Canberra Lanyon Homestead Hotels

"Staff, clean room, Close to town but very quiet. "

"Room was clean and updated."

"Lovely flat, clean and as advertised. Hosts were very communicative and accommodating. "

"The place was perfect for our needs. Check-in was easy. The place was clean and even had them come and tidy the room each day, they made the beds and restock us with fresh towels each day. A communal kitchen that is stocked with all that is needed if you wish to cook, if not there is the pub just across the road. Very conveniently situated. The only thing I can fault is the parking. If the Hotel is fully booked you may not get a parking spot within the parking area so you may need to park out on the road."

"Yes great place, great communication very well equipped "

"Wonderful place to stay. The kids had a great time in the playground and pool."

"Clean and tidy and had everything you needed"

"Good property, clean, very tidy, well provided with microwave, small plates, bowls, knives, forks and spoons and tea towel. They even cleaned the bowls and spoons and knives for us each morning which was very nice."

"We stayed for 10 days as a family of four, and were disappointed by the lack of care and follow-through. Only four towels were provided for the entire stay — no spares, no mid-stay replacement, not even basic instructions for requesting more. For a 10-day booking, that’s simply not acceptable.The listing advertised a high chair, which was one of the reasons we chose this property. However, the policies contradicted that and no child amenities were actually provided. If you’re travelling with children, be aware that there is no family support here despite the misleading description.The dishwasher was another issue — it was switched off when we arrived, then leaked all over the floor when we used it. We cleaned up the mess ourselves and reported it immediately. The host acknowledged the problem and said it would be fixed, but nothing happened. There’s visible damage to the floor near the unit, suggesting this wasn’t a new issue, just one they hoped to avoid dealing with.A final detail worth knowing: the yard is not private. This is a shared property, with a family living upstairs who have open access to the garden area including behind the rear-facing bedroom windows. This was not clearly disclosed in the main description and should be flagged more prominently.Overall, this stay felt like a case of style over substance. The essentials weren’t met, guest comfort was an afterthought, and communication lacked follow-through. We left feeling let down and would not stay again"
