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.

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.
