It was in a quiet, leafy, easy walking area, near to bus stop. A great superette was just 10 minutes walk away. The apartment was spacious, sunny and comfortable with beautiful decor. Full kitchen facilities were provided. It was a home away from home. Thank you to my hosts. Shirley

Just right for our needs

We stayed for 5 nights in this very comfortable and convenient apartment. it is light and bright and very well fitted out with everything we could want. When there was a small problem with the coffee machine, the owner who lives next door fixed it obligingly and quickly. We are very happy with all aspects of this property. We have stayed here before and hope to stay again as we visit Canberra quite often

Ideal Canberra Location

We couldn’t have been happier with this house which had everything we needed and was very quick to heat up when we returned each evening. The location was also better than we had hoped for. We were able to comfortably walk into the city centre but there was also a bus a few minutes away. We will definitely be planning a return trip in the future.

Lovely base to explore Canberra

This felt like a home away from home. We both loved the spacious, comfortable and well equipped small house. The bed was excellent. Thanks Debbie and Tom- the new topper was just the ticket. It was the perfect base to explore the very interesting places in Canberra. (Parliaments old and new, portrait gallery, war museum etc.)

Had a great time in Turner, enjoyed the panoramic windows and all the beautiful artwork. The bed would be more comfy with an extra mattress topper. Cosy and warm overall with all the mod cons.

Another lovely stay at 5A Spencer, thank you!

This was our third stay at Debbie and Tom’s lovely property, close to ANU, which was perfect for our needs, a home away from home. An easy pleasant walk to cafes on Londsdale and, for the more adventurous, in close proximity to the track up Black Mountain if you want an invigorating start to the day! Comfy bed, great shower, well equipped kitchen, relaxing lounge with comfy sofas and fabulous artwork. Love the little touches like the beautiful homegrown flowers, this time a pretty white hydrangea. Wonderful local birdlife, especially thrilled to see a male gang gang cockatoo on our last visit!

What a great place to stay in Canberra

The apartment was spotless and spacious. The bed was really comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. There were heaters in each room which worked really well. The area was close to everything and was very quiet. There was a leafy outlook from each room. The only negative was the towels supplied were very small and thin. Aside from that a perfect stay.

This is our fourth stay at this delightful property - the hosts are marvellous and the setting and proximity to 'everything Canberra', is perfect. Thank you, Deb & Tom, for the extras...the fresh flowers of daphne and jonquils topped off what is always a marvellous place to stay.

Superb!

Exceptionally comfortable, clean, spacious and extremely well appointed accommodation in a quiet street. Centrally located so it was easy to get wherever I needed to go. A short walk to the wonderful O'Connor shops for supplies. I did not meet the hosts but their communication was excellent and I appreciated the privacy this accommodation offers. The artwork is fabulous too! Thank you so much for having me!!
