Tidbinbilla is an absolutely fantastic nature reserve and the visitor centre has everything you need to get a quick snapshot of the area before going exploring. There's an informative walk through that tells you about the history and the wildlife and heaps of cool mementos to buy. Price of admission is well worth it.

Approximate cost: $10

Pretty trendy place to have dinner. This cocktail restaurant serves very nice Oriental style food in a cool, ambient setting. Very big and interesting list of food and drink options all at pretty decent prices. Service is great too!

Jettys sits over the Hillarys boat harbour, with nice views over the flash boats and inner section. The buffet meals are reasonably priced and there is a big selection, something for everyone. The Mediterranean food menu is pretty good, it suits the price you pay perfectly without being overly exquisite.

For a club it's really good. Two underground levels - one with a small, luxurious style bar and the bottom with a big open club area. Drinks are cheap, entry is free and music is loud. Good amount of people here most nights it's open and it doesn't feel overcrowded.

Very nice hotel and close to all the central area attractions. Easy access to public transport, dining etc. Rooms are simple, spacious and elegant with high speed WiFi available. Pool is a bit of a let down but the rest of the facilities are good.

Approximate cost: $150 per night

A tidy yet casual set up open from breakfast to dinner. The staff are friendly, the place isn't obnoxiously loud and the drinks and food lists are decent. The buffet breakfast is nothing special but menu meals are well worth the very reasonable prices.

Incredible food. Everything from the Duck Pancake to the simple steamed rice was done absolutely perfectly. Wine and beers were well matched to each course and service was very efficient and friendly. The restaurant has a pleasant, spacious feel to it and prices are fairly good considering its reputation. Oh, they have very good hand sanitiser in the bathrooms too!

Very well designed place with huge indoor and outdoor spaces all with a large variety of different atmospheres, seating options etc. Decent range of beers although would like to see more Australian owned brands considering it's a Woolies pub. Food is nothing exciting, but is edible. Prices are average

The best Irish pub I've been to in Australia so far. There's a lot of separate rooms so you can always find a quiet spot, they get in great local acts and have a good range of local & imported beers at very reasonable prices. Atmosphere here is second to none.

Five levels of nightlife means this pub caters for every type of party goer. Inside is a pub, a nightclub, a casual restaurant and a sports bar, all completely secluded from one another so you don't get all that annoying cross traffic. Drinks are cheap and food is absolutely fantastic (and also cheap)

Approximate cost: $16
