The open-plan living area seamlessly flows from one room to another. The large, spacious private balcony not only provides stunning views of Woden Valley but also brings natural light and an inspiring atmosphere to the apartment. With two separate bedrooms, one featuring a queen bed and the other a double bed, and a comfortable sofa bed, up to five guests can enjoy their stay in the heart of Canberra. The apartment also includes a private laundry with a washing machine and dryer for added convenience. The spacious kitchen, fully equipped with all essentials, is ready for any meal, from a five-course dinner to a quick cup of noodles. With generous natural lighting and a breakfast bar, it's a wonderful spot for your morning coffee. For an even better experience, take your coffee out to the balcony. Conveniently located across the road from Westfield Woden, you have access to some of the best shopping and dining options. A local recommendation is the Turkish Pide House outside the plaza, which offers exceptional meals. If you prefer staying closer to home, you can enjoy a variety of cafes right at your doorstep, or visit the Southern Cross Club next door. This family-friendly restaurant offers quality food, a playground, a games room, an arcade, and entertainment for adults, including a bar and pokies. Whether you're here for work or play, you'll appreciate this perfectly located home. Points of interest: Westfield Shopping Centre 1km Canberra Hospital 1km Australian War Memorial 12.6km National Museum of Canberra 10.9km Questacon 8.8km Parliament House 8.6km National Zoo & Aquarium 7.2km Note: These distances are approximate and may vary slightly depending on traffic. Neighborhood: Canberra, once thought to be a drizzly gray city, has grown into a vibrant place with much to offer. Explore the Kingston Foreshore for some of the best restaurants and bars in the city, or head to the CBD (known as Civic to locals) for shopping at the newly redesigned Canberra Centre, featuring a range of luxury brands. For nightlife, Civic is the place to be with numerous nightclubs, bars, and pubs. If you're over 18 and enjoy bubble tea, check out Beirut Bunker Bar in Garema Square for a unique twist on boba. For family-friendly activities, Questacon offers a full day of science and fun with its seven floors of interactive exhibits. After a day of exploration, visit the Australian War Memorial to learn about Australian military history. While more solemn than Questacon, it is an unmissable and kid-friendly experience. The Old Bus Depot hosts a weekly market in an industrial space with chic concrete floors and high ceilings, featuring lively stalls with handmade goods. Transit: There are ample public transport options in Canberra, and the apartment is a short walk from the Woden Bus Interchange. Getting around Canberra is easy, whether by car, walking, public transport, or renting an e-scooter. For guests arriving by car, parking is available both on the premises and on the street. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping mall ### Things to do - Arcade/game room ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ## Similar properties ![Reception](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/7000000/6850000/6847500/6847444/5faa4e5e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Abode Woden Phillip - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 8.8 Excellent 1,966 reviews CA $118 CA $129 total includes taxes & fees Oct 12 - Oct 13 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=6847444&PinnedHotelID=6847444&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Breakfast, lunch and dinner served](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/30000/24400/24331/b7390b6c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Crowne Plaza Canberra by IHG Canberra City Centre - Pool - Kids pool - Free WiFi - Restaurant 8.4 Very good 1,006 reviews CA $150 CA $165 total includes taxes & fees Oct 26 - Oct 27 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=24331&PinnedHotelID=24331&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118980000/118972000/118971906/576bdbe5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stylish 2BR Apartment in Kingston Close to Lake Kingston - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-25&endDate=2025-10-26&selected=118971906&PinnedHotelID=118971906&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Balcony](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/5000000/4030000/4027400/4027362/6bcf00d0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Oxley Court Serviced Apartments Griffith - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Parking included 8.6 Excellent 589 reviews CA $147 CA $147 total includes taxes & fees Oct 12 - Oct 13 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=4027362&PinnedHotelID=4027362&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100790000/100784600/100784561/0c85c7ac.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Grand Central Towers Apt | Resort-Style Amenities Phillip - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-25&endDate=2025-10-26&selected=100784561&PinnedHotelID=100784561&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108490000/108489100/108489014/88a594ac.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Urban Apt in Phillip | 9mins to Canberra Hospital Phillip - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-25&endDate=2025-10-26&selected=108489014&PinnedHotelID=108489014&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Billiards](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/330000/329300/329289/f40ec69e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### ibis Styles Canberra Eaglehawk Sutton - Pool - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant 7.2 Good 1,009 reviews CA $106 CA $117 total includes taxes & fees Oct 12 - Oct 13 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=329289&PinnedHotelID=329289&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111840000/111831700/111831624/76a1b9d1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### One or Two rooms in house in O'Connor close to Civic, Dickson and Belconnen!
