Canberra & Surrounds

The nation's Capital, with a population of over 340,000, Canberra is Australia's largest inland city, just 280 km south-west of Sydney and an excellent gateway to the NSW ski fields, just 3 hours away. An entirely purpose-built, planned city, Canberra was inspired by the “garden city movement” and incorporates significant areas of green space, earning it the title “bush capital”. No other city combines the administrative grandeur of Parliament House, the National Art Gallery, War Memorial and National Museum, with features like Lake Burley Griffin, Black Mountain and celebrated cuisine, culture and outdoor activities.


Canberra provides visitors with a unique experience, perfect for those who appreciate fine food, art and culture, relaxing weekend getaways and work conferences alike. Combining style and sophistication with comfort and convenience, Peppers Gallery Hotel is situated in the trendy Acton precinct – just a stroll away from exhibitions, galleries and markets. Mantra on Northbourne and Mantra MacArthur Hotel, both located one block from the CBD, have you in close proximity to lively restaurants, bars and tourist attractions. Overlooking the sparkling waters of Lake Burley Griffin, BreakFree Capital Tower provides guests with the perfect base from which to explore.
