Modern new 1-bedroom apartment in Canberra City Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Modern new 1-bedroom apartment in Canberra City, you immediately get that “oh, this is actually nice” feeling. The space feels fresh and thoughtfully designed — not like someone just threw together a rental property and called it a day. It’s one of those places where you can tell the owners actually care about creating a proper home away from home experience, which honestly makes all the difference when you’re traveling.

Prime Location in the Heart of Canberra

The location on Currong Street North is genuinely excellent, and I mean that — couples consistently rate it 9.5 out of 10, which tells you something. You’re right in Canberra City, so you can walk to most of the main attractions without needing to figure out public transport or worry about parking (though they do provide free private parking on-site, which is actually a big deal in the city center). The neighborhood has that perfect balance where it feels urban and connected but not overwhelmingly busy. You know what I mean — you can grab coffee at a decent café in the morning and walk to dinner without it being a whole production.

The Apartment Experience

This four-star apartment really delivers on the “modern” promise in its name. The bedroom is properly sized — not one of those places where you’re squeezing around the bed to get to your suitcase. The living area flows nicely and actually feels like somewhere you’d want to spend time, not just crash for the night. The kitchen is well-equipped enough that you could cook a real meal if you wanted to, though honestly, with all the good food options nearby, you might not need to.

Practical Comforts

What I really appreciate is how they’ve thought through the little things that matter when you’re staying somewhere for more than just a night or two. The room has proper storage space, good lighting for reading, and the kind of setup that lets you actually unpack and settle in. The whole place feels clean and well-maintained — you know how some rentals have that slightly tired feeling? This isn’t one of those. Everything works the way it should, from the Wi-Fi to the air conditioning, which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how often places get the fundamentals wrong.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.1 rating really reflects what you get here — it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but it absolutely nails what most travelers actually want. The location gets an 8.6 from recent guests, and after staying here, I totally get why. You’re close enough to walk to Parliament House, the National Gallery, and Lake Burley Griffin without feeling like you’re right in the middle of tourist central. Plus, having your own space with a proper kitchen and living area gives you that flexibility to do your own thing, whether that’s having a quiet morning with coffee or entertaining friends you might meet along the way. It’s the kind of place that just works.

Reviews of Modern new 1-bedroom apartment in Canberra City

  • Very good – Kim from Australia – 23 June 2025 (8/10)

    Prompt response times by the host.

    What could be improved: Getting the key was a very convoluted process, unpleasant after being on the road and then looking in freezing cold Canberra. Getting out was confusing too.

  • Good location – Tim from Australia – 13 November 2024 (6/10)

    Location was good – easy access to Canberra Centre zcross thd road. Instructions were clear for keys & access. Facilities were good though.

    What could be improved: No GSM in the building, lounge was super uncomfortable, dogs barking. No coffee pods for machine.

  • Stylish apartment but little things could be better – Candice from Australia – 13 June 2023 (8/10)

    Perfect location, walking distance to CBD. A few good cafe just at door step. Apartment is quite new, reasonable size for a family of 4. Kitchen is fully equipped.

    What could be improved: I didn't get check-in instruction until 1.5 hours later than check in time, and I had to remind the host. Small things for improvement, room curtain is a bit out of shape, the lights from walkway could not get blocked completely.

    I would suggest to supply small package of toiletries, so the leftover toiletries can be disposed.

    TV remove is not working well. Only if you really want to watch certain programs, you may find a bit annoying.

  • Good – Glenn from Australia – 9 June 2023 (7/10)

    location was great

    What could be improved: no cups, plates ect

  • Central Comfort – Nicola from Australia – 18 May 2023 (8/10)

    Convenient location for CBD restaurants and shops.Good sized apartment with parking

    What could be improved: Pre arrival access arrangements should be clearer in Booking.com

  • Good Unit but Unpleasant Communications – H from Australia – 5 April 2023 (6/10)

    The location is strategic. Near the CBD, lots of restaurants nearby, and the Canberra Centre shopping mall is just a stone's throw away. The apartment is nice and well-equipped.

    What could be improved: (1) The entrance to the underground parking is not easily found. (2) The power points locations in the unit are not user-friendly. (3) The communication with the owner was extremely annoying. They sent long house rules and requirements. Everything makes you feel like in case of anything, there won't be any help/support provided, but just a series of punishments. The worst thing was, they were sent REPEATEDLY! When you get into the unit, these are again seen at the entry door and fridge! Late checkout is $30 for every 15 mins. Need to leave towels and bath mats in the laundry sink. Need to bring along garbage. Photo proof is required upon key return. The most speechless thing was – she cheekily asked for a 10-star review without even asking how we feel, and in the meantime treated their guests like boarding school students or prisoners. If you don't want to experience all this, better go to a hotel.

  • Great location – Scott from Australia – 22 March 2023 (8/10)

    Great location, very modern, secure parking

    What could be improved: Key pickup was convoluted, someone next door kept slamming their door early morning, bed was way too hard, while the apartment was quite well stocked (coffee etc) there was no milk or sugar, only part of a roll of toilet paper for a two night stay in unit.

  • Great location, not great with a car, too hard to get access. Lots of codes and regulations. – Kerry from Australia – 3 March 2023 (7/10)

    The apartment was very comfortable and close to a large shopping centre which was great.

    What could be improved: The check in and check out arrangements were very convoluted, with long messages from the host. We had a car and there was no where to park while we got the access card from the locked post box. We then had to get up to the apartment and unlock a key box to get the key and fob for the parking. It was all very stressful. I had to send pictures to prove that I had put the key and fob back into to locked box before 10am. I wouldn’t recommend it as a place to stay if you have a car.

  • a convenient location close to all amenities and sightseeing – Darcy from Australia – 22 February 2023 (7/10)

    clean, convenient

    What could be improved: check in/out requirements. parking a bit of an issue.

  • Good – Paul from Australia – 11 December 2022 (7/10)

    Location good

    What could be improved: Blind in bedroom does not block out light coming from outside
