'Hive' uniquely channels boutique hotel feels, and at the same time, cozy at-home comfort. Whether you stay for a day or many, 'Hive' is where the heart is.
THE SPACE:
"Hive', is the top level of three custom-built, cleverly themed boutique micro apartments part of the 'GREEN ROOMS'.
Arguably the penthouse of the GREEN ROOMS, the daringly green-painted apartment features a designer graphical hexagon and monstera leaves tiled wallpaper. The angular print converges with the room's angular walls to create a unique space.

The room has a half-height fluted glass fixed panel that partially segregates the space into two different areas - kitchen/living/bathroom and bedroom/wardrobe/laundry.
There is one queen-sized bed and an Ecosa sofa in the kitchen/living area that folds out into a double-sized bed. PLEASE NOTE: Sofa-bed linen and an extra set of towels will be supplied only when you book a 3rd person for your stay. If you would like the extras supplied without the 3rd person booking there is an additional linen charge of $50. Please let me know when you book that you would like the additional linen.
The ducted air conditioning will ensure you stay comfortably cool or cozy through all of Canberra's seasons.
There is on-street free parking in the cul-de-sac and on the main street. Plus you're smack bang in between two tram stops. About 350m from your doorstop in both directions and electric scooters are never far away.
BEDROOM / LAUNDRY:
The queen-sized mattress sits on a custom-built bed base with a paneled green velvet bedhead. The bed base has inbuilt soft close draws at the end and open shelf storage along the side.
There is a large, half-height window facing toward the City to the right of the bed. The window looks out to the treelined street and is finished with a roller blind and sheer textured curtains so you can create the light to suit your mood. There's another large half-height window that faces west and is fitted with the same quality window furnishings.
At the bed end side, is a purpose-built suitcase storage shelf, topped with a stone benchtop. Above the bench hangs two brass hanging rails, for you to hang clothes for your stay, or to spread your things out a little when you're trying to decide on your outfit. Behind the rails, is a wide, full-length mirror.
There is a Bosch washer-dryer combo under a stone benchtop and overhead cupboards equipped with laundry essentials and a steam iron. Also included is a safe if you want to pack away certain belongings when you're out and about on adventures throughout the Canberra region.
KITCHEN / LIVING:
The living area features a super comfy Ecosa sofa-bed, in a cloud grey fabric. For a little bit more space (or an extra person), the sofa can be converted into a double-sized bed. Please note however to stay comfortably here, two people is the magic number. The sofa-bed extends to the wall, and so you’ll need to step over it to get to the bathroom. If you’re happy to compromise your space, then three might just be your magic number. We'd recommend packing it up and setting it up daily during your stay to ensure maximum use of the space.
It's easy to lose time if you're staying in, watching literally anything on the 4K high-def, 43-inch Smart TV. But if you're not in the mood for watching TV, just log into your fave music app, and play your favorite tunes while you relax.
KITCHEN / LIVING:
The living area features a beautiful King Living sofa bed in a textured rust fabric. The sofa cushions can be adjusted or removed for ultimate comfort. For extra space (or an additional guest), simply hover your hand over the side button, and the sofa extends electrically to a single bed size.
Let natural light pour in through the narrow floor-to-ceiling window, or block it out with the blackout blind. Whether you're staying in to watch something on the 4K high-def 43-inch Smart TV or logging into your favorite music app to play your tunes, this space is designed for relaxation.
A side table doubles as a height-adjustable laptop table. Work comfortably on the sofa or raise it to full height to use as a standing desk.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook your favorite meals: cooking utensils, baking dishes, beautiful serveware, and essentials like olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, tea, instant coffee, and sugar. The kitchen includes an induction cooktop, a combi steam oven (for baking and reheating), a full-sized dishwasher, an integrated half fridge (note: no freezer), and a Nespresso coffee machine with pods. If you're dining in, one of the two sofa tables is perfect for enjoying your meal. Cleaning supplies are also provided, including The Aromatherapy Co. kitchen multipurpose spray, hand wash, lotion, and Eco Store dishwashing powder and liquid.
BATHROOM:
The bathroom features a stunning free-standing pedestal basin with brass tapware and a floor-to-ceiling narrow window with a blackout blind. The generously sized shower offers both a monsoon and a handheld showerhead, stocked with Thankyou. hand and body wash, luxe body lotion, and Monday shampoo and conditioner. Plus a Remington Jetsetter 2000 hair dryer.
The GREEN ROOMS are primarily powered by solar energy, so along with eco-friendly amenities, you can feel good about your environmental impact during your stay.
