Good match for:

  • Active Solo Travelers: Book a tennis court or join the BBQ garden to stay fit and meet fellow guests.
  • Art & History Buffs: Walk to Parliament House and the National Gallery of Australia for free tours and exhibits.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Late-night Party Seekers: Limited bar hours and a relaxed garden vibe may not suit nightlife hunters.
  • Non-drivers: Key attractions like Lake Burley Griffin are best reached by car or taxi beyond walking range.

We stayed for a few nights and we really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was spacious, modern and with everything you need in the apartment. Manuka village was a short walk and it had everything you need such as a supermarket, pharmacy, cafes and restaurants. The location was a short drive to Canberra CBD and other tourist spots.

This is a low key motel with apartments nearby. It’s extremely well located to the sights of Canberra and has good on site parking.

The kind of room where you can stay focused without feeling drained. The staff were warm and welcoming...

The bedroom was very comfortable with terrific bed-side touch lamps which were great for reading. We would not hesitate to come back and stay. Th...
