Want to escape to the countryside? You can't go past the comfort and charm of Ginninderry Homestead (just 15 minutes from Canberra City); perfect for couples, a corporate alternative, or group get-together. This exclusive retreat possesses beautifully manicured gardens and unique 4.5 star accommodation (AAA Green Star approved – the regions first!) which evoke another world..

This luxurious homestead, situated on a 70 acre estate, comprises four queen ensuite rooms (Deluxe or Superior) all tastefully decorated with antiques and sumptuous soft furnishings.

It is not hard to see why Ginninderry Homestead is a multi award winning property, nationally accredited and features in the Australian Open Garden Scheme. Ginninderry Homestead offers understated elegance and charm, while providing modern comforts.

Chat or doze away in a comfortable chair on the verandah, stroll through the gracious gardens, or relax beside the trickling creek. Enjoy the calm – simply magical…

We have a passion for our oasis and would love to share it with you.

Extracts from the Sydney Morning Herald:
This is surely one of the best places to say in - or just outside - Canberra. The homestead consists of four cosy queen-sized rooms filled with antiques, and the place is run with the efficiency and attention to detail you’d expect of a modest boutique hotel, with facilities to match.
