All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The property was clean and comfortable, and very conveniently located for our holiday stay. The garage was a great bonus that allowed us to store our bikes and rack securely. As other reviews have noted, the host has thoughtfully prepared the place and we found the fridge stocked with milk, etc., so we didn't need to immediately shop for breakfast items.

Lovely house with lots of thoughtful extras which were appreciated. Very well appointed and decorated townhouse. Will definitely stay there again.
Great proximity to central Canberra with easy walking distance to shopping and entertainment facilities. Premises were well stocked with some necessities to get started on.
Our second visit, have stayed in both front and back houses - both very clean, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, hot showers. definitely a great location with ample parking on site. We are not keen on air conditioning so a fan would have been appreciated. Definitely recommend staying in either house.
Fantastic location, very clean and very well kept. Beds were extremely comfortable and loved the extras that were there when we arrived. Very good communication and easy check in & out. A beautiful property that we will certainly rebook when we visit Canberra again.
It’s fantastic place with all amenities if visiting Canberra. The location is perfect and the house was absolutely clean. There were clear instructions and communication from the property manager and it was a very pleasant stay. Definitely recommend booking this if planning to stay near city.
We felt like we were visiting old friends! William was incredibly welcoming and available for anything we needed. His place and space were exactly what we wanted, and accessible to all sorts of food, shopping and entertainment. Transportation was easy, the neighborhood a nice place to stroll. Couldnt have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!!!!
This is an excellent place to stay in Canberra. The attention to detail here is what makes the difference. Things like power boards beside beds are brilliant.The fridge is generously loaded with supplies when you arrive. The parking is simple and you are a 5 minute walk to the centre of Canberra. Loads of towels and blankets are great with super comfy beds. A coffee pod machine comes with a huge supply of Nespresso pods. Fresh flowers complete the picture. All in all a brilliant stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Braddon Sanctuary. The villa unit is well equipped, spacious and comfortable with great off street parking. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the vibrant Lonsdale St or to Civic and even walking distance to the War Memorial. William is a great host, easily contactable and very responsive. This was our second visit and we’ll definately stay there again.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this property. Had everything a family of four needed for a short intercity holiday, and was clean and well maintained. For those with allergies or sensitivity to smells, please be aware that strong fragrances are used throughout in cleaning and decor.
The property was even better than the listing showed. Owners were wonderful to deal with and very accommodating. The little touches made the stay great and the kids (9 & 12) loved it too.
Have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone looking for somewhere nice, and well located, in Canberra.
Wonderful location to the Canberra CBD shopping complex. The little extras were very appreciated. Parking on the property was perfect. House was very close to all the touristy things we wanted to do. William touched base with us to make sure all was going well. Thankyou. Would recommend this property.
We were all very impressed with this place. The extra touches, the location, the contact from the host was great. Flowers, wine, coffee pods for the machine, plenty of loo paper, towels, etc etc etc gave this place a 10.
