Furnished homesin Manuka.

“Canberra at its most established — and its most walkable.”

Manuka sits in Canberra's inner south beside Kingston and is the capital's oldest surviving shopping precinct, built in the 1920s and still arranged around the original Style Street and Franklin Street blocks. It is compact and largely low-rise, with a dense run of restaurants, cafes and specialty retail, the heritage Capitol Cinema, and Manuka Oval a short walk away hosting cricket and AFL. The surrounding streets hold some of Canberra's most established housing — interwar and post-war homes on large blocks under mature street trees — with a smaller supply of apartments closer to the shops. Furnished stock is therefore limited but tends toward quality. Parliament House and the Parliamentary Triangle are within a few minutes, which is the practical reason most medium-term tenants are here: parliamentary and departmental staff during sitting periods, consultants on departmental engagements, and diplomatic staff, given the proximity to the embassy belt in Yarralumla and Red Hill.
