We had a very enjoyable stay. Although it was a bit small and no back yard it accommodated our needs. The only thing we would suggest that needs to be change is the size of the tv.

We had a brilliant time at this easy, convenient home. The kids enjoyed cycling in the safe and quiet surrounds. The plants around the house give it great privacy and a nice outlook through the windows.

We had a great stay at Majura House. Great location and had everything we needed. Roomy, clean and in a quiet location. Great communication with host, answering questions very quickly. A great home away from home. No hesitation in recommending to others or staying again when visiting Canberra.

This was a wonderful property for us. In a quiet neighbourhood out of the city but within an easy drive to everything we wanted to see.
The property was well equipped and very comfortable.

Good location, clean, a bit dated. Lounge large size and comfortably accommodated 5 people. Good vibe. TV on the small size but got used to it very quickly. Kitchen comfortable, well equipped and clean. Unable to close door (about 20cm) of second twin without moving beds.

House was lovely but there were a couple of items which could be better. The shower door kept coming off the runner when you tried to close it. The pillows were very cheap and didn't provide any support. Would have been nice if there had been a couple if sachets of tea available.
Towel rail in bathroom came off wall as very cheap and not well made.
Other than that the house was quite nice.

We stayed for the weekend and when arriving after the check in time we found dirty glasses on the tables and in the sink. The owner apologised that the cleaner hadn't had a chance to finish preparing the property but offered to to clean after our check in. We declined this, as we could clean the glasses ourselves and everything else seemed clean. However the owner still sent the cleaner there after we had checked in and left it luggage there, and while we were out getting supplies. I would have preferred if the owner had respected my wishes.

Very nice house. Liked the array of helpful pantry items that were there. Especially liked the well-visited bird baths outside the front window. Easy access to walks.
