It's a great place to make a short stay in Canberra. Clean and tidy, and some basic foods supplied. I will try to book again when I am back in town.

Comfortable, well-equipped stay in heart of city

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.

Great clean house

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.

Great location and great accommodation

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.

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.

Couldn't have been better.

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.

Canberra in the backyard

We found exactly what we needed for our 4 day visit to the capital - it was 9min from anywhere. Super clean and conveniently located to even walk to the local restaurant scene. Comms where excellent and thorough - all was found as discussed ahead of stay. We shall be back - hopefully soon!

Perfect spot for a tourist in Canberra

We spent five days at the property in September. The property is well set up and very comfortable. It had everything we needed for our stay and was extremely cosy in the chilly Canberra weather we had. The bonus is the location which is walking distance to the city centre and to the vibrant Lonsdale St restaurant precinct. It also has excellent parking and is easily accessible to many of the Canberra attractions - we were able to walk to the War Memorial and leave the car at home. Will definitely stay there again when next in Canberra.

Perfect Stay

I read all the perfect 10/10 reviews and thought, surely a property can't really be worthy of a 10/10. Well, I'm giving it a 10/10! The property was clean, spacious and in a good location. The host was very communicative. The host even provided fresh milk, bread and eggs on arrival; these little touches make all the difference (it's a shame other hosts don't recognise this simple gesture). I would definitely stay here again.

Everything travellers could want

The unit is a single storey, spacious unit situated a short drive from all of Canberra's top sights. Access and parking are excellent. The owner has carefully thought of travellers' needs and very generously supplied everything from flowers and wine to lots of really useful kitchen and bathroom provisions. The unit is well appointed with quality fittings and it is immaculate throughout. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Home comforts

We had a wonderful long weekend stay. Great quiet location. Easy walk to shopping centre or trendy cafes and restaurants. Basic food supplies provided, which was one less thing to worry about. Main bed was very soft. TVs have foxtel. Diffusers in every room, smelling lovely. (They can be easily put away into one of the empty cupboards if you are sensitive to smells.)
