Ideal Canberra Location
We couldn’t have been happier with this house which had everything we needed and was very quick to heat up when we returned each evening. The location was also better than we had hoped for. We were able to comfortably walk into the city centre but there was also a bus a few minutes away. We will definitely be planning a return trip in the future.

Very well appointed - we lacked for nothing. Lovely art work and glass work, and wonderful garden outlook. Close to shops, restaurants and perfect as a parent get away to celebrate an ANU graduation.

Lovely base to explore Canberra
This felt like a home away from home. We both loved the spacious, comfortable and well equipped small house. The bed was excellent. Thanks Debbie and Tom- the new topper was just the ticket. It was the perfect base to explore the very interesting places in Canberra. (Parliaments old and new, portrait gallery, war museum etc.)

Had a great time in Turner, enjoyed the panoramic windows and all the beautiful artwork. The bed would be more comfy with an extra mattress topper. Cosy and warm overall with all the mod cons.

Thoroughly enjoyed our 8 day stay in this lovely apartment. Everything was well appointed and comfortable . Particularly enjoyed our early mornings soaking up the sunshine that pours thru the expanse of windows looking out onto the tree lined garden and street. Wonderful.

Another lovely stay at 5A Spencer, thank you!
This was our third stay at Debbie and Tom’s lovely property, close to ANU, which was perfect for our needs, a home away from home. An easy pleasant walk to cafes on Londsdale and, for the more adventurous, in close proximity to the track up Black Mountain if you want an invigorating start to the day! Comfy bed, great shower, well equipped kitchen, relaxing lounge with comfy sofas and fabulous artwork. Love the little touches like the beautiful homegrown flowers, this time a pretty white hydrangea. Wonderful local birdlife, especially thrilled to see a male gang gang cockatoo on our last visit!

What a great place to stay in Canberra
The apartment was spotless and spacious. The bed was really comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. There were heaters in each room which worked really well. The area was close to everything and was very quiet. There was a leafy outlook from each room. The only negative was the towels supplied were very small and thin. Aside from that a perfect stay.

Delightful Getaway
This is our fourth stay at this delightful property - the hosts are marvellous and the setting and proximity to 'everything Canberra', is perfect. Thank you, Deb & Tom, for the extras...the fresh flowers of daphne and jonquils topped off what is always a marvellous place to stay.

Superb!
Exceptionally comfortable, clean, spacious and extremely well appointed accommodation in a quiet street. Centrally located so it was easy to get wherever I needed to go. A short walk to the wonderful O'Connor shops for supplies. I did not meet the hosts but their communication was excellent and I appreciated the privacy this accommodation offers. The artwork is fabulous too! Thank you so much for having me!!

Spacious and Beautiful
Our hosts were easy to communicate with and very helpful. A few treats left in the kitchen were a lovely added touch! The home is in a very quiet location, but only a short walk to busses and good restaurants a little further on. The home is very comfortable and spacious, and beautifully decorated with aboriginal paintings and wonderful pieces of glass. We would definitely recommend!

As always, an absolutely marvellous place to lay your head in our nation's capital! Close to everything, yet within a quiet bird-abounding neighbourhood. We couldn't ask for more - our hosts are a delight and the residence is exactly what we require...and more! Thank you Tom & Debbie, we look forward to staying again next year.
