A very nice place on embassy row

This is a very large and nicely equipped house that my group enjoyed. We didn't use the pool as it was winter (July) but the grounds are really well landscaped.

Perfect stay for large groups

We had a very comfortable stay here with a total of 12 people. Very impressed with the size and cleanliness of the place. We loved the artwork and kitchen appliances provided. My only suggestion to make our stay even better would be more bins and boxes of tissues for the bedrooms, more tea towels in the kitchen and hand towels in the bathrooms.

Wonderful property

This is a wonderful hidden gem in Canberra. The property itself is stunning and had everything you needed, close to shops and beautiful walking spots, the neighbourhood is quiet and friendly. Host is responsive and helpful. We were all sad to leave in the end!

The Gallery

Our overall stay was wonderful. The house is huge and the location was great for us. Will was easy to deal with and accessible when needed. Unfortunately the bathroom in the ensuite was a little grimy and could do with an extra clean and the kitchen could be stocked with more glasses and a few little extra condiments for the price you pay to stay. Thank you for having us.

Attractive mid-century house

The property was perfect for our group of 5 couples. A very interesting house in a great location and with plenty of room. Air conditioning was great for a cold weekend. Unfortunately you weren’t permitted to have a drink or walk on the carpet which ruled out using the lounge room, so all our time was spent in the tiled dining room. Also more linen would have been appreciated.

Family catch up

House location and cleanliness was good. It was disappointing that a house that slept 12 only had enough crockery and cutlery for 10. They were 4 wine glasses short and there were no champagne glasses.

The check-in process was smooth and straightforward—clear instructions were provided ahead of time, and getting access to the property was hassle-free. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the essentials, including cookware, utensils, and basic pantry items, which made it easy to prepare meals. Overall, a comfortable and convenient stay!

Family Wedding

Having a family wedding to attend we immediate looked for a place that could house a large group while still allowing for a level of independence. Choices were limited until we found this wonderful property. We could not have been any happier with our stay and created allot of amazing memories HIGHLY Recommended.
