Mid-century magnificence This is a home that’s playful with colour and smoothly incorporates a sense of fun into the interiors.

If you enjoy a whimsical nod to the past, then this double-brick, threebedroom home at 52 Kavel Street in Torrens might be for you.

Bringing a Palm Springs vibe from the outset, there are low-maintenance cactus garden beds leading up to a pretty pink front door. The light-green eaves feel like they should clash, but they don’t.

Inside, the home opens to a pop of blue in the hallway, with the spacious living-dining room on the right. New paint, timber floors and LED downlights keeps things fresh. Note the sweet original green kitchen and an enclosed sunroom with a mountain outlook.

A detached studio is perfect for an artist or work-from-home set-up.

Agent Eliana Rojas-Terry of Better Real Estate says the home’s considered rejuvenation ensures its classic 1960s features were retained and celebrated.

The September 6 auction has a price guide of $950,000-plus.

For this edition, I had the pleasure of talking to the design team and owners of a striking 8.2-star energy-rated home. It’s not on the market (sorry!), but it’s a powerful example of what’s possible when you blend sensible design, energy modelling and a sustainability ethos. Whether you’re building new or planning a retrofit, learn how you too can aim high for energy efficiency, live comfortably and tread more lightly on the environment (p12). Then, for something equally striking, page 24 offers a peek inside ACT Brumbies head coach Stephen Larkham’s renovated Inner South home. Let’s kick off!

“Energy-efficient homes can still look and function fabulously.” Jenny Edwards

Energy solutions shoot for the stars Energy efficiency standards are improving in ACT homes, offering greater comfort and household savings to home owners while attracting higher premiums for sellers.

I

t wasn’t that long ago that a home’s green credentials in Australia were a novel curiosity – a “nice to have” feature for a select, environmentally conscious and forward-thinking few.

However, over the past couple of decades, environmentally responsible and sustainable housing has become increasingly mainstream nationwide, driven by heightened consumer awareness and demand, stricter building regulations and net-zero targets.

In the ACT, the very design of entire suburbs, such as Whitlam in the Molonglo Valley, now focuses on maximising passive solar gain to minimise energy consumption.

Future stages will also be gas-free – in line with the government’s plans to implement a complete gas phase-out by 2045 – which should reduce household costs for those with rooftop solar.

When given a choice, two-thirds of Australian home buyers would

12 | Allhomes

choose an energy-efficient home over a comparable standard dwelling, according to the 2025 Domain Sustainability in Property Report.

Listing data from Domain backs this up: almost one in two homes now flag at least one energy-efficient attribute in their property listings.

The green shift is no longer a future forecast. The desire for lower house running costs, increased comfort, and a preference for minimising environmental impact is shaping how we value and choose a property.

Energy-efficiency premiums According to the Domain report, over half of all houses (52.2 per cent) and more than a third of units (39.1 per cent) sold this year mentioned energy-saving features in their listings, a significant increase over the past five years.

Solar remains the most common feature, found in nearly 38 per cent of

Sustainability: Biraban House in Macquarie achieved an 8.2-star energy rating, meaning it generates more energy than its occupants consume.

Modifications: Tweaking the orientation, layout and window position early on can lead to a home exceeding minimum standards at no extra cost.

houses sold, as home owners embrace long-term energy cost savings.

This trend addresses a critical issue, as residential properties consume around 24 per cent of the nation’s electricity, largely due to poor thermal performance.

Energy-efficient homes offer a proven pathway to reduce consumption, enhance liveability and shield households from volatile energy prices.

Light House ArchiScience director Jenny Edwards, who is a scientist and licensed ACT building energy efficiency assessor, says it pays to look at energy star ratings since performance between stars can vary widely.

“To put things into perspective, an eight-star design requires half as much energy per square metre as a six-star design for annual heating and cooling,” she says.

“An eight-star design requires 30 per cent less energy than a seven-star design.

It really is worth shooting for the stars.”

The financial incentives for energyefficient housing are equally compelling.

