Great place to stay!
My two small dogs and I spent four very comfortable nights at Lyttle Cook and were really happy here. Maryanne is a friendly and helpful host, available but not intrusive. The unit is in a great location, quiet, close to local shops, near walking tracks and park for the dogs, and just a 10 minute drive to the museums and galleries I wanted to visit. I would definitely consider staying here again as it had everything I needed. Thanks Maryanne for your hospitality!

Perfect Short Stay with Pets
Maryanne was a wonderful host while we were showing our 2 dogs at Canberra Royal. Her Guesthouse was perfect for what we needed and within 15 minutes of EPIC. Easy communication and check in, and we were given our privacy for the rest of the stay - knowing she was only a text or a doorknock away should we need her. Great sized space for what we needed, lovely set up and everything supplied.

A lovely place
My husband and I had a comfortable, relaxing stay at Lyttle Cook B&B with our dog. The place looked exactly as the photos and was neat as a pin. It was very easy to get around Canberra via car too. I can highly recommend Maryanne's place.

Holiday getaway
Nice accommodation and friendly host, space is smaller than expected but comfortable and quiet. The area itself has a lot of options for places to go and eat would recommend having your own transport though. Great off leash field for dogs and playground for kids as well as a cafe, pizza shop and convenience store all within a 2 minute walk away. Would definitely book it again

My wife and I had a great stay in Maryanne’s b&b , she was very friendly and accommodating the unit is clean and comfortable. Maryanne also looked after our dog for the day while we went to visit some of the tourist attractions around Canberra. She cooked us some delicious muffins !

Mr
Perfectly located for our needs, easy to find near a small group of shops including a cafe and deli/grocer/bottlo. We had off street parking, a sunny deck in a small gated yard that our dog made good use of and a comfy bright studio flat to chill clean up and sleep. Our host was brilliant. On our arrival our dog met hers and the two others she was minding and before we knew it we were off to our 18th Party and our pup was staying as part of.the family. Ten star. 🙏🙏
