Nice in New Acton – 2bd 2bth Apt

Nice in New Acton – 2bd 2bth Apt Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Nice in New Acton – 2bd 2bth Apt, you immediately get that “oh, this is actually someone’s home” feeling rather than the sterile hotel vibe. The building sits right on Marcus Clarke Street, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better if you tried. I mean, you’re literally in the heart of New Acton — one of Canberra‘s most happening neighborhoods — and everything feels surprisingly accessible from here. The apartment itself has that modern Australian aesthetic without being too flashy about it.

The Space

What really works about this two-bedroom setup is how it actually feels like you have room to breathe. Both bedrooms are properly sized (not those cramped hotel situations where you’re bumping into furniture), and having two full bathrooms is honestly a game-changer when you’re traveling with friends or family. The living area flows nicely into the kitchen, which — and this matters more than you’d think — is actually equipped for real cooking, not just reheating takeout. You know what I appreciated? The little touches that show someone thought about how people actually live in a space for more than just one night.

Location Perks

Here’s where Nice in New Acton really shines — the location scores are through the roof for a reason. You’re walking distance to Lake Burley Griffin, which is perfect for morning runs or just wandering around when you need to clear your head. The National Gallery and other cultural spots are right there, but you’re also close enough to the city center that you don’t feel isolated. Couples seem to particularly love it here (they rate the location 9.5, which is pretty telling), probably because you can easily walk to dinner spots in NewActon or catch a cab into the main dining precincts without the hassle.

Practical Advantages

The free parking situation is actually a big deal in Canberra — trust me on this one. Finding decent parking in New Acton can be a bit of a nightmare, especially during events or busy weekends, so having your own secure spot takes away that stress completely. Recent guests consistently rate the location highly (8.9 out of 10), and after spending time in the area, I get why. You’re positioned perfectly to explore both the cultural side of Canberra and the more relaxed lakeside areas without constantly worrying about transport or parking fees.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back to this place is how it strikes that balance between being centrally located and actually livable. It’s not trying to be fancy — there’s no star rating to live up to — but it delivers on the things that matter when you’re staying somewhere for more than just crashing overnight. The space feels genuine, the location works for pretty much any Canberra itinerary, and you get those practical perks like parking that make your stay smoother. Plus, with that 8.4 rating, you know other travelers are consistently having good experiences here, which honestly counts for a lot when you’re booking sight unseen.

• Clean great for what we need – Keesha from New Zealand – 29 June 2025 (7/10)

  Car-parking, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms
  Washing machine
  
  What could be improved: Needed a few upgrades.
  Hooks or rails to hang towels in the bathrooms
  A folder with information about the unit and area would be helpful.

• Very good – Sree from Australia – 19 April 2025 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Would appreciate to keep more coffee/ Tea items as we had only 2 packets.

• Short stay in Canberra – Lynne from United States – 4 April 2025 (8/10)

  Plenty of space, amazing views, sunny balcony, private parking spaces, nice bathrooms, equipped kitchen and laundry.
  
  What could be improved: Key fob needed 2 people for garage door as buttons do not work. Floor rug badly rucked up and a trip hazard. Windows smeary on inside with handprints. Dishwasher needed attention. Large bed in small room and small beds in large room with ensuite made no sense

• great place close to everything – George from Australia – 23 January 2025 (8/10)

  apartment was in a great position in Canberra, very close to everything.
  
  What could be improved: the cooking utensils supplied were not really suited for use (no spatula and tongs were terrible).

• Very good – Bohdan from Australia – 13 December 2024 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Mattress in main bedroom is very soft

• Superb – Janet from Australia – 5 December 2024 (9/10)

  Wonderful location and plenty of space. Great for 2 friends with comfortable beds.
  
  What could be improved: Pickup of keys was a bit of a hassle.

• Lovely spot, great amenities (apart from the bed). – Kirsten from Australia – 27 November 2024 (8/10)

  The location was great, as were the views, the layout of the apartment, the facilities and the shower – first class water pressure! 🙂
  
  What could be improved: Key pickup at another location was awkward – there must be a better system than this. Also, the bed in the master bedroom needs a new mattress (the current one sags substantially), and there is no place for 100% polyester sheets in any accommodation aiming to offer a five star experience.

• We had a wonderful stay at Nice in New Acton and would certainly recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting Canberr – Heather from Australia – 20 October 2024 (9/10)

  Great location and facilities. Gym included was wonderful. The unit was lovely, clean and very spacious. Secure parking included was excellent. Great location when attending Floriade because it was walking distance from the event.
  
  What could be improved: The key had to be collected at a separate location. If we weren’t travelling by car, this would have been inconvenient.

• Good – Maan from New Zealand – 4 July 2024 (7/10)

  The location was central, and the apartment was modern, with good views and facilities. The beds were comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: You didn't tell us that we had to pick the keys from a doggie place few kilometres away from the apartment. We have been told about picking the keys after we arrived, very unprofessional. There was also a $500 bond that there is no mention about when we booked. We couldn't leave our bags to allow for our afternoon flight etc.. Be more clear and inform customers about what to expect in advance.
  And minor issue, there were only 3 cubs for coffee in an apartment that we booked and paid for four persons.

• Superb – Anne from Australia – 24 May 2024 (9/10)

  Great Location, everything you needed in the apartment, parking easy
