Home to the Prime Minister and foreign diplomats, when it comes to gracious living, the suburb of Deakin is right on the money.

The leafy residential suburb is one of Canberra’s most popular postcodes, just ask the Prime Minister. Among the pretty postwar houses you’ll find the official residence of the country’s leader, as well as a series of grand embassy buildings and the heritage-listed complex of the Royal Australian Mint. Go on a journey through geological history when you discover the volcanic rise of Mount Painter and the Yarralumla Formation.

"1. Scored an early check in, even though I didn’t ask for one. Always glad when that happens. 2. For a loud atrium, I was a shocked at how quiet my room was. 3. I wouldn’t mind if you asked your laundry contractors to add a couple Downy beads along with the pillow cases as they get washed."