The Domain report shows that, in Canberra, an energy-efficient house attracts a 10 per cent price premium ($94,000), while units command a remarkable 17.6 per cent per cent difference ($84,000).

Edwards believes energy efficiency not only saves on energy bills but also improves your comfort, and therefore your physical and mental health.

“Your home is the place you spend the most time with the people you love – it is worth getting right,” she says. “Nobody regrets having a home that is warm over winter and cool over summer without relying on air-conditioning.”

Shifting building regulations for new homes

that all new residential buildings would be all-electric from 2024.

According to the Housing Industry Association’s chief executive of industry policy, Simon Croft, building regulations are reshaping new homes in Canberra.

“The National Construction Code (NCC) 2022 contained substantive changes for all new homes and major renovations for the ACT,” he says.

“This included increasing the energy rating to seven stars under NatHERS and incorporating a new ‘whole of home’ requirement to control the collective energy usage of fixed appliances, including hot-water systems, heating and air-conditioning, lighting, and swimming pool and spa [heaters and pumps].”

The next iteration of the code, expected later this year, will push this further.

As part of the ACT government’s plan to transition from fossil fuels, the capital was the first jurisdiction to announce

Continued from Page 13

Character: Biraban House was designed around an existing tree that is now a focal point in the view from the open-plan living room.

Croft anticipates it will “introduce new requirements to pre-provision homes to enable the future installation of EV charging equipment”.

This means new houses will require pre-run cables into garages and provision in switchboards for charging equipment, a change that follows similar requirements for new apartments.

“The changes in NCC 2025, and those happening here in the ACT, are part of the broader transition to the electrification of buildings,” Croft says.

“We’re already seeing more buildings and owners shifting to all-electric homes, and this will see future homes less reliant on the electricity grid.”

Croft predicts Canberrans will continue the uptake of solar panels, battery storage and heat pump systems following a new $2.3 billion federal home battery subsidy initiative.

“This scheme provides home owners with a 30 per cent discount off the upfront cost of household batteries,” he says. “I’m sure this will be popular with ACT households.”

Spotlight on Biraban House While new building codes are setting a higher benchmark for energy efficiency, experts argue that the key to creating truly exceptional homes lies in treating sustainability as a core design principle.

Edwards, whose firm is behind hundreds of sustainable Canberra projects, says home owners who are planning a new build should aim higher than the minimum standards.

She warns against the common pitfall of prioritising floor plans and aesthetics over energy efficiency.

“Thinking about energy efficiency at the end can prove costly,” Edwards explains. “Simple tweaks to orientation, layout and window position [early on] can mean the home exceeds minimum standards at no extra cost.”

Her advice is to start with the sun: “Think hard about making the most of the low-angled northern sun in winter.

Every square metre of window that the sun hits is equivalent to a one-kilowatt radiator inside your home. In our cold, but often sunny, Canberra winters, that is a lot of free heat.”

Edwards recommends using energy modelling software early in the process as it is a “really powerful” design tool that can “massively improve the comfort and reduce the energy needs of your home”.

A shining example of this philosophy is the firm’s Biraban House in Macquarie, which was completed by Brother Projects in 2021.

The knock-down rebuild, which achieved an 8.2-star energy rating,

W H AT M A K E S A 7 - S TA R H O M E Better thermal fabric

This refers to a home’s ability to maintain a comfortable temperature with minimal artificial heating and cooling. It’s achieved by combining smart design features like a northerly orientation, effective shading, highperformance windows and excellent insulation.

Efficient appliances

The goal for a seven-star home is to ensure its operational systems are as efficient as its structure. To meet new building requirements, the focus is on the installation of highly efficient appliances, opting for electric alternatives over gas appliances, and incorporating on-site generation to offset consumption with renewable energy.

“We’re already seeing more … owners shifting to all-electric homes and this will see future homes less reliant on the electricity grid.” Simon Croft features a dynamic interplay of materials, starting with an eye-catching facade of sustainable Weathertex panels and warm blackbutt timber before adding contrasting dark-grey Colorbond and a playful yellow front door.

