The Bedford at Braddon – 2BR with Free parking & Wifi

The Bedford at Braddon – 2BR with Free parking & Wifi Overview

First Impressions

Honestly, when I first pulled up to The Bedford at Braddon – 2BR with Free parking & Wifi, I wasn’t expecting much from the exterior — it’s tucked into a quiet residential street that you might miss if you’re not paying attention. But you know what? That’s actually part of its charm. This two-bedroom apartment sits in one of Canberra‘s most happening neighborhoods, and once you’re inside, you realize you’ve stumbled onto something pretty special. The whole setup feels more like staying at a friend’s well-appointed place than a typical hotel experience.

The Braddon Advantage

I mean, let’s talk about Braddon for a second — this area has completely transformed over the past few years. You’re literally a five-minute walk from Lonsdale Street, which is where all the good coffee shops and trendy restaurants have set up shop. The locals weren’t kidding when they said this location gets top marks from guests. I found myself walking to Penny University for morning coffee and hitting up Monster Kitchen and Bar for dinner without even thinking about transport. The light rail station is right there too, so getting into the city center or out to the airport is actually pretty straightforward.

Living Space That Works

The apartment itself surprised me — it’s got this modern, clean aesthetic without feeling sterile. The main room flows nicely into the dining area, and there’s enough space that you don’t feel cramped even if you’re traveling with another couple or family. The kitchen is properly equipped too, not just the bare minimum you usually get. I actually cooked a few meals there because the local markets in Braddon are fantastic, and honestly, it felt good to have that option. Both bedrooms are decent sized, and the master has good natural light — something you don’t always get in apartment-style accommodations.

The Practical Stuff

Here’s what I really appreciated — the free parking is legit, and in Canberra, that’s not something to take for granted. The spot is secure and covered, which saved me from worrying about my car during a particularly rainy stretch. The wifi actually works properly throughout the whole place (I tested it because I had some work to catch up on), and there’s a decent-sized washing machine if you’re staying for more than a few days. The building itself is quiet — I think because it’s mostly residential, so you’re not dealing with the usual hotel corridor noise.

Why Guests Love It

Look, I get why couples rate this place so highly for romantic getaways. There’s something about having your own space in such a vibrant neighborhood that just works. You can grab groceries and cook together, explore the local scene at your own pace, or just hang out on the balcony with a bottle of wine from one of the nearby bottle shops. The whole experience feels more authentic than staying in a standard hotel room in the tourist district. Plus, you’re getting genuine value here — two bedrooms, full amenities, great location, and that parking situation I mentioned. It’s the kind of place where you actually feel like you’re living in Canberra for a few days rather than just passing through.

Hotel in Canberra booking should be done early, especially during sitting periods when the city hosts internationally significant parliamentary sessions and political events.

  Great location with cafes and restaurants a 5 min walk away and fairly quiet around the apartment block. The plumbing was a bit noisy but probably just due to age.

• Very comfortable for a family of four and close to all main sites. – Celeste from Australia – 31 December 2024 (7/10)

  The location was great, the lounge and dining area was very spacious and the beds very comfy. A bonus to have a washing machine too.
  
  What could be improved: It needs quite a bit of maintenance, e.g. the fly screen door and is in need of a deep clean.
