We stayed one night and then another. The front office staff were polite if a little distracted most of the time. The marble, tiling, thick carpets and leather Chesterfields give this club an English style atmosphere. The most impressive views are from the Breakfast Room on level 7 from 7 to 9am. The library stocks daily newspapers and must-reads on all things motoring. The artwork is naturally themed automobile and air travel. We were impressed with the James Bond car parking entrance under the Cahill Express way. The cheery valet was keen to learn about our other car...my husband fibbed and said it was a Lotus Exige S. That got them talking! We noticed the Filipino house maids were early at 6.45am keen to start chatting in the corridor to guests. Perhaps a no-tipping policy by the club might stifle the early morning noise? We loved the club's proximity to the Opera House, Circular Quay and The Rocks precinct. Anyone with business at The Music Conservatory or the Mitchell Library/State Library of NSW has only a five minute uphill walk. This club is near the Justice Museum and Contemporary Art Museum so there's no excuse to stay uncultured in Sydney's CBD. We will stay again and trust one of the smallest double rooms in Sydney with a view of Sydney Harbour Bridge is free again.

We first saw this café when it first opened. Little did we realize that within the Kingston Foreshore Development are a group of people who crave home-cooked meals, fish'n'chips on Friday nights and ham and eggs for breakfast. Dr Zuess would fit in with the décor and loveable Mrs Sackville. The laminated tables and odd chairs are humorous and it takes just a little while to realize that Mrs Sackville is English and has humour. We love her cheery laugh and good cooking. Definitely a place to take the visiting relatives for a pot of tea.

We needed some extra software for the Mac and found this outlet near the ANU campus. It appears to cater mainly for university students but there were some corporate looking types in for some items too. We liked the friendly way the staff have of making us feel welcome. There is a range of Mac and other brand computer items in this shop and a discount bin if you are looking for 'something extra' to put towards a birthday gift. Parking is not easy for this shop but there is a public bus stop at the next street corner. It's about a five minute walk from the centre of Civic to Mac 1 ANU.

We stayed two nights and could easily have stayed another two. The mock Scottish baronial castle look within the public rooms were great! The music room had the best heater of all and the log fire near the leather sofas was really pumping out the heat. It's a pity the billiard room couldn't be accessed when the Massage Room was occupied. We retreated to the Tattinger Room but found a family and their toys were taking up roost by the fire. The restaurant meal (one hatted) made up for any disappointing areas of this hotel. The brunch was superb. The walks around the golf course were enjoyed with little traffic to observe. The golfers' cafe upstairs in the clubhouse just has to be seen with its tartan wall paper and hot dog stand. Our only real gripe was the set of billiard queues which were far too long for the room size.

Canberra Business Point provides a friendly service to assist Canberra business owners start and develop businesses. The company runs a series of small fee courses on how to make a business profitable and sustainable.

We stayed here one night for ANZAC day and were impressed with the convenient location and style of this hotel. We were able to watch the ANZAC parade from our hotel window - just the best view in town... The buffet breakfast and access to health centre nearby were an added bonus. We'd definitely recommend this hotel for a short break.
