When people come to Canberra for the weekend, what are they looking for in an Airbnb? Privacy? Proximity to Floriade? Views of Parliament House? New data from Airbnb shows that what they’re actually looking for is … room for their pooch to come too.A list of Canberra’s ‘most wished for’ properties on Airbnb shows <a href="https://www.airbnb.com.au/rooms/569687159813812763?source_impression_id=p3_1710111551_uZQjH9k7CXUK%2FaSa&amp;_set_bev_on_new_domain=1710193921_YzcyYjE3NjRhYWFk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sarah and Matt’s abode in Higgins</a> is right at the top of the list: and it’s aptly named ‘Paw-fect pad’.<img alt="Pawfect 1" class="richtext-image full-width" height="432" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Pawfect_1.width-800.png" width="720">The one-bedroom, one-bathroom granny flat is described as “light, airy and modern, with plenty of creature comforts (for you and your four-legged friend)”. The backyard is fully fenced, with the option of not one but four parks and the local shops for when you want to take your fur baby for a walk.<img alt="pawfect 2" class="richtext-image full-width" height="600" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/pawfect_2.width-800.png" width="800">Just below the Paw-fect Pad on the list is <a href="https://www.airbnb.com.au/rooms/53814677?source_impression_id=p3_1710111637_cn8n0KMov8uXrgAQ&amp;_set_bev_on_new_domain=1710193921_YzcyYjE3NjRhYWFk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this ‘Stunning Guest Suite’ in Duffy</a>.

(We’re also assuming that its proximity to Stromlo means it hosts an endless stream of mountain-biking couples from interstate.)<img alt="duffy 2" class="richtext-image full-width" height="405" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/duffy_2.width-800.png" width="720">According to Airbnb, its services contribute $187 million to Gross State Product in the ACT and supported almost 1,200 jobs in the year to March 2023.“Our hosts in Canberra contribute powerful economic ripple effects to the region,” says Susan Wheeldon, Country Manager for Airbnb, Australia and New Zealand.“We’re supporting businesses such as retailers, restaurants, bars and cafes — which are often the foundation for life in local communities.”<h3 data-block-key="424up">The most sought after properties in Canberra also include:</h3><h4 data-block-key="71iso"><a href="https://www.airbnb.com.au/rooms/877594056929588082?source_impression_id=p3_1710111468_PNy2KKN6vsA%2B1evW&amp;_set_bev_on_new_domain=1710193921_YzcyYjE3NjRhYWFk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">This one-bedroom, one-bathroom studio in Chisholm.</a></h4><img alt="Sunny Southside" class="richtext-image full-width" height="540" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Sunny_Southside.width-800.png" width="720">This new self-contained flat is fully furnished with a full kitchen and “all the nice things you need to have a relaxing stay”.

The final collection of apartments in Belconnen’s resort-style <a href="https://zango.com.au/developments/cirrus-belconnen-act-2617/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cirrus</a> development has been released, with residents expected to move into their luxury waterview pads in August.And with the waterfront complex nearing completion, expressions of interest are now being sought for five commercial spaces that open up onto Emu Bank.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image_Cirius 4.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image_Ci.width-800_7X3JR39.jpg" width="800">Per Se Developments managing director Anthony Tokich said the two Cirrus towers will change the face of Belconnen and is set to revitalise the popular precinct overlooking Lake Ginninderra.“Everyone loves the design,” he said, “and not just those in Belconnen, but Canberra in general.”“It’s going to be a very vibrant new precinct in a great location, with Westfield shopping centre right next door.”Mr Tokich said about 90 per cent of apartments have been sold, including the penthouses, and only a handful of one and two-bedroom apartments remain.“The homes have been really popular with middle-aged and young professionals, with the penthouses snapped up by downsizers,” he said.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image_Cirius 3.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image_Ci.width-800.jpg" width="800">“There’s a fantastic mix of owners from Canberra and a few from Sydney, and they’re all excited to be getting closer to moving in.”He said Cirrus marks a new chapter for elevated design in Belconnen, with all of the apartments facing north, taking in commanding views over the lake.“The apartments are generous in size and have been designed for owner-occupiers, with larger kitchens and living spaces.”With the addition of cafes and restaurants in the commercial space, Mr Tokich says Cirrus residents will have everything at their fingertips.“On a Friday night, you can walk next door to Westfield and watch a movie, grab a quick snack from the food precinct or duck into Kmart or the supermarket,” he added.“In terms of the convenience factor, you can’t get much better than this.”<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image_Cirius 2.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image_Ci.width-800_EGaboXx.jpg" width="800">At 24 storeys, Cirrus is one of the tallest buildings in Belconnen, composed of an arresting verticality that is offset by an elegant shell of precast concrete panels with a subtle, velvety finish.Inspired by resort amenities, each apartment has been meticulously crafted, offering open plan living with crisp white kitchens, timber grained joinery and stainless steel Smeg appliances.The living areas open onto generous balconies taking in breathtaking views day and night.Expansive bedrooms with floor-to-ceiling windows also take in the waterfront views, with some boasting an extensive balcony, while the bathrooms are furbished in soft, elegant surfaces that are evocative of spa decor.Residents can enjoy a shared pool and gym floor that connects the two towers and on-site parking.Mr Tokich said the final premium apartments are available for purchase now and will be ready to occupy in time to enjoy springtime by the lake.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image_Cirius 6.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image_Ci.width-800_hO7XDmB.jpg" width="800">For more information about <a href="https://zango.com.au/developments/cirrus-belconnen-act-2617/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cirrus</a>, contact <a href="/agents/richard-moses/">Richard Moses</a> on 0416 501 205 at Colliers International Canberra.Article was originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/residents-on-a-high-as-luxury-cirrus-towers-near-completion/469892" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct.</a>

