Wonderful stay in Canberra, great well appointed, clean and comfortable townhouse. In a fantastic location close to shops and places to eat. We loved all the little extras, the pool. Great communication with property managers
Wonderfully well appointed apartment in the heart of Canberra CBD. Short walk to amazing cafes, restaurants and shops. The hosts were friendly and helpful.
Thanks for sharing your lovely unit with our technicians. Perfect home away from home for them for a long stay.
Would definitley book here again if we are in the area.

Glad you enjoyed your stay with us Di! Thanks for the lovely review.
Clean and luxurious stay in the heart of the city. Close to all amenities. Perfect accommodation with teenagers due to its central location right next to Canberra Centre, plus the X-box kept them entertained for hours. The massage chair is also a great treat after being out all day. Main bed views out onto Glebe park were really nice to wake up to. Ruth and Alastair are fantastic - always available and respond to queries immediately. We highly recommend and will definitely stay again.
We spent four nights in this lovely apartment, and it was the perfect base for a holiday in Canberra. The apartment is very well appointed with all the mod cons (Netflix, smart clocks, chargers etc). It's right opposite Glebe Park (which has a great playground) and right across the road from Canberra Central for lots of shopping and dining options. Easy to explore everywhere on foot! As an added unexpected bonus, there's an amazing massage chair! Great after a big day of sight seeing. Fully equiped kitchen, and a lovely welcome basket on arrival. Would recommend to anyone looking for comfortable & convenient accommodation in Canberra.

Hi Rachel, thank you for the lovely review. It was a pleasure hosting you and your family. You're welcome back anytime!
We had a group of 8 stay. We had plans for most of our Canberra trip but some of our highlights were the times between when we were in the accommodation. We used the spa and had a lovely time.
The accommodation has great amenities and very nice rooms. It was one of the highlights of our trip.
Beautifully appointed, very spacious townhouse in a tremendous location. The hosts went out of their way to think of everything a guest would need so we wanted for nothing during our wonderful stay. Excellent instructions throughout the entire process made arrival and departure a breeze and overall our stay was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Will be hard to top anything this good again. Definitely coming back.
Perfect location with modern technologies and appliances
We went away for a girls weekend. It was perfect location as only a few hundred metres from everywhere we wanted to go resulting in our small group feeling very safe to walk at night. The apartment was great with living and sleeping being split by the levels and super handy having an ensuite in the master. The new feel of the apartment was beautiful and will definitely stay again!
A wonderful property in a great location. Everything you need for a weekend in Canberra. The hosts were great and efficient in communication. Definitely recommend!

Glad you enjoyed your stay Anna! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend :)
My family and I had a wonderful five days in the apartment. It was spotless on arrival. Ruth was an attentive host who made a special effort to provide everything we needed. We’d definitely stay again.
The loft exceeded our expectations. Beautiful property in a convenient location
Ruth and Alastair were amazing hosts. Everything about the loft was perfect down to even the smallest touches to make sure our family felt comfortable during our stay. We will definitely be booking again for our next visit.
I live in Canberra but wanted to stay somewhere to have a break from my house. This trendy little apartment right in the city was a great little get away and we especially loved the massage chair!

Hi, I'm Ruth! I'm a user researcher living in the capital of Australia, Canberra with my husband, Alastair and our two young children. We love to travel to experience new cultures and food. We are avid escape room explorers and happy to chat about the best escape room experiences in Canberra and the surrounds.
I appreciate hand crafted items plus I like making stuff. I design and make a range of science themed jewellery and accessories under the design label, CrankyBot, that I sell in local handmade designer stalls and markets, as well as our online stall.
Why they chose this property
We love that our gorgeous apartment is located in the heart from the city, with views of Glebe Park. There's two great playgrounds across the street in Glebe Park. Our apartment is also a short walk to a great range of restaurants and shopping, and a short drive to many of the museums and galleries.
What makes this property unique
The Manhattan complex is an up-market, modern development in the heart of Canberra city. It has great high quality facilities, and you can find pretty much anything you need just a short walk away.
