Very Good

This place is well positioned for a trip to Canberra. We spent over a week here, visiting family and friends, and found our 2 bdr villa a very comfortable home away from home.
The villa was stocked well enough for the budget price and staff were very friendly and helpful.
I really enjoyed my stay here. The place was comfortable, clean, and well equipped, and the service was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. I would happily stay here again.
Freshly renovated bathroom with hot shower and good pressure. Basic kitchen with everything we needed. Quiet place with picnic table near our room. Parking a few steps from our room but this made it peaceful.

Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms are comfortable. It is such a great facility, but unfortunately could do with a bit of love. Good for budget accommodation.
Located in a far flung corner of South Canberra without any particular charm, it felt like we were the only people there, aside from the permanent residents in the static caravans. Hugely disappointed by the fact the pool had been drained - this was the reason we had booked here. The room appeared clean, was very basic, but the bed was comfortable and the shower very powerful.

Look, this is basic accommodation at a very reasonable price, but it is clean and spacious with all the basics. It's away from everything, so be prepared to drive to get to anything. On the plus side, it is quiet and it is the way!
Spacious and clean. Quiet environment. Great amenities. Convenient to attractions.

Staff person at reception was really nice. Room was dated but clean. The bed was comfortable. Good Wi-Fi. It was good for one-night and was the cheapest accommodation I could find during Spilt Milk festival.
