A lovely place

My husband and I had a comfortable, relaxing stay at Lyttle Cook B&B with our dog. The place looked exactly as the photos and was neat as a pin. It was very easy to get around Canberra via car too. I can highly recommend Maryanne's place.

My wife and I had a great stay in Maryanne’s b&b , she was very friendly and accommodating the unit is clean and comfortable.

We would definitely stay again should we travel back to Canberra .

Great Location and Welcoming Host

The studio apartment is well located with all amenities like a pool, parks, bushwalking's, cafes, supermarkets, bike paths and restaurants all within a short walk. We were made to feel very welcome by our host Maryanne. Special extra touches included a croissant for our first breakfast, fresh eggs from her chickens, and a home grown tomato.

Great place to stay!

My two small dogs and I spent four very comfortable nights at Lyttle Cook and were really happy here. Maryanne is a friendly and helpful host, available but not intrusive. The unit is in a great location, quiet, close to local shops, near walking tracks and park for the dogs, and just a 10 minute drive to the museums and galleries I wanted to visit. I would definitely consider staying here again as it had everything I needed. Thanks Maryanne for your hospitality!

Perfect Short Stay with Pets

Maryanne was a wonderful host while we were showing our 2 dogs at Canberra Royal. Her Guesthouse was perfect for what we needed and within 15 minutes of EPIC. Easy communication and check in, and we were given our privacy for the rest of the stay - knowing she was only a text or a doorknock away should we need her. Great sized space for what we needed, lovely set up and everything supplied.

Holiday getaway

Nice accommodation and friendly host, space is smaller than expected but comfortable and quiet. The area itself has a lot of options for places to go and eat would recommend having your own transport though. Great off leash field for dogs and playground for kids as well as a cafe, pizza shop and convenience store all within a 2 minute walk away. Would definitely book it again