Owner Emily Walter says the home’s solar-passive design and 10-kilowatt solar system mean the family of four virtually haven’t had an electricity bill since moving in.

“It is such a comfortable home,” she says. “In summer, it’s cool inside, and in winter, it just feels warm. Even on the coldest mornings, we don’t need to turn on our heating.”

The design process was meticulous.

Light House oriented the three-

bedroom, two-bathroom house to be north-facing, while polished concrete floors and uPVC double-glazed windows help to regulate internal temperatures.

The build was designed around an existing tree that is now a focal point in the view from the main open-plan living room.

Emily says building a sustainable home aligned with her and her husband Tom’s values, but they didn’t require anything overly large. Their new home needed to be functional with enough space for a family of four (and two dogs) for the long term, with options to work from home.

She says the long planning stage was a worthwhile investment that delivered a home that’s both practical and beautiful,

and adds, “I haven’t found anything that I would change.”

The Walter’s experience underscores Edwards’ core message: comfort and efficiency are not mutually exclusive from great design.

“Your thermal comfort and your energy bills will affect your quality of life just as much, if not more, than the aesthetics,” Edwards says. “Highly sustainable and energy-efficient homes can still look and function fabulously.”

The combination of strong buyer demand, government regulation and industry innovation proves that sustainability is no longer a “nice-tohave” – it’s an essential component of a modern Canberra home.

COVER STORY Words by Ray Sparvell

Where volume meets vision Pairing soaring ceilings with meticulous design, this Denman Prospect house has plenty of light, space and high-end finishes.

T

here’s nothing like high ceilings or double-height voids to increase a sense of space in a home – and everyone likes more space. Right?

Not only that, but those extra vertical centimetres – or metres – also amplify the volume of natural light in a home.

In today’s market, a combination of space and light makes for a powerful equation, which agents may describe as a “compelling buyer proposition”.

Sitting on an elevated 431-squaremetre block in one of the Molonglo Valley’s most popular suburbs, this new residence would appeal to most.

Alexander Smout of Belle Property Canberra, who lists this cover property, says the home is one of the best to come to market in Denman Prospect.

“The owner put all her ideas into the home in terms of design and interior fixtures, fittings and finishes,” he says.

“It was going to be a forever home, but life interrupted and a move to Sydney now means someone else will enjoy this beautiful residence.”

16 | Allhomes

The home showcases an attractive facade from the street on a block that’s sited to capture uninterrupted views of the Brindabellas and further vistas.

The exterior channels a modernist influence that displays classic geometric lines complemented by a balance of stone cladding, timber and other finishes drawn from a neutral palette.

Inside, it offers 272 square metres under roof across two levels.

First impressions: There’s a real infusion of natural light, complemented by a continuing timber motif, both underfoot and in other bespoke features.

Smout says that’s been noticed by a healthy number of groups that have inspected the home.

“They like the sense of grandeur it conveys along with a feeling of space and the abundance of natural light,” he says. “Buyers are really noticing the attention to detail ... and how everything is finished to a high standard.”

“It’s a luxury home with plenty of style and is low maintenance.

That puts the emphasis back into enjoying a new lifestyle.” Alexander Smout is adjacent to a guest bedroom and en suite. It wouldn’t take too much imagination – or expense – to combine the two and deliver a spacious retreat for, say, extended family members.

Absolutely stealing the show is the open-plan family zone occupying the rear of the house. The showstoppers are the double-height void, a bespoke glass, timber and steel staircase, and a floorto-ceiling marble slab that houses a wide screen TV and gas fireplace.

Smout says these are the “wow” factor inclusions for would-be buyers.

“They impart a sense of heightened style and could almost be considered sculptural elements,” he says.

Then there’s the kitchen, which features curved marble benchtops, Miele appliances, and a butler’s pantry.

Upstairs, the main suite offers a sanctuary, complete with a luxurious en suite with a free-standing bath, dual vanities, and a walk-in wardrobe.

Both the other bedrooms on this level also include en suites.

Home comfort is delivered by ducted air-conditioning and double glazing.

