Great property well located in Ainslie however the lead photo of Government House in Yarralumla misled us. We didn't know Government House and believed we were staying in a repurposed mansion like one we know of in Melb. Despite that, the property was very clean, modern and we appreciated how close it was to the shops with great cafes and a supermarket.
From the kerb it looks like a cross between a building site and the entrance to a prison, when you are inside the house its very nice, clean and tidy. More towels would be nice, and way less rules/regulations. I also didn't like a reminder of those rules sent to me by txt the day before leaving and the almost demanding way of requesting that I put the bins out and get them back in before leaving.
