Abode Gungahlin

Abode Gungahlin is an apartment-style hotel in Canberra’s north, offering 61 self-contained rooms for guests visiting for work or leisure. Its location at the corner of Gribble Street and Anthony Rolfe Avenue places it within walking distance of Gungahlin Village Shopping Centre, while the Federal Highway, Exhibition Park in Canberra, Canberra’s CBD and Canberra International Airport are all accessible by car.

The rooms are set up for stays that need more than a standard hotel room. Each includes a kitchenette and washer/dryer, along with air conditioning and heating, tea and coffee facilities, a work desk, complimentary unlimited Wi-Fi and Google STAYCAST streaming. Depending on the room type, guests can also have a balcony or courtyard, a separate entertaining area, or additional sleeping capacity.

There are room types for a range of travellers, including King Studios, Executive Studio Apartments, Accessible Studio Apartments and Family Studios. The accessible rooms are designed for guests with mobility impairment, and the property is listed as wheelchair accessible. Families and groups can choose rooms with additional beds, while the kitchen facilities and laundry setup may suit longer stays or guests who prefer some independence during their visit. The hotel is also pet friendly, making it an option for travellers bringing a four-legged companion, subject to the stated pet fee.

For food and everyday essentials, the on-site Abode Pantry in the lobby stocks a selection of food, drinks and travel necessities, including frozen meals and snacks. An online version of the pantry allows guests to order beverages, snacks and ready-made frozen meals for delivery to their room. Palmers Gungahlin is next door and offers dining with a charge-back facility to the room. On-site car parking is free, and reception is open daily from 8am to 8pm, with possible variations on public holidays.
