Canberra Family Accommodation

Only three hours' travel from Sydney and seven hours from Melbourne, Canberra is the perfect place for a family holiday. The zoos, museums, parks and playgrounds are enjoyable for adults and kids alike. And to ensure your holiday is hassle-free, the city also provides family friendly accommodation to suit your needs.

For a stay the kids will remember for a long time, check out the farmstays. Choose from cottages or guesthouses on working farms where the kids can get involved in caring for the animals, while you relax and take a stroll of the grounds.

For a bit more room, discover the range of self-contained apartments available both in the city and further out. Many apartment complexes have pools, gyms and spas, and you can rent apartments with as many bedrooms and facilities as you need. Or rent a short-term holiday home, providing a backyard and all the other comforts of home. Some even allow the family pet, so you can bring the dog too.

Some holiday resorts have self-contained villas with supervised kids' activities, giving you time to rest by the pool or sleep in. But if your needs are basic, Canberra boasts a great variety of hotels and motels within your budget and close to all amenities. You can stay close to the airport, the CBD, the outer suburbs or bushland. It's up to you.

And if your family prefers the open air, try the local camping grounds which all have a variety of facilities depending on your needs.
