See Inside … Canberra Furnished Accommodation

On Thursday 26th March we invited a small group to See Inside our new 3 bedroom apartment.
http://www.canberrafurnished.com.au/properties/executive/apartment-241/.

This event is something we run regularly at Canberra Furnished Accommodation, we are proud of what we do and love having the opportunity to prove our claim that our properties are the best value and quality for temporary accommodation in Canberra.

The evening was a great success.  We enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with members of the local business community over a drink and show them through one of our properties, demonstrating why we really are specialists at turning each of our properties into a genuine ‘home away from home’ for our guests.

This is a great opportunity for me to say thank you to the wonderful people I have working with me.  We were one team member short this week – always a challenge in a small business with a small team - but it was all hands on deck and as always they did me proud.

For all those that attended and networked at our event, below are the names, business names and websites of the attendees.

Canberra Furnished Accommodation – Family Business Australia Article

Just wanted to share our Family Business Australia article which was published in October 2008.

Canberra Furnished Accommodation – B2B Magazine Article

We recently had an article in B2B. View a pdf version of the article or read a snippet from it below…

Laurie McDonald is the owner and Director of Canberra Furnished Accommodation, which has 33 centrally located properties in its portfolio – from small studio units to two-bedroom executive apartments, all designed to meet client needs.

“We’ve listened to our clients about what they want, especially business people and their families,” says Laurie. “People are after comfortable and affordable accommodation, privacy, and prompt service if something goes wrong. The reality is that not all accommodation providers respect these basic requirements. It can often be about skimping to save money.”

In contrast the décor of Canberra Furnished Accommodation’s properties is modern and all are well appointed, with ‘little extras’ like espresso machines, Egyptian cotton towels, high thread-count bed linen and throw rugs on the beds. The kitchens are so well-equipped you can easily cook a five-course meal in them and the outdoor spaces are furnished, with many having barbecues….

A “home away from home” is what Laurie McDonald provides through her business, Canberra Furnished Accommodation. All properties are competitively priced, fully equipped and perfect for those needing convenient, quality accommodation – short or long term.

Properties range from budget one and two-bedroom units in Griffith to executive one and two-bedroom apartments in the city. The properties are ideal for those who are here on temporary assignment and visitors to the nation’s capital who seek room-to-move and the convenience of being able to cook their own meals. All properties are modern and well appointed with espresso machines, Egyptian cotton towels, high thread-count bed linen and outdoor spaces that are pleasantly furnished.

The Canberra Furnished Accommodation website is detailed, informative and definitely worth a look. Unlike a hotel, which chooses which room you stay in, with Canberra Furnished Accommodation you can look at detailed photos and a plan before booking.
