When is the best time to go to Stirling?

The best time to visit Stirling is during the spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) months, when the weather is mild and pleasant. Spring offers blooming gardens and comfortable temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the Australian Capital Territory. You'll find the local parks and national reserves at their most picturesque during this time, superb for walks or leisurely picnics. Autumn also provides lovely weather with clear skies and cooler temperatures, which are great for outdoor activities without the summer heat. The changing colours of the leaves add to the scenic appeal of the region, especially in areas like the National Arboretum Canberra, which is just a short drive from Stirling. While summer (December to February) can be quite hot, it's still a good time to visit if you plan to enjoy indoor attractions or water-based activities at nearby Lake Burley Griffin.

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, hallway not so much. Water pressure was fantastic and bed was super comfy. Great pillows. Perfect for a no fuss overnight stay."

Madison Capital Executive Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t speak highly enough of this hotel. The price was great. The room was spacious and very clean. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. I had the best nights sleep. The free continental breakfast was really nice and had plenty of choices. You also get free undercover car parking. I’ll definitely be staying here next time I’m in Canberra."

Crowne Plaza Canberra by IHG

8/10 Good

"Check-in very quick & our room ready early plus parking was so handy but there’s a fee which was worth it. Good size rooms, very clean bathroom, comfy beds, lovely view. Staff so good nothing a problem. Great variety on buffet. So close to shopping centre. Only issue was the pool wasn’t clean to swim in."

Forrest Hotel and Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic, budget-friendly family accommodation in Canberra! This was our second stay here, and we liked it so much we have been recommending it to family! We stayed in a two-bedroom apartment for two nights with our family of four, while friends booked a separate apartment in the Blandford complex. The middle courtyard and barbecue area were fantastic for our two families to meet up, have dinner, and enjoy the beautiful gardens. The location is excellent - quiet but central - and served as a perfect base to visit the National Museum, plus Cockington Green and the Reptile Zoo over at Gold Creek. Great prices, free parking, and wonderful amenities for families. We’ll definitely keep coming back!"
