“A pleasant surprise on the fringe of Canberra CBD.”

Not having stayed here previously, we were unsure as to what to expect and were pleasantly surprised. Our one bedroom apartment was spacious, well appointed and bright. The one downside was the need for an electric heater in the bedroom as the very efficient air conditioner had little effect there. This may not be an issue at other times of the year, but there was snow on the Brindabella’s on our first morning in Canberra. Staff were unfailingly helpful and are a credit to the business. We would be happy to stay there again when next we visit the ACT.

“Good hotel alternative in Canberra with great lake views”

A friend and I booked into a two bedroom apartment here for our 2 night weekend stay in Canberra.

A friend and I booked into a two bedroom apartment here for our 2 night weekend stay in Canberra. It is well located, with lots of places to eat near by and everywhere else in Canberra that most people would go to is really only a short drive away. The apartment is very spacious, with two separate bedrooms: one main with an ensuite, the second smaller but still comfortable. Both with balcony access and gorgeous views of Lake Burley Griffin. The main bathroom also has a separate bathtub next to the large shower. The dining and living room also has beautiful views and balcony access with lots of lovely daylight streaming in and there is a fully equipped kitchen if you want to prepare your own food. There is also a full laundry room with washer and dryer in the apartment. There is parking available downstairs at a nominal charge. We actually found this a very comfortable and convenient place to stay. Please note though that this is not a hotel, it is more like a serviced apartment. There appears to be no housekeeping for a short stay, or an onsite restaurant and this did not bother us. This is a good hotel alternative if traveling with a friend and you both would like separate rooms like we did or for a family traveling with kids. The main couch in the living room appears to be a fold out bed too, making the apartment ideal for larger families.

“Good location/view”

4 of us shared an apartment on the 8 th floor/room 803, with amazing views overlooking Lake Burley Griffin & Parliament House.

4 of us shared an apartment on the 8 th floor/room 803, with amazing views overlooking Lake Burley Griffin & Parliament House. Handy location, although at this time lots of road works going on, testing navigation. Overall the apartment accommodated most of our needs, although we were disappointed that the “tea caddy” had not been replenished, * there wasn’t an egg lifter or tongs * no dish cloth or spare rubbish bag * hand cream was empty in main bathroom * no toilet brushes * no broom to sweep floor/carpet stained in lounge room * doona was stained in first bedroom * we thought only 2 face washers for 4 people wasn’t appropriate & an extra towel each for 5 days would have been appreciated. But all in all a good handy apartment, even more so should the above be addressed. Thank you.
