Arrival Logistics

Landing in Canberra, Seamlessly

Fifteen minutes separate the runway from our porte-cochère — and our drivers know which approach avoids the morning queue. Private arrivals, commercial connections and the occasional helicopter transfer all land the same way: a name card, a cold towel, a smooth drive.

Three Excursions We Swear By

Our head concierge keeps a notebook of places that never make the brochures. These three get requested more than all the others combined.

The Murrumbateman Pour

Three cellar doors that don't take walk-ins — Clonakilla, Shaw, and a garage producer pouring unlisted shiraz from the barrel. Half-day, chauffeured.

5 hrs

After-Hours at the Gallery

A private walkthrough of the National Gallery's major works before doors open — arranged through our arts foundation partners.

2 hrs

Brindabella by Helicopter

Thirty minutes over the ranges at golden hour, landing at a mountain vineyard for lunch — the single most rebooked excursion we run.

The Meditation Garden

Level three holds a small gravel garden that most guests discover by accident and then defend fiercely. Raked each morning at six, it hosts a ten-person tea ceremony every afternoon and stays open — and silent — until midnight.

  • Daily matcha service at 15:00, eight seats
  • Guided morning meditation Tue & Sat, 07:30
  • Phones sleep in linen pouches at the gate
The Cinephile Vault

A Cinema for Twelve

Basement level, wine-velvet walls, a 4K laser projector and a catalogue of four hundred prints — book the whole room for your party and the screening list becomes yours alone.

Family Wing, Level 5

Interconnecting suites, a games den with actual board games, and a kids' club that runs mornings so parents can run the spa circuit.

Family Sanctuary

Travelling With the Whole Crew

Family stays get their own logic: suites that connect rather than adjoin, a supervised club for ages four to twelve, and babysitting booked by the hour through the same concierge line as everything else.

Executive Symposium

Rooms Where Decisions Happen

Twin breakout rooms with writable walls — built for workshops that actually work.

Service Questions

Booking Services, Explained

Day services — spa, dining, cabanas, excursions — can be booked standalone through the contact desk. Room-linked services like salon access require an overnight stay.
Yes — tell the concierge your dates and interests and we build a single itinerary with one invoice. Bundles of three or more services receive a 10% house discount.
Most run every day of the year — spa, dining, valet and transfers included. Excursions and the kids' club adjust hours on major holidays; the desk confirms timings at booking.
Most services cancel free until 24 hours before start time; salon bookings and event spaces follow separate terms. Everything is itemised in our refund policy.

One Desk, Ten Services

Message the concierge once — transfers, tables, treatments and tee times all come back in a single itinerary.