There’s a double garage with internal access, and landscaped gardens.

“The home has wide appeal, but there’s interest from family buyers and professional couples looking to move up the property ladder,” Smout says.

“It’s a luxury home with plenty of style and is low maintenance. That puts the emphasis back into enjoying a new lifestyle.”

The home is within walking distance of the Denman Village Shops, childcare and early learning centres, Evelyn Scott School, and the vibrant Ridgeline Park and playground.

“It offers convenient access to Canberra’s major employment hubs like the city, Belconnen and Woden, making this an exceptional opportunity to secure a refined family home in a premium location,” Smout says.

This feature is part of an Allhomes package.

Luxe inclusions: Each bedroom comes with an en suite, but the main bedroom’s lavish en suite has a free-standing bath, shower and dual vanities.

Regaining lost ground: House prices in Canberra are now just 8.8 per cent below their 2022 peak.

C

anberra’s property market is heading into spring with high hopes for the usual flurry of activity. But agents say it is shaping up to be a slow and steady season rather than a sharp spike.

The Domain House Price Report for the June quarter shows the city’s median house price rose 1.1 per cent to $1.07 million – its largest quarterly gain in 15 months. The median unit price

jumped 4.6 per cent to $610,752, marking its sharpest rise in almost two years.

According to Domain’s chief of research and economics, Dr Nicola Powell, the national capital’s housing market is on a gradual recovery path.

“House prices are now 8.8 per cent below the mid-2022 peak – having already recovered roughly a third of the earlier decline – and are on course to continue a slow recovery,” she says.

“Unit prices are now 2.9 per cent below their September 2023 peak, having recovered roughly two-thirds of their earlier decline. Units are now outpacing houses, narrowing the price gap, although a typical house still costs about 75 per cent more than a unit.”

The improvement comes as national housing markets strengthen in response to the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) interest rate cuts earlier this year.

A slow and steady recovery As some buyers wait for more interest-rate cuts by the Reserve Bank, Canberra’s residential property market continues to see rises in price, clearance rates and sentiment.

18 | Allhomes

“Buyers are not rushing. They’re making informed decisions and watching the market.”

Michael Potter

The median price in the combined capital cities has reached a record high, supported by improved borrowing capacity, still-tight listing volumes and resilient population growth.

That momentum could lift further after the RBA’s decision this month to cut interest rates by 25 basis points, bringing the cash rate down to 3.6 per cent.

The move is expected to add to buyer capacity ahead of the peak selling season.

Higher auction clearance In Canberra, July market data pointed to rising activity even before the latest cut. Auction clearance rates surged to 63.5 per cent – the city’s highest in two years – with volumes at their strongest since 2022.

New listings jumped 21.1 per cent over the month, led by a 34.6 per cent rise in units, though total supply remained slightly lower than a year ago.

Even so, local agents describe an uneven market.

Samantha Linsdell from Hive Property says activity is far from uniform across the market, with some segments moving more briskly than others.

“We are finding that a particular price bracket, between $800,000 and $1.2 million, is transacting quite well,” she says. “But we are still seeing that the top end of the marketplace is quite slow.

Canberra’s average days on market have

blown out significantly in the last month, increasing by approximately 20 days.”

Linsdell’s own figures show her days-on-market average typically sits at around 30, but in recent weeks has stretched to 45.

Across the city, she says, properties are fluctuating anywhere between 70 and 90 days on market, on average.

Putting the change down to a mix of supply dynamics and buyer caution, Linsdell says many are waiting to see the impact of the RBA’s latest moves.

“Historically, we’d see at least two to three consecutive cuts before there was a significant change in the marketplace,” she says. “There’s been some positivity

around it, but I think people are waiting for that second or third cut before making a financial decision.”

Linsdell also has found the clearance rates to be inconsistent, with some weekends performing strongly and others more subdued.

“One week is really positive and the next is not; you really just don’t know where you stand,” she says. “It’s quite a reactive marketplace, and that’s [unusual] for Canberra … it is definitely a lot more unpredictable at the moment.”