Residents on a high as luxury Cirrus towers near completion

For a city designed around lakes and waterways, Canberra has not traditionally had a lot of options for water-side living. But thanks to a wide range of new developments, finding an abode with water views from your balcony, lounge or even your bed is becoming more common. Here are four homes, available for sale right now on Zango, where you can lap up water views every day of the year.<h4><a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/24-6-trevillian-quay-kingston-act-2604-28812/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">24/6 Trevillian Quay, Kingston</a></h4>Waterfront living doesn’t get much closer or come much more spectacular in Canberra than the Kingston Foreshore, and you can enjoy it in style in this two bedroom sub-penthouse apartment. It boasts a 180 degree outlook thanks to a wraparound balcony, with captivating panoramic sunrise to sunset views across Kingston Foreshore and back towards Canberra CBD over Lake Burley Griffin. The apartment has a gourmet kitchen plus spacious living and dining areas, and floor to ceiling double glazed windows throughout ensure you can enjoy the views no matter where you are in the apartment. Just a quick ride down the lift and you also get to enjoy all the vibrant foreshore has to offer.<h4><a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/36-35-chandler-street-belconnen-act-2617-28599/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">36/35 Chandler Street, Belconnen</a></h4><img alt="3635 Chandler Street BELCONNEN.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="532" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/3635_Chandler_Street_BELCONNEN.width-800.png" width="800">The Lake Ginninderra foreshore is now the buzzing home to a number of developments with plenty of opportunities to live lakeside, like this two bedroom, two bathroom apartment. Nestled on the fifth floor, its wraparound balcony offers views over John Knight Memorial Park and along the entire expanse of Lake Ginninderra. Inside is designed for easy living, with a stylishly appointed kitchen, bedrooms with lake views, two generously sized bathrooms, and a whole lot more storage space than you’d usually find in an apartment. Live here and you’ll also get to enjoy the complex’s private gym, pool and barbecue area.<h4><a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/istra-elison-harvie-close-greenway-act-2900-23825/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Istra Elison Harvie Close, Greenway</a></h4><img alt="Istra Elison Harvie Close, Greenway.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="453" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Istra_Elison_Harvie_Close_Greenway.width-800.png" width="800">There aren’t as many options to buy a family-sized home with waterfront views in Canberra - they tend to get snapped up when they hit the market so you have to be quick. There&#x27;s also this brand new three bedroom townhouse in the Istra development on the shore of Lake Tuggeranong. It’s designed to combine the ease of townhouse living, with the comforts and space of a traditional home. As well as a spacious open plan kitchen, living and dining area on the ground floor, it has a rumpus room on the upper level, along with the three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The townhouse sits on the quiet side of the lake surrounded by natural parkland, but it’s still just a short walk to Tuggeranong Town Centre.<h4><a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/113-macs-reef-road-bywong-nsw-2621-27287/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">113 Macs Reef Road, Bywong</a></h4><img alt="113 Macs Reef Road, Bywong.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="490" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/113_Macs_Reef_Road_Bywong.width-800.png" width="800">Want private waterfront living? You can’t get much more secluded than a rural estate with your own private dam. Set over 20 acres, this architecturally designed family home offers large scale, relaxed living. The home has six bedrooms, four bathrooms, two separate studies, formal and informal living and dining options, and a rumpus room, plus there’s an additional fully self-contained cottage on the property. The home boasts some impressive views so you can get cosy and gaze out over the dam, plus your own swimming pool, tennis court, and surrounding rolling hills.
