This incredible apartment is not the place you want to rent for one night. It’s a place you want to own yourself. The apartment was modern, incredibly well looking and comfortable. The glass wall was the best feature. At least for me. At the end, I was really sad I could not stay longer and enjoy the pool and the gym. If I ever return to Canberra, I’ll make sure to stay here.

New and modern hi-tech apartment in proximity to everything in Canberra. Hosts were great in providing thorough instructions and also checking in to ensure we have everything we need. Good parking garage. Decorated Christmas tree in the living room was a nice touch. Access to an amazing roof top swimming pool next door.

We had an amazing stay at this accommodation! Everything was brand new and sparkling clean, which was a huge plus for us. The location is absolutely perfect - it's within walking distance to almost everything, including great restaurants and shopping centers. We loved being able to explore the area without needing to drive anywhere. But what really made our stay stand out was the host. They were incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The communication was seamless, and they were always happy to help with any questions or requests we had. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the accommodation, from the modern amenities to the cozy decor. It truly felt like a home away from home. We'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a convenient and comfortable stay. Five stars isn't enough - we'd give it ten stars if we could!

Check in was easy! We walked into the apartment with a freshly washed linen smell, super neat and tidy, the very thoughtful host had already arranged for the sofa bed to be set out for our little one and on top, she arranged for various snacks in the kitchen which was a really nice touch as we were starving from all that travelling. Excellent location, 6-7 mins from Canberra centre. Will definitely stay here again if we come to Canberra!
