Anu | Apartment in City West, Australia

Summary:
Contemporary and stylish, this 1 bedroom apartment with expansive views of Black Mountain is located in the 8-star energy rated Nishi Apartments, right near the centre of Canberra within the trendy ‘New Acton’ cultural precinct. Adjoining the Ovolo Hotel, it has all the convenience of the hotel amenities such as bars, restaurants, cafes, day spa, hairdresser and even the Palace Cinema complex. The apartment comes with a secure, undercover parking spot.

The Space:
This beautifully designed 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment features an open plan kitchen/dining/living space with Bosch kitchen appliances, Caesar Stone bench tops, a 4- burner gas cooktop and under-bench oven. A dining setting seats 4 people and flows through to the living space with 2 sofas (the larger folds out to a double bed if required) and a large flatscreen TV. Floor-to-ceiling glass stacker doors showcase uninterrupted views of Black Mountain from a private balcony which can be completely enclosed, or opened up with another set of glass stacker doors with that magnificent view of Canberra’s highest peak and Lake Burley Griffin off to the left. The bedroom has a queen size bed, while a slick, frosted-glass enclosed bathroom features floor-to-ceiling tiles and a roomy, frameless glass shower recess. A European style laundry houses a front loader washing mashing and Bosch dryer.

If you’re a working traveler, the dining table and breakfast counter serve as workstations, supported by fast and unlimited WIFI available throughout the apartment.

Because of the building’s high energy star rating, electric air-conditioning is not required. Cleverly designed windows create natural cross-ventilation and a complete air-conditioning effect. In the winter, the apartment is heated from solar panels across the entire roof which heats up a thermal hot water system.

This apartment also comes with secure undercover car parking.

The Neighborhood:
‘New Acton’ is an innovative, cultural precinct that has well and truly put Canberra on the map for design, creativity and originality, offering a great diversity of attractions and experiences. You can explore culture, art and history throughout the numerous museums, galleries and archives, along with embassies, significant landmarks, markets, shopping and eateries all close at hand. Canberra’s CBD (Downtown) is just 10 minute stroll away, the Australian National University (ANU) is just 12 minutes on foot and you can even walk to Lake Burley Griffin in under 20 minutes. Visit Parliament House and take a guided tour to both debating chambers or visit The Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House, the National Capital Exhibition, National Museum of Australia, National Portrait Gallery, and the National Gallery of Australia – the choices are endless and all within a 10 minute drive of the Nishi Building.

If you’re more into recreational activities, you can explore the walking and bike trails of Lake Burley Griffin or hike up Red Hill to see kangaroos and other wildlife. Red Hill provides sweeping views, and you can be rewarded with a range of coffees and smoothies for your efforts. Mt Ainslie is another amazing lookout to enjoy, well worth the drive or hike.

Getting Around:
Although the apartment comes with its own undercover security parking spot, you’re in a great location for walking as mentioned earlier. Nearby bus services offer public transport options too.