First-home-buyer surge Michael Potter of Michael Potter Real Estate agrees the market remains fickle, with some homes generating strong interest, and others attracting little, as buyers take their time.

“Listings have been quite tight,” he says.

“I think last year was probably stronger than this year.

“Buyers are not rushing. They’re making informed decisions and watching

the market. It’s not one straight line but an up-and-down trajectory.”

As we head into spring, Potter believes the sub-$900,000 segment is likely to attract the most competition, while the top end will remain subdued. In particular, he says more first-home buyers are likely to enter the market, with the interest rate cut increasing their borrowing capacity.

But rather than a dramatic rebound, Potter expects steady improvement through to the end of the year.

“I get a feeling that things are not going to go boom, but we’ll start seeing more steady growth, with more properties selling through private treaty and clearance rates picking up,” he says.

“I think we’ll have a really good, interesting spring. Is it going to be [frenetic]? I don’t think so. We’d like to think we’ll have a lot of activity in the market with [continued] growth, and getting back to a normal growth market around 3 or 4 per cent per annum.”

Above: More properties are expected to sell through private treaty this spring.

s one of Canberra’s oldest suburbs, Reid is a reminder of the origins of our city, as well as a reflection of where it is now.

Much of the suburb was built in the mid-1920s, providing homes for the new nation’s public servants. Some of these beautiful homes still stand, and most of the suburb is heritage-listed.

Now, due to its proximity to the city, you’ll also find new apartment developments, particularly along Cooyong Street on the western border.

Reid is also close to Braddon, Ainslie and Campbell, and everything they offer in terms of lifestyle, with their plethora of restaurants, bars and cafes.

Belle Property Canberra principal Louise Harget says you can enjoy the best of two worlds here.

“It’s just moments from the city, yet nestled in a tranquil, leafy setting that feels like a charming forest retreat,” she says. “This is a suburb where people tend to settle for the long haul; it’s truly a forever-home kind of place. Most residents stay for years … drawn by the beautiful, close-knit community.”

Reid attracts a range of buyers, from young families looking to secure a place near Canberra’s premium schools, to empty-nesters who still want space to host family gatherings and accommodate visiting grandchildren.

“Buyers with an appreciation for charm and character are drawn to the timeless appeal of a heritage-listed, single-level home,” Harget says.

While these heritage-listed homes don’t often sell overnight, she says buyers who value the rich history and character of the area are always looking.

“Many Canberrans really appreciate the suburb’s heritage, something that not all buyers from outside the ACT quite get,” Harget says. “So, while turnover is low, demand remains strong, making it a sought-after area.”

What the agent says

Kevin Bi Ray White Canberra

Things sure are looking up!

I

f you plan on visiting 1/32 Bindaga Place in Aranda, make sure you look up. In many spaces throughout the five-bedroom house, the ceiling is more than the fifth wall – it’s where the drama, the light and the surprise unfold.

In the private cinema, a Rolls-Royce starlight ceiling twinkles overhead.

In the enclosed sunroom, an automated shutter roof glides open to welcome the sky on warm days.

In the entry, a sweeping curved staircase spirals upward, framed by handcrafted New Zealand glass

balustrades. In the main living area, double-height ceilings and wraparound glazing flood the space with light and leafy views.

Architecturally crafted in 2020, the house delivers more than 500 square metres of internal living space.

The ground floor holds the garage, a formal lounge and the cinema, which is fully equipped with acoustic insulation, a built-in bar and a bathroom.

Upstairs, an open-plan living and dining zone – anchored by a Smegappointed kitchen with butler’s pantry –

flows to the all-season sunroom and an outdoor kitchen.

Two bedrooms, each with an en suite, a powder room and a versatile gym space, complete the floor.

Upstairs again, the main-bedroom suite boasts treetop views, an oversized walk-in wardrobe with a built-in dressing table, and a spa-like en suite.

Two additional bedrooms, a bathroom and a living area round out the space.

Other touches? Tasmanian oak floors, underfloor heating, a solar system with battery storage, and custom joinery.

