Well only few have seen one!
Beautiful sunset on Canberra's lake. Nos that much visited by tourists, canberra is well worth it. it was a planned city, build from nothing at the beginning of the century. It is a cyclist paradise, with beautiful cycling lane away from traffic. Cycling round the lake can be a great weekend idea. Jogging or hiking round it can be a fantastic objective too. a bit of an oldy picture so sorry for the pixels!

The spa bath was magical, but unfortunately it wasn’t clean when I switched it on after filling it. Loads of black gunk came out from the jets.

Very comfortable and clean. Great location. Very quiet. Friendly staff. Only 4 minute walk to the Canberra Centre where you can also leave your car overnight. The only negative is the mini bar which was way too expensive. Would definitely stay again.
