Perfectly Located Modern Apartment – Canberra CBD

Perfectly Located Modern Apartment – Canberra CBD Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Perfectly Located Modern Apartment – Canberra CBD on Bunda Street, you immediately get that “I’m in the heart of everything” feeling. The building sits right where you want to be in Canberra’s city center, and honestly, the location alone makes this place worth considering. It’s one of those spots where you can actually walk to most places you’d want to visit — which, let me tell you, is pretty rare in a city where everything usually feels spread out. The modern facade fits right into the urban landscape without trying too hard to stand out.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re literally in the CBD, which means Canberra Centre is just a few minutes’ walk away for shopping and dining. The light rail stops nearby, so getting to places like the Australian War Memorial or Parliament House is actually straightforward. What really surprised me was how quiet it stays despite being so central; Bunda Street has that perfect balance where you’re connected but not constantly dealing with traffic noise. Plus, there’s free private parking on site, which is honestly a game-changer in the city center where parking usually costs a fortune.

The Apartment Experience

The space itself feels genuinely modern without being sterile — you know what I mean? It’s got that clean, contemporary vibe with everything you actually need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is properly equipped (not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation), so you can actually cook if you want to save money or just prefer eating in. The living area gives you room to spread out, which is refreshing after staying in cramped hotel rooms. I particularly appreciated having a proper workspace since so many of us are working remotely these days.

What Makes It Special

What sets this place apart is how it manages to feel like a real home base rather than just somewhere to sleep. The apartment setup means you get privacy and space that you simply don’t find in traditional hotels. You can come and go as you please without walking past a front desk, and there’s something nice about having your own entrance. The modern amenities work seamlessly — good Wi-Fi, reliable heating and cooling, and appliances that actually function properly. It’s clear someone put thought into making this a place where people would genuinely want to spend time.

Why Guests Love It

Couples especially seem to appreciate this spot, and I can see why — there’s something romantic about having your own little urban retreat in the middle of the capital. The combination of prime location and private space creates this perfect setup for exploring Canberra during the day and having a cozy place to return to at night. You’re close enough to walk to dinner at some of the city’s better restaurants, then come back to your own space rather than a generic hotel room. The fact that recent guests consistently rate the location so highly tells you everything you need to know about how well-positioned this place really is.

Reviews of Perfectly Located Modern Apartment – Canberra CBD

• Very good – Robert from Australia – 18 May 2025 (8/10)

  Location was superb and the apartment was very clean and comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: Some small items in the kitchen such as paper towels and a better absorbent sponge would help. It would be easier to clean the place with these items. A box of tissues would also be good to have. Some bedside lamps are also needed.

• We enjoyed the units location and would stay again if the door and mattress issues were rectified – Donna from Australia – 1 July 2024 (7/10)

  Nicely styled 90s decor, clean and comfortable all except the mattress.
  
  What could be improved: The bed mattress is very uncomfortable needs to be replaced. It is hard with no softness and has body depressions in it.
  The bedroom balcony door also whistles air when the wind blows in that direction, along with the traffic noise.
  Cars with loud mufflers woke us numerous times during our 2 nights.
  The checkin and checkout was problematic!
  The keys are collected offsite. Not from a “real estate’ but from a container covered in plastic ivy behind the car wash.

• Terrific. I’d stay there by choice again. – Tony from Australia – 14 June 2024 (8/10)

  The location was perfect for my stay. The facilities were terrific.
  
  What could be improved: This is a minor thing but the bedsheet for the mattress was too small. It kept coming untucked and rumpling up during the night. There needs to be a bigger mattress covering sheet

• Good – Stephen from Australia – 10 May 2024 (7/10)

  Superior central location
  
  What could be improved: 1. Keys collection was not on site requiring travel and difficult to park in busy area.
  2. No Tea Towles
  3. The Bed had only one sheet
  4. Only two bath towels
  5. No baggage storage after check out time

• Superb – Corinne from New Zealand – 2 May 2024 (9/10)

  The apartment is well located and well presented.
  
  What could be improved: The key collection was in a different area to the apartment and it was complicated to find.

• Very nice apartment in an excellent location – Lisa from Australia – 18 March 2024 (8/10)

  The location was excellent and the apartment was clean and spacious
  
  What could be improved: The internet wasn't working at all. It was a little inconvenient to have to collect the key some distance away from the property

• Did what it said on the box – Denise from Australia – 14 January 2024 (8/10)

  Loved the location in the centre of Canberra, perfect for restaurants, bars and shopping.
  The apartment was comfortable and had everything needed.
  It was beautifully clean.
  Great that it had a car park though it was difficult to find once in the garage
  
  What could be improved: On the Friday night it was extremely noisy from souped up cars and motor cycles.
  I should have reported that the vanity basin in the bathroom did not drain well.
  I struggled to find the key place. The address given took me to the Arts Centre

• One of my best Booking.com finds ever! – Lyn from Australia – 4 January 2024 (8/10)

  Beautiful apartment – loved the location, undercover parking, apartment layout, big bedroom with balcony access, gym, swimming pool, speedy response from owners to my questions.
  
  What could be improved: The key Dropbox thing – we didn’t realise you could park next to it down the lane way and circled the block several times trying to find a park. Having said that, the instructions and photos were spot on and hugely helpful!
  Booking.com description needs to be changed to something you can tell an Uber driver – like Manhattan Apartments (North Tower).

• An enjoyable stay in a well appointed apartment in a great location which made for a memorable trip. – Dave from Australia – 8 December 2023 (9/10)

  Building and its location were excellent. The apartment was spacious and extremely well appointed.
  
  So many great restaurants in the near vicinity.
  
  Very comprehensive instructions were provided regarding picking up keys and accessing the building.
  
  The communication from the hosts was first class
  
  What could be improved: The quality of the pillows could be improved, they did not offer my support.
  
  It was a bit difficult to find the location where we needed to pick up the keys. Google Maps took us about a km from where we needed to be.
  
  It was initially a bit difficult to locate the building as Google Maps was not very precise. We were provided with a picture of the building which was taken from the park and the entrance of the building was less obvious from the road when driving, particularly at dusk.

• great location, very confortable – Daniel from Australia – 29 October 2023 (8/10)

  location
  
  What could be improved: keys supposed ot be in mailbox but weren't, had to go elsewhere to pick up
