9/10 Wonderful! (1,003 reviews)
Not a 5 star hotel. The food was inedible at the restaurant absolutely disgusting. Terrible service but room service was good. Other restaurants were closed. The swimming pool was very disappointing for a 5 star hotel

A wonderful experience, not to be missed. The Bonsai exhibition is awesome.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Always good to visit, but the waiters were not well trained. Shame about the rain!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Still in its infancy but well worth a visit - Bonsais are fantastic. As the trees mature it will be even better

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

Disappointing and appears to lack trees/plants with a lot of gaps and spaces where trees have died. Vision and foresight not evident. Management needed to improve.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Lovely spot for a walk and cafe is amazing. Gift shop has plenty of quirky gifts. Bonsai display was great.

Telstra Tower featuring a sunset and landscape views

Telstra Tower

Climb to the top of this beloved landmark for unbeatable views of Canberra’s cityscape, plentiful parks, Lake Burley Griffin and the green hinterland beyond.

Telstra Tower
REACHING NEW HEIGHTS … THE TELSTRA TOWER The Telstra Tower is seen all around Canberra but is it worth going there? We thought so. It is something to do just once and perhaps best to pick a day which is clear blue skies, little to no wind and no rain. Located at the top of Black Mountain Reserve, the drive itself is lovely even a bit hairy at times. You see, Canberrians are extremely healthy people, they love their bicycles and that’s great. However, on a windy steep road lined with bush on each side, wildlife, flora and fauna and spectacular views, it’s hard to take note of all these things as you are dodging these healthy but crazy cyclists. At the top, there is plenty of parking and the Telstra Tower stands proud. There is an entry fee and a family ticket is just $17. Once you have paid, head through the turnstiles to the lifts which will take you to the enclosed viewing platform some 870 metres above sea level. There you will discover 360o panoramic views over Canberra and beyond. Another quirky edition is the red vintage post box. There is a café and plenty of seating. If you are feeling adventurous, head up the stairs to the 1st outdoor level with the same views but this time no glass blocking the view and there is another level above that. Only recommended when no rain and slight wind. When we were there, it was an overcast day but it was a nice experience all the same.
