About this property

Cozy house in the inner north

Situated in a quiet loop street, this comfortable family home is available for short and medium term lets. Rather than stay at a B&B or a hotel rent an entire house. You will be less than a 5 minute walk from the popular Watson shops which provide groceries, a post office, a take-away, restaurants, hair salons and more. Plus bus connections to anywhere in Canberra. EPIC is within walking distance.

Cook at home inside in the well equipped kitchen or outside under cover on the BBQ.

Cockatoo House has one bedroom with a queen bed, one bedroom with bunks and one bedroom with a double bed. A portacot is available. Basic price provides doonas, pillows, bathmats, one towels and tea towels. Full linen and towels for all or some bedrooms can be arranged at most times during the year.

Two living areas provide plenty of space. Plus there is a covered deck and fully fenced back garden.


The Canberra Attractions

There is so much to see in Canberra and lots of it is free! Don't miss Old Parliament House or the War Memorial Museum to get a close up look at our history. Visit the Australian National Museum, Questacon, the National Gallery of Australia, the Botanic Gardens and Lake Burley-Griffin. If you visit the High Court or Parliament House at the right time you will see democracy in action!

Other Places of Interest

Other things to see around the Canberra area are the Zoo, Gold Creek Village and Mt Stromlo. Plus, right on your doorstep you can explore the Mt Majura nature reserve and have a personal encounter with the kangaroos!

Perfect, quiet place to explore Canberra with dogs
We really appreciated being able to take our dogs with us, and to stay in a house so ideal for them (and us!). It's a clean, efficient, practical house which is perfect for a Canberra holiday. Louisa was also super quick and helpful over minor issues, like internet dropout which we solved together instantly. Highly recommended!

It house is tired and needs some upkeep. Not even basics such as sufficient washing up liquid or oil were provided although there was lots of toilet paper. The lawns needed mowing. Had to provide our own linen. Not great value for money.

Great place for a family
An older style of house with plenty of room for a family. The back sunroom and backyard were a great space for the children to play. A good location within 20 minutes of most attractions. The only suggested improvement would be a second toilet.
