About this cottage rental
Agapantha Cottage is set in a shared garden that also has vegetables, fruit trees (orange, lemon, lime, apricot, cherry, fig, kiwi, plum, olive and apple) and ponds. There are (over 2000) agapantha flower heads that line the driveway and garden beds in summer.
Vintage furniture has been revamped with original art works on the walls. The Cottage is self contained with a full working kitchen including microwave, oven, sandwich maker, toaster, wok, full fridge/ freezer, coffee pod machine. There is a washing machine, clothes rack and split aircon unit as well. Great for family, writers and artists.
A comfortable queen bed and a single rollaway bed (*on request* and set up as needed in the living area) are available.
Strictly no parking inside the driveway gate as the drive is too narrow. Unload in front of gate if necessary, then park in bays or on the street, which only has local traffic.
A local shopping centre is nearby with 2 restaurants, fish/chip shop, massage and Pilates shops, chemist, butcher, grocer, newsagent and petrol station.

Canberra has many museums, galleries, parks (with gas bbqs), bushwalking trails, bike paths, lake activities (kayaking, sailing, boat touring, swimming, boat peddling), amazing childrens playgrounds including road safety for bikes, the arboretum with banksia pods (see my photo). There are great restaurants nearby at the Belconnen Lakeside. Markets are also a feature notably Kingston Markets on every Sunday, Hall Market on 1st Sunday of the month and close to the Cottage, the Jamieson Market also on Sundays.
Canberra is also known as the garden city or bush capital. The famous Floriade festival of bulbs and gardens at the Lake Burley Griffen and the private Tulip Top Gardens, held in Spring, is highly recommended.

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.

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.
