Spent the weekend here with my family, I would definitely recommend staying here. The apartment is so large is it like having two separate units, lots of space and very well finished. Walking distance to Capital Hill which is great.

Thank you! So glad you had a 5-star experience. We’ll be here when you’re ready for your next stay!
Great catch up in Canberra we were a party of six friends. Lots of room enjoyed the terrace very much for morning coffee and sunset drinks sessions. Wonderful big kitchen well stocked with good glassware crockery & serving ware as we mainly self catered. Would recommend for families or groups such as ours.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. So glad you were comfortable! We'd love to have you again, and referrals are always a huge help.
Very clean, excellent communication from host. Perfect location. I was very impressed with the bathroom supplies, not the silly little throw away tubes of hand wash. Check in had quiet a few steps but it all made sense and I recommend watching the very helpful youtube video that was made to help with the check in process. Canberra itself is a lovely city with so many free things to see and do with family. We will be back, absolutely.
