Property information

Nishi Apartments Eco living By Ovolo are an ideal option when it comes to short-term accommodation. They give you the freedom to live like a local – you get more privacy (we do come and clean once a week), more room, and you can cook for yourself (if you want). The apartments are perfectly woven around NewActon’s three flagship buildings – East, South and Nishi. There are a number of different types but they all share the common Ovolo Nishi thread with interiors overseen by Ovolo Nishi's aesthetic curator Don Cameron and Ken Neale (our favourite furniture and object collector). NewActon is a lakeside urban village and Canberra’s arts and culture precinct. Here you’ll find some of Canberra’s best cafes, bars and restaurants, bakery, Palace Electric Cinema, meandering gardens, the Nishi Gallery, an outdoor cinema in the summer time, as well as a hair salon and beauty spot, a gym and pilates place. NewActon is a few minutes walk to the CBD, the theatre district, and the lake. Nishi Apartments are managed by Ovolo Hotels, so their wonderful Happy Shinny People will be there to assist you during your stay.

Neighbourhood information

NewActon is a mixed use precinct incorporating landscaped gardens, art, retail, hotel, restaurants, cinemas, residential and commercial spaces all linked by an inspired vision. NewActon is more than just a place to live, work and play-- it's a living art and design precinct that has won more awards (local and national) across architecture, property development and urban design than any other in Canberra's history.
