1 bed luxury Braddon unit Overview

First Impressions

Walking into the 1 bed luxury Braddon unit, you immediately get that “oh, this is actually nice” feeling — you know, when a place exceeds your expectations without trying too hard. The apartment sits on Mort Street in one of Canberra‘s most happening neighborhoods, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. I mean, Braddon has transformed into this cool pocket of cafes, bars, and local spots that locals actually frequent, not just tourist traps.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about staying in Braddon — you’re genuinely in the thick of things without the chaos of a city center. The apartment earned a 9.0 location rating from recent guests, and after spending time here, I totally get why. You can walk to Lonsdale Street’s restaurant strip in about three minutes, and the city center is close enough that you’re not stuck taking expensive rides everywhere. Plus, there’s free private parking on site, which honestly saves you both money and the headache of circling blocks looking for a spot (anyone who’s driven around Canberra knows this is gold).

The Space

The one-bedroom setup works really well — it’s not trying to be something it’s not, just a well-designed space that feels like home. The living area flows naturally into the kitchen, and there’s enough room to actually spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. What struck me was how thoughtfully everything was arranged; you’ve got proper counter space for cooking, decent storage, and windows that let in good natural light. The bedroom feels separate enough that you’re not sleeping next to your suitcase and yesterday’s coffee cups.

Practical Perks

You know what makes a difference when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night or two? Having a proper kitchen and laundry facilities. The 1 bed upscale Braddon unit gets this right — you can actually cook a decent meal instead of eating out every single time, and there’s a washing machine so you don’t have to pack three weeks’ worth of clothes. The wifi works well (I tested it extensively, obviously), and the whole place feels clean and well-maintained without being sterile.

Why Guests Love It

With an 8.4 overall rating and couples giving the location an impressive 8.6, this place clearly hits the sweet spot for travelers who want to experience Canberra like a local rather than a tourist. The combination of being in trendy Braddon with easy access to the rest of the city, plus having your own space with all the essentials, makes it work for both quick business trips and longer stays. It’s not flashy or over-the-top — it’s just a solid, comfortable base that lets you focus on exploring the city instead of dealing with accommodation hassles.

Exploring Canberra offers visitors an unforgettable journey through Australia’s capital, from its carefully planned layout to its national institutions and world-renowned connections to Australian democracy and culture.

Reviews of 1 bed luxury Braddon unit

  • Overall I liked the unit. It was in a great location, and I loved the underground secure car park. – Jill from Australia – 20 June 2025 (8/10)

    Loved the location of this unit. It was clean and safe with underground parking. It was a quiet spot for a good location. Would be very nice in spring and summer when you can open windows. Nice light and outlook.

    What could be improved: Although there was a wifi code and password, the wifi could not be accessed and when I sent a message to my contact about accessing the internet, I could not get in touch, nor did they answer my messages. The building halls had a funny smell, but the unit was fine. Also the lockbox I got the keys from had an extremely hard lockbox inside the first lockbox. It was hard to see the code and very hard to access for me anyway. If I’m being picky the white towels were not a good standard or all that white, so I would bring my own towel next time.

  • Very good – Kerry from Australia – 10 June 2025 (8/10)

    Fantastic location for restaurants, bars and shopping. Car parking was essential.

    What could be improved: We were only provided with 2 bath towels and no hand towel and no face washers for a one week stay. The couch was a bit uncomfortable but ok.

  • Exceptional – Shibu from Australia – 13 April 2025 (10/10)

    Very clean. Very well maintained. Highly recommend, large spacious bed, lots of space

  • The place was dirty management don't care. Its all about doing things on the cheap. – Wharton from Australia – 11 March 2025 (1/10)

    The location was okay.

    What could be improved: The sheets on the bed had not been changed from the previous people who stayed there. they had a blood stain and other bodily stains on them they were filthy. We complained to the host who asked the cleaners to change the sheets. The cleaners gave us an old, stained sheet and an old torn doona cover as replacements. When we showed pictures of these to the host management, we were finally given clean linen which we had to put on the bed ourselves. Everything is done on the cheap. From spot cleans to watered down liquid soap in the bathroom to no milk in fridge to no brand coffee. The balcony had spider webs have had been there a long time, it had not been cleaned. The place needs to be inspected more often by management as the cleaners are not doing their job.

  • Very good – Andrew from Australia – 27 February 2025 (8/10)

    Only complaint is the curtains allow the morning sun in very early. The Bedroom small window has no curtain or blind at all.
