Hotel Kurrajong Canberra
A repeat visit for me. Such an historic and stylish hotel. Evokes the early days of the Australian federation and simpler times. The rooms are comfortable, cosy and well-equipped. Accessible to the wider city by the excellent R6 bus service. An enjoyable walk or bike ride to the Parliament building ...

Burbury Hotel & Apartments
Friendly staff and spacious, comfortable rooms, and conveniently located. Sounds from the pipes are quite loud at times and the glass in the shower is poorly cleaned. Other than this, the room is very nice and we enjoyed our stay.
