In brief
Corporate accommodation in Canberra
If your team is heading to Canberra for a government project or corporate relocation, quality corporate accommodation in Canberra costs up to 35% less than a CBD hotel.
Why Corporate Housing in Canberra Makes Sense
Canberra is Australia's government capital. Demand for furnished corporate housing runs year-round. Departments in Barton, Parkes and the City precinct drive a constant flow of contractors, secondees and senior officials who need more than a hotel room.
Furnished apartments in Canberra offer a full kitchen, dedicated workspace, reliable internet and a living area. For stays of 14 nights or more, that translates to real savings and real comfort. SQM Research (2024) records Canberra's long-stay furnished apartment rates from roughly $700 per week in suburban precincts, compared to CBD hotel rack rates that regularly exceed $200 per night.
