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

Good overall

The space itself was warm and inviting, and we appreciated extras like the long-life milk provided on arrival. However, future guests should know that the cottage is a converted garage on the same property as a larger main house. The entrance, parking area, and front lawn are shared with the main house. During our stay, we noticed there were other people in the main house (we’re not sure if they were other guests or the host’s family), so we weren’t as completely secluded as we initially thought we’d be. This setup wasn’t as private as expected and it did come as a surprise because the listing hadn’t mentioned the shared property aspect explicitly. This information was not communicated clearly in the listing. This is important information for us and future guests to have upfront so we can make an informed decision. Polite suggestions for improvements. A couple of small changes could make the stay even better. For instance, the bathroom towel hooks are placed below waist height right beside the sink, which makes them impractical for hanging clean towels or clothes—items hung there can get wet or remain out of reach from the shower. It would also be helpful to have coasters and table mats to protect the furniture, and to update some of the worn cooking utensils and pans in the kitchen. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, and with these minor tweaks, the cottage would be even better.

Nice well kept property in a quiet location. Easy driving access to city attractions.

Great clean facilities, lovely host! Will come back.

Great location. 15min from CBD. Lovely and quiet

Agapantha Cottage was a lovely place for me and my 9 year old son to stay for a couple of nights during the school holidays. It is only a 15min drive to the city where all the museums are, which is what we came to see. The cottage was clean, cosy with all the lovely antique furniture, the wifi, netflix and aircon came in handy during the heatwave, the kitchen was easy to cook in, and the garden is beautiful. We'd definitely like to stay there again and would highly recommend it to others.

of all the places we stayed(15).Agapantha provided all our needs(2 people,5nights).travelling for 4 weeks and at the end of our trip,couldn't have found a better place to relax.lovely garden.....quiet area.wish we'd had more time to spend in the lovely cott., and the leafy garden.entire surrounds of cottage made one feel SWITCHED OFF.we would recommend Agapantha to any couple visiting Canberra...wished we had had more time there.

Great cottage . Very comfortable bed. Lovely garden views. Handy to have a kitchen.

The cottage itself is very lovely! It was clean and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The listing could be updated to note that this a shared housing block where you walk past the main house including deck and front door entrance down a driveway to a granny flat style cottage. While it was private, we could hear the people in the main house and felt the need to keep the curtains drawn the whole time to ensure privacy. All windows opened into the driveway or backyard of the main house.

Small but set up in green beautiful area

This is a quaint little cottage next to the owner’s house with a pretty separate garden for guest use. We enjoyed having breakfast outside. The cottage is very well equipped. It was easy to communicate with the owner and it was a short drive (15 mins) into the centre of Canberra.

A perfect space for me and my two small kids. Jenny was a lovely host helping me with local information about the nearby bush walk and local playground. We will stay here again in future without doubt. Thank you

Lovely place to stay, cosy cottage, the garden is charming, excellent communication with the host, host was so helpful when we left keys inside locked house. We were very happy with our stay. Definitely would book again.

Beautiful little cottageHas everything that you would need. Central to all attractions and Belconnen Westfield. Jenny the host is lovely and very helpful. Definitely would recommend staying at Agapantha Cottage.

Lovely cottage, very well equipped, super pretty garden.

Clean, cosy and lovely attention to detail

Fabulous cottage with easy access to all things Canberra

Lovely cottage. Just what we needed. Close to main area of town. Warm & cosy at night.

Would be lovely in some springtime

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!

Clean and tidy. Toilet seat was loose

Quiet, stress free stay surrounded by garden and wildlife. Convenient access to any area in Canberra if you have a car.

A great little cottage in a quiet suburb close to amenities.

My husband and I had a three night stay in Agapantha Cottage in March 2025. It was a convenient base for our first time exploring Canberra.Agapantha Cottage was a cosy, comfortable, home away from home and Jenny was a helpful and thoughtful host.

Quite location. Older premises but had all facilities that we required.

We have stayed there at least 3 times and it is always pleasant in a great area of Canberra

Excellent stay at Agapantha cottage. Quite suburb. Comfortable 1 bedroom unit with full kitchen. Host Jenny is very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely secluded cottage, peaceful & all facilities a traveller needs. Thankyou

handy place to stay

Jenny was a wonderful host. Very quiet location. Lovely cottage with all amenities needed. The fresh fruit from the garden and eggs from the chicken were a very nice surprise. Would certainly stay here again.

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.

Charming and comfortable little cottage and we enjoyed our stay there immensely.

Warm and cozy just be wary of the little step between the kitchen and dining room.

My daughter and I had a lovely stay. It was perfect for what we needed and close to the event we had to attend. Clean, private and pretty garden outlook. Thanks Jenny. We’ll be back :)

The cottage was quiet, clean and tucked away in a quiet suburb. Well stocked, perfectly adequate for short stay. Our host Jenny was friendly and accommodating.
