Convenient location
Medical stay whilst husband a patient in National Capital Private Hospital. Convenient location, Coles supermarket within 2-3 min drive plus cafes, restaurants. On site restaurant is only for room service. Unit was well appointed, clean, functional, good parking.
Sharron, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, amenities and price!
Perfect for what we needed it for. The space felt homey and spacious. We loved the super comfy beds and modern interior. The balcony was a little lacking in privacy as we were on the ground floor, but the gardens were really lovely and well maintained with lots of colourful flowers, providing a beautiful outlook, as well as a roofed outdoor dining area with BBQ. Unfortunately we had a bit of noise from the patrons in the room above (thumping footsteps and occasionally loud talking late at night). Location was fantastic - quiet and peaceful, but also close to lots of attractions, restaurants and shops. Overall highly recommend and will be back the next time we want to pop down to Canberra!

Regular base for my Canberra escapes
Great quiet location. Less than 10 minutes easy stroll to the cafes and shops of Manuka. Staff always friendly and welcoming. I choose to stay in the serviced apartment section of the accommodation. Id describe it as "cheap and cheerful". The apartment has everything I need for a comfortable stay. Plenty of unallocated parking located around the various apartments. I use this as my regular place to stay when I travel to Canberra several times a year for short escapes from Sydney.
