Agapantha Cottage - Country in the City, original artwork, wkly/mthly discounts

Agapantha Cottage is set in a shared garden that also has vegetables, fruit trees (orange, lemon, lime, apricot, cherry, fig, kiwi, plum, olive and apple) and ponds. There are (over 2000) agapantha flower heads that line the driveway and garden beds in summer.

Vintage furniture has been revamped with original art works on the walls. The Cottage is self contained with a full working kitchen including microwave, oven, sandwich maker, toaster, wok, full fridge/ freezer, coffee pod machine. There is a washing machine, clothes rack and split aircon unit as well. Great for family, writers and artists. Wifi and power included.
A comfortable queen bed and a single rollaway bed (on request and set up as needed in the living area) are available.
Strictly no parking inside the driveway gate as the drive is too narrow. Unload in front of gate if necessary, then park in bays or on the street, which only has local traffic.
A local shopping centre is nearby with 2 restaurants, fish/chip shop, massage and Pilates shops, chemist, butcher, grocer, newsagent and petrol station.

* * * * * *
Canberra has many museums, galleries, parks (with gas bbqs), bushwalking trails, bike paths, lake activities (kayaking, sailing, boat touring, swimming, boat peddling), amazing childrens playgrounds including road safety for bikes, the arboretum with banksia pods (see my photo). There are great restaurants nearby at the Belconnen Lakeside. Markets are also a feature notably Kingston Markets on every Sunday, Hall Market on 1st Sunday of the month and close to the Cottage, the Jamieson Market also on Sundays.

Canberra is also known as the garden city or bush capital. The famous Floriade festival of bulbs and gardens at the Lake Burley Griffen and the private Tulip Top Gardens, held in Spring, is highly recommended.

Quaint Cottage

We were actually out and about a lot, so we were really only here to sleep, but it was a really cute space. It was very secluded and surrounded by nature. We stayed during late fall, so it got a bit chilly at night, and I wish I had packed an extra layer. The throw blanket on the couch and the heated blankets on the bed were very much appreciated!

A Gem In Hawker

The initial impression when you see the house is fantastic. It is surrounded by a native garden and wild galas, parrots, and magpies all clamoring for singing space. There is decent off road parking and all retail outlets are within a 10 minute drive. The rental space is a detached one bedroom flat that is fully equipped for a stay of weeks. Everything in the rental worked and was in good condition. WiFi worked even though it did not have the speed we were used to having, but that is minor. We would recommend this place highly, but hesitate to do so as it may become too popular and may not be available when we wanted it! Seriously, great place and great value.

Property was cosy, bed was comfy and the surrounding gardens were lovely. Jenny was very nice and left us be. Was difficult to dry washing due to the season and the lack of sunlight available so needed to plan washing days. All round a nice place to stay and loved the quiet area and beautiful bird life in the area.

Interesting suburban location

Convenient and interesting location. Accommodation is in a beautiful garden setting that is close to local shops. The very large Belconnen shopping centre is not far away. Would benefit from a clothes drier given how damp our stay was and the poor state of the clothes line. Would love to stay here again should we visit Canberra in the future.

Canberra In Winter

This cottage was a delight to stay in and was our base in Canberra for just over one week. Although the outside morning temps were close to zero the cottage was warm and comfortable. It had everything we needed for our stay and is surrounded by a beautiful garden. The owner, Jenny, was a friendly, helpful host and allowed us to charge our EV overnight for a small fee. Very happy to recommend the cottage and we will use it again next time we visit Canberra.
