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.

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.

Top Palmerston Hotel Reviews

Burbury Hotel & Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Great apartment, very spacious. Very comfortable beds and pillows. We loved everything. Highly recommend!!"

Crowne Plaza Canberra by IHG

8/10 Good

"we had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and I'd rate the cleanliness 4/5. The location was convenient within walking distance of plenty of shops and restaurants, making it easy to explore the area. The breakfast buffet was a little disappointing. there weren't many options available, so there's definitely room for improvement. The restaurant, however, was excellent. The menu offered a great selection of dishes, and the desserts and cocktails were great!"

Forrest Hotel and Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"My preferred accommodation in Canberra is one of the self contained apartments in the Forrest hotel and apartments complex. The staff are always very friendly and helpful and my last few visits I've been able to request a specific room if it's available. The apartments are spacious, clean and quiet and the complex itself is a very short <10 minute walk to the local Manuka cafe and shopping district where there are many options for dining out or grabbing a quick snack. There's also a Coles supermarket in Manuka if you prefer to self-cater and buy your own food. Will definitely stay here again. Full marks. Ian from Sydney."

Avenue Hotel Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"The Avenue is situated in a very central location to the centre of town and within 10 kms to the major attractions. The hotel staff are very helpful and the cleanliness is of a very high standard. Breakfast is five star and the gym is we well equipped. Beds are comfortable and the rooms quiet and private."
