Little Drifter Canberra

Stay

Little Drifter Canberra is where culture, nature, and conversation meet in the heart of the capital. Just steps from Lake Burley Griffin, this city-side retreat is made for the curious—those drifting in for the museums, the markets, or just a moment of stillness on the rooftop.

Whether you're wandering to Parliament House, diving into the National Museum, or catching first light in a hot air balloon, you'll find the city right on your doorstep. Inside, the pace slows: cook up something great in the communal kitchen, unwind in the games room, or simply watch the day roll by from the terrace.

With air-conditioned rooms, flexible options for every kind of traveller, and just a short stroll to the coach terminal, Little Drifter Canberra is ready when you are.
