 "Pleasant guesthouses in renovated two-storey duplexes, 4 km (2.5 miles) north of the GPO and within walking distance of the Yowani Country Club, Kamberra Winery... and 30 cafés and restaurants." 
 "Good, motel-style B&B with free wi-fi, limited off-street parking and a bus stop nearby. There’s a relaxed, old-fashioned feel and the owner is friendly and helpful."
