I am available mostly through Airbnb messaging but I give privacy to my guests. If there is an urgent issue, you can always call me.

I have been living in Canberra for quite some time now and can help you navigate your way around the local area if you need me. I can also provide you with tips on the best places to go for food or just to have fun!

The Nishi building has so much to offer. The Makeshift cafe downstairs is not only cool and quirky but has some of the best coffee around. Monster Kitchen and Bar has incredible food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Be sure to book, it’s very popular :)

Parlour Bar is a cosy dining alternative only one minute`s walk away. Located in the historic heritage-listed building that was once Hotel Acton, Parlour offers lunch, dinner, snacks and amazing cocktails, wines and beers. You can dine in or take pre-prepared meals (with wine or beer) back to the apartment to enjoy the amazing lake views.

The Palace Electric Cinema is just downstairs and has everything you need for your movie-watching experience.

Tourist attractions nearby include Questacon, the National Museum, the National Library and Floriade (September to October) which are all within walking distance.

Any violation of our no-party rule will result in a $2000 non-negotiable penalty, in addition to any damages.

Please do not flush wet wipes, paper towels, or sanitary products. These cause blockages in the sewer system. Dispose in the bin provided.

We want your stay to be seamless and enjoyable from the moment you book. Here`s everything you need to know:
