Quality of the rooms is excellent and having our own private garden is a treat at the end of often grueling working days. This is all set within a walled garden compound so it is safe... More

The Gardens is located @ 5km from Dili town centre but within easy walking/taxi distance from many of the more popular cafés, restaurants, bars and shops. I have stayed in a number of apartments/units/hotels around Dili over a two and a half year period but will always rate the Gardens as my favorite. Located within 300m of the beach and... More
