A Delightful Retreat
Samanda’s was an idyllic retreat from the bustle of Sydney: leafy, quiet, beautifully appointed and offering the perfect night’s rest. Everything you need is at your fingertips, and the deep bath in itself offered an enticing retreat at the end of a busy day’s sightseeing and activity. A seamless, totally restorative experience. Thank you!

Thanks Amanda for a lovely stay...the quaint little place was very clean, with a comfortable bed and luxury linen and huge bathroom. Unfortunately there were too many insects and mozzies to enjoy the little courtyard. But the TV and Coles Finest choco was great!

Underwhelmed
#1- not "cozy"- tiny a better description, kitchen not really suitable for " cooking up a storm", We bought and left for the kitchen ( two knives, two plates , two cutting boards, ice cube tray ), "private" deck is surrounded on 3 sides by a 7 foot hedge- the only view is straight up, three windows to the outside - two offer views of the hedge around the deck - the third window in the entrance offers views of the driveway and a different hedge.The decor is alright, the mirrors give the impression that the place is larger than it really is. Pictures on website don't really convey the smallness of the unit.If we had seen it in person we would not have booked it for our stay in Canberra.#2-not suitable for long stays- long weekend max#3-no hot tub- no gym#4- WIFI problematic#5- the washer/dryer?

Home away from home
Samanda's is a quaint and stylish property. We enjoyed our stay and felt there were all the comforts of home. Our small elderly dog was welcome, and there was a small private courtyard for her to wander. The location is good, being in the suburbs but typically no more than 15-20 minutes to major Canberra attractions. Thanks for having us.

Cannot recommend more highly 5⭐️'s +
This beautifully appointed place is a true home away from home experience. Perfect for anyone who wants cleanliness, an attractive and welcoming area without the lack lustre of a "Doggy Stay". I contacted Amanda prior re: my German Shepherd, as it is not everyday people go on holidays and take large dogs. After explaining how well behaved our pup is, Amanda not only confirmed she was welcome, but thanked me for respecting her property enough to seek permission prior as opposed to just presuming, a German Shepherd would be allowed. Amanda did, which shows her love of animals, ask not to use the property as a Doggy daycare, in an unfamiliar surrounding, as that is when a puppy love is likely to cause damage. Our girl was with us 24/7. Upon entering the property we were greeted with a beautiful ambient touch with gentle lighting and music playing, and the aroma of the complementary port to titillate our senses. In the fridge was a basic 2 cheese platter, another lovely welcome, esp as we arrived after dark and 24 hr shopping is unavailable in Canberra. We have stayed in many many places, both in Australia and overseas, and this was the first time we've experienced such a beautiful welcome. The one area I do have to bring to everyone's attention is.... Stayz gave us a code to access our key it was completely different to the code Amanda had advised, or we'd have been THAT couple that annoys
