About the host
Hosted by Kevin Healy
About Your Hosts: Serena & Kevin
Hi, we’re Serena and Kevin! Based in Canberra, we are a family of four—plus our beloved Lab—with a deep passion for travel, design, and local food. Our experiences abroad have shaped our "Dual Sanctuary" concept: creating a restorative home that perfectly balances shared connection with total privacy.
We are unapologetic about our exacting standards. We personally perform the final inspection of our properties before every check-in to ensure they are spotless. To achieve the premium feel we love, we even hand-iron all bed linens for that crisp, fresh-pressed luxury. We’ve done the work so you can do the relaxing.
The Scene: Dickson & Braddon
We love where we live. You are positioned in the heart of Canberra’s most iconic precincts. Dickson offers a vibrant "urban village" feel with world-class international cuisine, while neighboring Braddon brings a high-energy, artisanal edge.
What we enjoy most is the luxury of choice. You can walk five minutes for an authentic laksa in Dickson or head to Braddon’s Lonsdale Street for craft breweries, boutique shopping, and artisanal coffee. With the Light Rail just moments away, the City Centre and Parliamentary Triangle are essentially an extension of your front door. It’s a neighborhood that hums with energy by day but feels remarkably calm once the sun sets over Mount Ainslie.
We’ve designed this space to be the retreat we look for when we travel. From the premium Nespresso selection to the quiet balcony with a Weber BBQ, every detail is intentional. We’re honored to play a part in your Canberra story—come for the design, stay for the comfort, and leave feeling recharged.

Why they chose this property
We chose this pocket of Canberra for its perfect blend of heritage and modern energy. Positioned between Dickson’s authentic global food scene and Braddon’s artisanal edge, you have the city’s best culture at your doorstep. The area features leafy, walkable streets and the seamless Light Rail, offering a sophisticated vibe that remains remarkably calm once the sun sets.
What We Enjoy Most
The Global Food Trail: We love being minutes from world-class laksa in Dickson and artisanal sourdough in Braddon. For foodies, having two iconic dining strips as our "local" is a dream.
Braddon’s Creative Pulse: Lonsdale Street is the heart of Canberra’s creative scene. We enjoy exploring the boutiques, florists, and microbreweries—it’s the city’s best spot for people-watching and discovery.
The Morning Ritual: A crisp morning with local coffee and the silhouette of Mount Ainslie is the perfect start. It’s a constant reminder that we live in a city designed to breathe.
Zero-Friction Transit: The Light Rail makes the trip between Dickson, Braddon, and the City Centre effortless, letting you enjoy the best of the capital without the hassle of parking.
Ultimately, this location captures Canberra’s unique mix of world-class culture and natural beauty. We’ve designed our home as your private retreat—a place to enjoy the city’s pulse by day and return to a quiet, sun-drenched sanctuary by night. We can’t wait for you to experience our favorite part of the city.

What makes this property unique
What truly sets The Scandi apart is the intentional balance of high-end Nordic design and absolute privacy. In a market of standard rentals, this property stands out through its unique "split-wing" layout and our obsessive attention to the "invisible" details of hospitality.
The "Dual Suite" Advantage
Our floor plan is a rare find in Canberra. By separating the two bedrooms with the central living area, we’ve created two distinct private wings. With a Queen bed in one room and two singles in the other—each with its own bathroom facilities—it allows for a "separate yet together" experience that is perfect for families or groups who value their own space.
Light-Filled Nordic Design
The living room features a 3.6-metre glass panel that floods the space with light and offers unobstructed views of Mount Ainslie. The aesthetic is defined by solid oak furniture, iconic wishbone chairs, and beautiful sheer curtains. For extra guests, the Koala sofa in the lounge effortlessly converts into a comfortable Queen bed.
The Comfort Standard
We’ve spared no effort on sleep. We use sand-colored Lyocell linens for superior breathability and hand-iron them to achieve a crisp, luxury hotel feel. Underfoot, you’ll enjoy the soft texture of natural wool carpets.
Exacting Host Standards
We are obsessed with cleanliness. We personally perform the final inspection before every check-in. We also provide a "home away from home" pantry—fully stocked with fine teas, Nespresso, cereals, sauces, and even small essentials like makeup remover pads, ear buds, and shower caps.
Resort-Style Facilities
Beyond your private balcony and Weber BBQ, you have access to incredible communal spaces: a rooftop pool, a fitness facility, a games room, and a rooftop lounge with stunning views of the Brindabellas. We’ve designed this space to be the high-end, restorative retreat we look for in our own travels.
