Our preferred Canberra accommodation
We have family in Canberra and visit on a regular basis. Unfortunately they have no room for us to stay so we have been working our way around accommodation in the Narrabundah vicinity. We have stayed at the Forrest a few times, and twice in the past couple of weeks, in a 1 bedroom apartment. These are very comfortable and ideal for self-catering with oven, large fridge and even a washing machine with one lot of wash powder provided. Good selection of saucepans, crockery, cutlery. Location is good and handy to Kingston, Manuka, Parliament and all the major institutions such as Art Gallery, High Court etc. There has been some attempts at updating bathrooms but the doors could all do with a repaint. Also the common areas, especially the stairs are looking quite tatty with torn and worn carpet. We have considered staying in the motel rooms, but put off by reviews and photos which show they really do not some love and attention. If the rate is right, and there is availability, this is our preferred option to stay in Canberra in this general area. DH found the bed a little soft but I thought it was fine. Selection of pillows. Seemed quite clean.
