Mcmillan Gardens Furnished Accommodation

The room looked nice, but it had a strong musty smell of mould. I thought some fresh air might help, but the smell persisted even with the door open. It gave me headaches and made staying there extremely unpleasant. I had a young child with me, so I decided not to stay. They still charged me when I asked to leave early. I also asked to speak with the director, but was told they were holidaying overseas and wouldn’t discuss it. Despite the owner's comment, this was definitely Canberra Furnished Accommodation.

The place was nice, modern and secure, and the local staff were very friendly and helpful. But a month after we left, management charged another $52 to my credit card, saying I’d exceeded their weekly electricity allowance in one two-month period, even though we’d stayed almost six months. We’d been put in one of the coldest south-facing rooms over winter, and only used their reverse-cycle air conditioner for heating. We also weren’t allowed to read the electricity meters ourselves, so there was no way to check our usage. Given how much rent we paid over those six months, the charge felt stingy and left a sour taste.

Sarah, Tracy, Kristin and Jenni were friendly and quick to respond when I needed anything. I loved my studio apartment in McMillan Gardens. It was bright and cosy, and I felt very comfortable there during my five-month stay.

The staff were friendly and always helpful. My room was clean when I arrived, with a comfortable bed, and the location was good. After the first few days, it really felt like home. I’d recommend it to friends and family.
