We had a lovely relaxing time at this apartment. The place is sunny with plenty of natural lights and full length windows overlooking the grass and the courtyard. It is beautifully furnished with country charm. We love how it is tucked away in a quiet and secured location yet close to some of the best places Canberra offers. It is well supplied exceeding our expectations.We enjoyed our time very much!

Beautiful apartment and helpful host.

This apartment is one of the best we’ve stayed in. We are both 80 and wanted a comfortable place to stay for a visit to a family member who is unwell. Everything in the apartment was of the highest quality and Helen was most helpful to us. We appreciated the heating being switched on before arrival and the provisions she gave us.

Cozy and relaxing

My family loved going back here after long days out exploring the kid friendly places nearby and the snowy mountains. Place is so warm and inviting I was able to catch up on my much needed zzz's after a busy work week. Complimentary food and drink is a plus too. Would love to get back to it and just stay in for a couple of days walking around the place.

Hi Jay Thanks for your review. Just wondering why you rated overall 4? Is there something we need to do to improve this rating as all your other categories were rate 5. Thanks for any feedback. I realise my rating for you should actually be 5 but it is tricky when clicking on the stars as I must’ve missed the fifth one. Sorry

A Quiet Haven near the Airport

We really enjoyed staying at this Pialligo apartment. Terry and Helen were warm and had a number of little welcoming surprises for us. We were really thankful the apartment had good heating, as it was below zero two nights we stayed. The kitchen facilities, bedroom and lounge area were supurb. higly recommend.

Cozy,comfortable with excellent conditions

Everything was perfect,as described and shown on pictures.Beautifully decorated and furnished unit where I felt totaly relaxed. The kitchen was well equipped,and all necessary cleaning products provided. The Host, Helen, is a top owner, who is there to help with everything.The unit is away from the centre of Canberra, in the middle of a winery,where you can feel relaxed,but at the same time close to the city.Helen, thank you very much for a lovely stay, it was exceptional.