HOME TOUR

Words by Karen Hardy • Photos by Ashley St George

Smart design: The heritage home was renovated to showcase light-filled, modern and family-friendly interiors.

I

t’s kind of ironic that Brumbies head coach Stephen Larkham has spent the past few seasons cooking up the club’s recipe for success in what used to be the butler’s pantry of his Canberra home.

After a renovation, the space was rejigged to become his home office, where he can sit and review games, and work on training schedules and matchday strategies. The sink in the corner may be superfluous, but the addition of a personal bar is perhaps handy when analysing rugby games that didn’t go the Brumbies’ way.

It’s also where Larkham keeps some memorabilia marking his playing career.

But don’t expect a “man cave” with framed jerseys and showy displays – his humility (alongside his ability to read the play and elusive running style) has always been a trademark of his game.

There’s a photo of Larkham with Wallabies teammates Joe Roff and Ben Tune after the 1999 Rugby World Cup win against France, some trophies, a couple of woollen Test caps and other snaps of his early Brumbies days.

“I know a lot of people put these kinds of things on display, but no one really comes into this room,” Larkham says.

“We thought about painting the old cabinet and putting it all out in the house, but we’ve been talking about that for a while.”

Larkham, his wife Jacqueline and their daughters Jaimee, 22, and Tianha, 18, have been living in their Inner South home since 2011. It was bought in 2005, but before they could move in, Larkham signed with the Ricoh Black Rams, and the young family instead lived in Japan for a few seasons.

The heritage home was designed

by Oakley and Parkes, the renowned architects behind several early prestige homes in the nation’s capital, including The Lodge. In 2012, the Larkhams embarked on renovations to transform the interiors into a modern, light-filled and family-friendly space.

Completed by Brother Projects under the direction of Fine Line Design, the home today features an open-plan living area centred on a five-metre stonetopped island bench for the family to gather around. Blackbutt timber flooring throughout is softened by large rugs,

while aspects of the Japanese aesthetic have been subtly incorporated, visible in the clean lines and storage options.

A separate family room opens onto a north-facing terrace and pool area with a fire pit.

Larkham still hosts the Brumbies’ annual Christmas party in the backyard, but he only smiles when asked how many props a trampoline can hold and who gravitates to the hot tub.

On the large 1500-square-metre block, the surrounding garden of flowering shrubs and trees is a welcome retreat.

“I loved living and playing in Japan, but everything was on top of you,” Larkham

says. “We lived right under a motorway and I developed claustrophobia, but that disappeared when we moved back here.

“It’s spacious inside and around the house, and instantly everything just felt more comfortable.”

Larkham enjoys tending to his garden but wouldn’t call himself a gardener.

“I couldn’t tell you what the plants are called,” he says. “But I enjoy mowing and [pruning] … there’s something calming about it, a sense of achievement in keeping it all under control.”

When spare time around the rugby schedule allows, he and Jacqueline also enjoy walking their pomsky (a

pomeranian-husky cross) Skye up around Parliament House.

They bought her in Ireland when Larkham was coaching Munster in 2020, and she quickly had the whole family wrapped around her paw.

On a weekend night, if it’s not game time, the Larkhams might be found in the formal living area where there’s a slow-combustion fireplace and a stateof-the-art television.

They love watching movies together, a habit that goes back to Larkham’s early playing days when the pre-game routine the night before involved popcorn, lemonade and a film.

Against a backdrop of traditions and memories, Larkham reflects on the changes to their home through the family’s life stages.

“It’s a house that’s grown with us,” he says. “During the renovations, we incorporated a secret passage between the girls’ bedrooms through a loft area, but these days they have it blocked off.

“What was the girls’ playroom has changed into a space where they can find some privacy. Other rooms now serve a different purpose to their original one.”

Just like the former pantry-come-office, where Larkham now weaves his off-field magic to lead the Brumbies onwards.

Family-friendly space: Stephen Larkham in his Canberra home, which features an open-plan living area centred on a five-metre stone-topped island bench.

