About this property

City apartment with Mountain views - NISHI

Professionally managed by Canstay.

Introducing this environmentally friendly studio in New Acton`s `Nishi` building. Enjoy comfort and style with views of Black Mountain and Telstra Tower. Located near a cinema, art galleries, top cafés, nightlife, and walking distance from ANU and Parliament House.

You have exclusive access to the apartment during your stay. There is a key lockbox for self check-in and check-out, and your own dedicated underground car park is adjacent to lifts, which take you to the 4th floor where the apartment is located.

The Nishi Building has an energy efficiency rating of 8, with a solar passive design, cross ventilation and thermal mass insulation. These features keep the apartment cool in summer without the need for unnatural air conditioning! Even the apartment’s heating is rarely needed, except on those particularly chilly Canberra winter nights.

BEDROOM:
This studio-type apartment has a queen-sized bed topped with fresh linen that is professionally cleaned and pressed for your stay. There is ample wardrobe space for your luggage, including hangers for your clothing (cupboard on both sides of the bed at the front entryway). There is also a ceiling fan provided for your convenience.

Please be mindful of the use of appliances. As much as possible, do not use appliances all at the same as it will cause the power to trip and possible error in usage. :)

BATHROOM:
The bathroom is stocked with complimentary towels, toilet paper, body wash and shampoo.

KITCHEN:
The kitchen is equipped with:
- fridge/freezer
- gas stovetop
- oven
- microwave
- dishwasher
- plates, mugs, glasses, and utensils
- cooking pots and pans
- basic cooking and cleaning items, including salt and pepper, olive oil and dishwashing powder

We stock a simple selection of food for breakfast such as milk, coffee and tea. Guests will need to purchase food items for longer stays.

LIVING ROOM:
The living room has a comfortable couch and an HD LED TV, with Chromecast. It also has access to local channels. The apartment is also equipped with unlimited WIFI via the NBN for quick and easy access to the internet.

LAUNDRY AREA:
The apartment has its own washing machine and dryer, as well as an iron and ironing board.

BALCONY:
A comfortable outdoor setting allows you to sit back and enjoy the amazing panoramic views of Telstra Tower and Black Mountain.

There is a large fireplace in Nishi’s lobby, where you can relax with a good book and a glass of Canberra red.

Check-in details will be sent two days before your arrival. Access codes will be provided 4 hours before check-in to keep your booking secure.

Only 1 guest key set is provided. Please take care not to lose the keys as their replacement will incur a fee. Losing the key set or leaving it inside the apartment will incur a minimum of $355 charge.

I am available mostly through Airbnb messaging but I give privacy to my guests. If there is an urgent issue, you can always call me.

I have been living in Canberra for quite some time now and can help you navigate your way around the local area if you need. I can also provide you with any tips on the best places to go for food or just to have fun!

The Nishi building has so much to offer. The Makeshift cafe downstairs is not only cool and quirky but has some of the best coffee around. Monster Kitchen and Bar has incredible food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Be sure to book, it’s very popular.

Parlour Bar is a cosy dining alternative only one minute`s walk away. Located in the historic heritage-listed building that was once Hotel Acton, Parlour offers lunch, dinner, snacks and amazing cocktails, wines and beers. You can dine in or take pre-prepared meals (with wine or beer) back to the apartment to enjoy the amazing lake views.

The Palace Electric Cinema is just downstairs and has everything you need for your movie watching experience.

Tourist attractions nearby include Questacon, the National Museum, the National Library and Floriade (September to October) which are all within walking distance.

Any violation of our no-party rule will result in a $2000 non-negotiable penalty, in addition to any damages.

Please do not flush wet wipes, paper towels, or sanitary products. These cause blockages in the sewer system. Dispose in the bin provided.

FLOOR NOTE: The floor has whitish marks in some areas. These are not stains or dirt, but a surface layer that is naturally peeling.

Strata Notice: (Weather Permitting: Works may extend without prior Notice)
* Recurring Crane Lift for Nishi Roof Project - Please note that crane operations will occur periodically each month as part of the ongoing roof works. Residents may experience temporary noise or access restrictions during these scheduled lifts.

* EV Charger Installation Work
The Installation of EV Charger will commence on Monday 14 April 2025 onwards. Noisy works will be confined to between the hours of 8am and 12pm on weekdays. The noisy works are not expected to be continuous, with the works mainly involving drilling in the basement to affix cable trays throughout with various location movements throughout the days of work.

Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy
A nice, compact apartment with a lovely veranda seating area with a great view of Black Mountain (though only 3 floors up from a busy street, so a bit noisy). Currently somewhat cutoff from the centre of town by the light rail construction. Check-in awkward for international travellers as it requires internet access on the day of arrival to receive the code. Minor things: the lighting is not great, the options either too bright or too dim (though lots of natural light during the day) and a bedside lamp would be nice. The shower enclosure does a poor job of preventing water spraying on the floor outside.
