The Village Canberra is situated in the heart of Canberra’s city centre, making it the perfect spot to see the many sites Canberra has to offer, grab a meal, have a shop, or take a stroll through manicured and lush public parks. The Village Canberra features a sunny rooftop terrace to relax after a big day of exploring. Guests can hang out in the games room, or enjoy a meal in the BBQ area. The large communal kitchen and dining areas are perfect to whip up a delicious meal, or guests can grab a drink and a slice from The Shaking Hand bar located below the premises. The Shaking Hand Bar is the perfect spot to unwind after a long day of exploring the city, to enjoy live music, or a dance the night away with DJ’s who keep the party going late into the night! With cold beer, wine, spirits, frozen margaritas and pizza by the slice, The Shaking Hand bar has everything you need for a great night out. All rooms are air conditioned and feature a work desk. Some rooms have a private bathroom, TV and tea/coffee making facilities. The Village Canberra is a 5 minute walk from the coach terminal, which offers connections to Sydney and Melbourne. It is a 5 minute drive from the Australian War Memorial, the National Museum of Australia and Parliament House. Canberra Airport is a 15-minute drive away. Lake Burley Griffin is just a 10 minute walk away. The whole of Canberra is at your fingertips when you stay at The Village Canberra!
