Property Description
Fresh from a brand-new refurb, Little Drifter Canberra is your cosy city escape, a place where curious souls come together to explore, connect, and drift into something new. Right in the heart of the city, we’re just a wander from Lake Burley Griffin, the War Memorial, and some of Canberra’s best-kept secrets. Whether you’re here to soak up the culture, chase adventure, or just see where the day takes you, we’ve got everything you need to make it unforgettable. With beautifully designed private and shared rooms, all air-conditioned and fitted with plush bedding, plus a rooftop terrace to soak in the sunshine, a communal kitchen for those late-night snack runs, and a games room for spontaneous fun, every space is made for moments that turn into memories. Free WiFi keeps you connected, secure storage keeps your things safe, and our friendly team is always on hand to help you dive into the best of the city. No curfew, no worries - just the freedom to drift, explore, and see where the adventure takes you. Let’s drift away together, somewhere, forever.