THE LOCAL EDIT Words & photos by Tenele Conway

Snug pub escapes just a stone’s throw from Canberra Not far from Canberra, these charming local pubs invite you to unwind by the fire, enjoy tasty meals and soak up their unique character.

T

here’s just something about a country pub. The crackle of a fire, the chatty and often quirky locals, or the smell of something slow-cooked coming from the kitchen.

Luckily for us, Canberra is surrounded by country towns where the local pubs offer a cosy winter getaway without the hassle of long-distance travel.

The Sir George (Jugiong) The renovation of The Sir George hotel really put the tiny town of Jugiong on the map. Built in 1852, this two-storey pub now offers a rustic chic charm that is at its best when the winter fires are roaring.

Located only an hour and a half from Canberra and just off the Hume Highway, it’s an easy drive that will see you back home on Sunday afternoon, refreshed for the week ahead.

The menu is one of the highlights of a visit to The Sir George and will have you enjoying the best of produce sourced from the Riverina. Dishes range from small plates, such as steak tartare,

26 | Allhomes

fioretto fritti and burrata, to mains like whole local trout, coq au vin and 12-hour lamb shoulder.

The pizza menu is also not to be missed, with gorgeous, handmade sourdough pizza bases perfectly topped with local meats and quality cheeses.

The rooms here are not your standard pub accommodation either. The property’s 19th-century converted stone stables offer high-end amenities.

320 Riverside Drive, Jugiong sirgeorge.com.au

The Royal Hotel (Bungendore) Don’t be fooled into thinking Bungendore is just for day trips because this little town packs a punch when it comes to things to do and see. From art galleries and antique stores to a good choice of cafes and restaurants, it’s worth taking your time for a wander.

Straight off the back of a multimilliondollar renovation, the Royal Hotel in Bungendore has everything you want from a country getaway.

“Canberra is surrounded by country towns where the local pubs offer a cosy winter getaway.” Tenele Conway Grab a feed: The Sir George Hotel in Jugiong serves up small plates, mouthwatering mains and sourdough pizzas.

Behind the classic Victorian facade of the Royal is a cosy, inviting pub with modern comforts, such as central heating to supplement the fires, skylights to bring in natural light, and a large bistro serving pub classics.

The upstairs rooms have also been fully renovated and range from cosy rooms for two through to a family suite. And, unlike the pub of the past, each room has been retrofitted with stylish bathrooms.

It’s the perfect weekend away.

Have a chat with the friendly staff and locals, catch some live entertainment or simply sit by the fires and settle in for the night.

The Bundanoon Hotel (Bundanoon) Less than a two-hour drive from Canberra, you’ll find yourself in the quaint Southern Highlands township of Bundanoon.

Here, the 1922 Bundanoon Hotel (built on the land of the former 1884 pub) sports a unique Tudor Revival style of architecture, which has been the inspiration for recent renovations – think deer heads, tartans and cosy couches.

Out back is a large beer garden with a stage for live entertainment. But if you’re

visiting during winter, you’ll want to pick a spot in the Brigadoon Bar or by the fire.

The bistro menu includes a selection of share plates, such as fried pork belly, pan-seared loligo squid and chicken liver pâté. The main menu heavily features seafood dishes from blue swimmer crab linguine to whole roasted rainbow trout, plus desserts such as spiced date pudding. There’s also a cheese plate with Tarago brie, Maffra cloth cheddar, Moss Vale half blue, dates, quince puree and crackers.

The rooms upstairs vary from unrenovated to renovated, but all guests have access to the on-site tennis court and pool.

The Oriental Hotel (Tumut) This two-storey 1872 corner pub is reminiscent of the gold rush era and is a stunning example of a Georgianstyle hotel with its parapets and filigree adornments.

Located in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains, just over two hours from Canberra, Tumut offers loads of interest for a weekend away.

If country pubs are your thing, this town is jam-packed full of them, so

much so that you can conduct your own pub crawl, which will cover five historic hotels without having to walk more than a few hundred metres.

