CANBERRA CBD

QT Hotel is our recommended hotel in Canberra and it’ll take less than 15 minutes to Uber or lightrail to the Spilt Milk gates. QT has some of the best rooms (and comfiest beds) in the capital, a speakeasy bar, barber shop, restaurant and 24-hour room service (#hotelyf). It’s four stars of heaven with the festival practically on your doorstep.

APARTMENT LIFE

For those that love an afterparty debrief (or just love spending time with their mates and saving a bit of cash at the same time), here are some of the best apartment options in the Canberra CBD. These are all about a 10 minute ride on the light rail to Spilt Milk in Exhibition Park and they’ve all got multiple bedroom options. Lesgo.

LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE

Ovolo’s Nishi Hotel will ruin every hotel moment in the future for you. It’s an artful imagining of a sustainable future, bringing nature inside through design and finishes. Each room is fancy AF, with free minibar, in-room snacks, wifi and so much more. The Nishi building also has one of the best restaurants in Canberra, Monster Kitchen. It’s about a 20-minute Uber to the gates of Spilt Milk.

BUNK UP

The Village Hostel is your best bet for backpacker accom. It’s located right in the middle of the city, and is about a 10 minute ride on the light rail to Spilt Milk. If time is money and this is cheap AND close to the action, what does that make this? A vibe, we reckon.
