"First time I've stayed here. Used to live in the area - Great location for arrival and departure in CBR by Car. Right off Hindmarsh Drive which connects directly to the Monaro Hwy/Federal Hwy making for an easy arrival and departure. Kitchen fit out was sufficient to make quick on the go type meals when not dining out at a restaurant. Definitely enough to head some pot noodles, make cereal, toast for brekky. Manuka shops are located a short drive away. Bus service to the city is a short walk...

"Had a two night stay here with my husband to explore Canberra . We did have a hired car to get around . The property was clean, everything we needed was there , could easily stay for longer as the apartment had everything you could possibly need. Staff were very friendly and helpful . The pool was pleasant but certainly only there to cool down and have a swim not for laying around. We would definitely recommend this accommodation to family and friends ."