Once back at the Oriental, you can settle in with a hearty meal. Start with some tacos or nachos with slow-cooked meats, or grab a steak from the chargrill.

The creamy smoked trout and lemon pasta is the ideal way to consume the famous local fish.

48 Fitzroy Street, Tumut orientalhoteltumut.com.au

Add these to your list You could also head to the Royal Hotel in Dalton, a charming little pub in a very tiny town, or the Araluen or Nerriga pubs, and return home in time for dinner.

Consider booking a weekender in the new family rooms located at the Braidwood Hotel. It’s a great way to experience Braidwood’s creative and eclectic charms, which are experiencing a revival at the moment.

AGENCY PROFILE Words by Laura Valic

Left: Alexander Smout, Richard Davies, Louise Harget and Dan McAlpine of Belle Property.

Above: Founding principal Dan McAlpine in his role as a licensed auctioneer.

Client focus leads to five-star reviews Who Alexander Smout, Richard Davies, Louise Harget & Dan McAlpine • Agency Belle Property • Where ACT

S

ince its Canberra launch in 2016, Belle Property has solidified its standing as a leader in real estate.

Guided by founding principals Richard Davies, Louise Harget and Dan McAlpine, the business has rapidly evolved from a new venture into one of the region’s most awarded brands, with four offices and a team of more than 50 now serving clients across the capital into Queanbeyan and across the Snowy Mountains region.

Like many agencies, Belle Property Canberra has had to navigate moments when market conditions shifted quickly, from interest rate spikes to pandemicera buyer behaviour. The team credits its resilience to a strong internal

28 | Allhomes

culture and a relentless focus on the client experience. By embracing clear communication, data-led forecasting, and a strategic move from reactive to proactive marketing, the business has met these challenges head-on.

Davies says that this agile approach ensures they are always prepared for what lies ahead.

He spoke to Allhomes about building a strong team, market predictions, and what advice he would give to buyers and sellers ahead of the spring season.

What qualities or experiences do you look for when building your team?

We look for people with our shared values, who are resilient, collaborative,

self-aware and wired to serve. Skills can be taught; integrity and alignment cannot. Our top performers come from diverse backgrounds – athletes, creatives or former military personnel – but they all bring consistency, humility and drive.

Many of our agents have been individually recognised as suburb specialists and awarded agent of the year titles by RateMyAgent. Our commitment to client outcomes has earned us one of the highest volumes of verified five-star reviews in the region.

What’s your best piece of advice for buyers and sellers?

For sellers: don’t rush, because preparation trumps timing. The two weeks before your property hits the market are just as important as the four weeks it’s live before the auction.

For buyers: price isn’t everything.

A good agent will help you navigate not just the purchase, but the strategy.

Continue asking questions and work with people who know the area deeply.

What’s something most people don’t realise is part of an agent’s job?

Most people think it’s all about negotiation, but the truth is: the magic is in the preparation.

This includes setting the right expectations, staging, timing, pricing, presentation and buyer qualifications, which all help a deal go smoothly.

How do you measure the success of your brand beyond sales numbers?

We measure it in client advocacy such as referrals, repeat clients and longterm relationships. We also track agent growth, community involvement and brand consistency across touch points.

Success isn’t just about being number one; it’s about being remembered for the right reasons.

What’s next for the Canberra market?

Canberra is a market of microclimates; what happens in Griffith doesn’t necessarily reflect what’s happening in Gungahlin. The mix of owner-occupiers, long-term public sector tenants, and investors gives it a rhythm all of its own.

It’s also one of the most data-literate and transparent markets in the country, which means buyers and sellers are extremely well informed.

As we move into spring, we’re seeing signs of a measured recovery. Buyer sentiment is shifting from hesitation to confidence, listing volumes are rising, and rental markets are showing signs of stabilisation. The next phase of growth will be led by well-priced, well-presented properties, especially in lifestyle-oriented suburbs. We also see a stronger investor return into the ACT market later this year as yields stabilise and regulation becomes clearer.

This feature is part of an Allhomes package.
