About this property

2BR Penthouse w/ Breathtaking View!

Professionally managed by Canstay.

Welcome to your 2-bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment at Mode 3 in Braddon!

Immerse yourself in the vibrant charm of Canberra’s iconic Lonsdale Street! Our quiet penthouse has uninterrupted views of Mount Ainsley, and is on a lively strip with dining, bars, shopping, and gyms. Access public transport or walk to the CBD easily.

You can access all the property`s amenities throughout your stay. Please read our listing thoroughly to find answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

BEDROOM:
The bedrooms have queen-sized beds topped with professionally cleaned and pressed linen. They also have plenty of wardrobe space for your luggage.

BATHROOM:
The bathroom has a shower and toilet. We provide bath towels, shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper and body wash. You will need to re-stock depending on usage frequency and length of stay.

KITCHEN:
You can use the kitchen if you`re craving a home-cooked meal. While you stay you will have access to:
- fridge/freezer
- stovetop
- microwave
- oven
- crockery and cutlery
- dishwasher

We stock a simple selection of food for breakfast such as milk, coffee and tea. Guests will need to purchase food items for longer stays.

LIVING ROOM:
The living room has a 55` Samsung smart TV, which you can use to access your Netflix and YouTube accounts. Note that we don`t provide Netflix, YouTube, or other online streaming platform subscriptions, so you must use your account. The TV doesn`t have access to local channels.

LAUNDRY AREA:
A washer and dryer are available to use, as well as an iron and ironing board.

PARKING:
The parking garage provides parking space for one car. There is 2.2m height limit.

Check-in details will be sent two days before your arrival. Access codes will be provided 4 hours before check-in to keep your booking secure.

Only 1 guest key set is provided. Please take care not to lose the keys as their replacement will incur a fee. Losing the key set or leaving it inside the apartment will incur a minimum of $355 charge.

I am available mostly through Airbnb messaging but I give privacy to my guests. If there is an urgent issue, you can always call me.

I have been living in Canberra for quite some time now and can help you navigate your way around the local area if you need me. I can also provide tips on the best places to go for food or just to have fun!

The Braddon area on Lonsdale Street is hip and trendy. There are various restaurants, cafes and shops within walking distance of the apartment including a cute corner store and cafe called Bitten just near the building entrance.

My favourite dinner spots include Eighty Six, Lazy Su and Tipsy Bull. The food is decadent and won’t disappoint.

If you’re after coffee or breakfast then I suggest Barrio and Toasted! Or head to Frugii for a post dinner coffee and ice cream.

Best spot for a drink and a dance is a central bar called Hopscotch. For a nice cocktail head to Tipsy Bull to check out their gin selection or Bentspoke to taste the local brew.

You are within walking distance to a variety of shops, restaurants, bars and nightlife but if required Uber and the local bus stops would be easy to navigate around Canberra from this area.

Any violation of our no-party rule will result in a $2000 non-negotiable penalty, in addition to any damages.

Dryer: Please note that the dryer is broken. There is a clothes drying rack available for you to dry your clothes.

Awning: The awning was installed on the outside to block out some sun in summer. It uses a pole that latches onto the blind and brings it down. Remember to keep the pole inside next to the curtain for safety, and always roll the blind back up when leaving to ensure safety.
**Welcome — a few things to know before you arrive**

We want your stay to be seamless and enjoyable from the moment you book. Here`s everything you need to know:

**Booking Confirmation**
Guest verification is required before your reservation is confirmed (a local council requirement). Simply complete the process within 24 hours of booking — it`s quick and straightforward. Bookings not verified within this window may be automatically cancelled.

**Check-In & Check-Out**
- Check-in: from 3:00 PM | Check-out: by 10:00 AM
- Need a little flexibility? Reach out in advance and we`ll do our best to accommodate. Please note that unauthorised late departures incur a $110/hour fee.

**No Smoking | No Pets**
This is a smoke-free and pet-free home throughout. Violations attract a minimum $400 fee plus any additional cleaning costs. Registered service animals are welcome where required by law.

**Leave It as You Found It**
Your cleaning fee covers standard turnover and fresh linen. We simply ask that you leave the space tidy — excessive mess may attract an additional cleaning charge (from $50).

**Registered Guests Only**
Only guests named on the booking may stay. Booking for a team or corporate trip? Just let us know in advance — we`re happy to help.

**No Parties or Events**
This is a quiet residential neighbourhood — please help us respect it. Guest numbers must not exceed those booked, visitors should depart by 10:00 PM, and quiet hours apply after that time. To maintain the serene ambiance of our accommodation, we enforce a strict no-party rule. A non-negotiable penalty of $2000 will be imposed for any violation, in addition to costs for any damages.

**Families Welcome**
Children are warmly welcome! Please note the property is not child-proofed, so supervision is required at all times.

**Bathroom Matters**
We kindly request our guests to refrain from flushing wet wipes, paper towels, or sanitary items. Discarding them in the provided bin would help to prevent blockages in the sewer system, maintaining the pristine condition of the property.
