Couldn’t get the stove to light. No lighter as back up. Would have felt safer with electric stove. Otherwise comfortable dog friendly cabin.

Hot tub was good, the Sauna especially nice. Room was comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was good - it was good to have poached eggs as one option. The secure parking was ideal.

ibis Styles Canberra
We stayed for one night on our way out of town. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient. Rooms were clean. The bathrooms could do with an update but for the price it was just what you’d expect and need. Breakfast had a good range of hot and cold foods.

Deco Hotel
Location is ok. In between two dining areas. Facilities are new. Parking spot is a bit narrow. Reception wasn’t super efficient, but was ok. Overall ok.
