When is the best time to go to Palmerston?

The best time to visit Palmerston, Australian Capital Territory, is during autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) when the weather is mild and pleasant. During autumn, you'll experience comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 12°C to 20°C, with less humidity than the summer months. This makes it ideal for exploring the local parks, such as the Palmerston District Playing Fields, and enjoying outdoor activities comfortably. The clear skies are also great for a leisurely stroll around the neighbourhood. Spring brings equally agreeable weather, with temperatures between 10°C and 20°C. The gardens and green spaces in Palmerston, like the Gungahlin Lakes Golf Club, are particularly attractive during this season, with flowers in bloom.

"Great price and a nicely sized room with a resort or student village style layout, featuring separate rooms spread across a large property. It wasn’t as bad as some of the negative reviews suggested, although cleanliness could definitely be improved. While it’s not centrally located in Canberra, the city is relatively small, and it’s a convenient option if you’re driving. Overall, I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable, relaxing, and decent place to stay without spending too much."

Meriton Suites Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"We came here for a girls night in! We spent a good 1.5 hours enjoying the pools, spa and sauna, then ordered Uber Eats straight to our Meriton Suites apartment for a cozy dinner night in. The 2/3 bedroom apartment was fantastic - very spacious, and it even had salt and pepper and a coffee pod machine. The next morning we took a 2-minute walk to the Civic Centre for a great breakfast and a shopping spree! This is our second time staying here for a girls night - we love it!"

Deco Hotel

8/10 Good

"We'd be happy to have stayed there for a week (we had a 3 night stay). The amenities and features of the one bedroom apartment met all needs. The washing machine and condensing dryer just what we needed. The outlook of our 6th floor room was very pleasant, so it may pay if it is important to check when booking what aspect and views a room has. There were some signs of minor wear and tear, but not of any consequence or to detract from the rooms. The touch controlled lighting had our interest, but some times seemed to be inconsistent to our touch. OTOH the electrically open/close curtains were appreciated given the height and weight if they were manual. The patio setting was convenient and of an adequate area, unlike others elsewhere. There was a surplus of power points and USB charging outlets, compared to many other places we have stayed at recently. A tip for travellers to Canberra is although Deco has undercover parking available, the cities attractions are accessible without a car. There is a light rail stop nearby, and access to the bus service. Some planning required and expect to walk 100-500m. We ate at the restaurant on 2 nights and were very pleased with the food. The menu choices covered most needs. There are specials which differ according to the day of the week. Generous in portion from our observations of other house guests and well priced. The front desk staff and all were easy to talk to and left a good impression."
