I thought I’d share some more of our experience at Rydges Capital Hill Canberra last weekend. This follows on from my post last weekend about the room we were in.

Our accommodation included breakfast at the Rydges buffet each morning, and I have to say, it was one of the best breakfast buffets I’ve been to, both in terms of food and in terms of how well presented it was! There were so many choices, and it was all delicious. I would recommend going before 8 though because the second morning we went later and certain things didn’t get replaced when they ran out (eg muffins – which were amazing).

Choices included:

  • Grilled Tomatoes
  • Baked Beans
  • Rustic Beans (Awesome take on baked beans)

  • Fried Onion Jam
  • Bacon
  • Hash Browns
  • Roasted Potatoes (these were amazing)
  • Scrambled Eggs
  • Poached Egs
  • Fried Mushrooms
  • Wilted Spinach
  • Pancakes with berries (before 8, after 8 it seemed to be just pancakes)

Pastries:

  • Danishes
  • Croissants
  • Muffins (these were so good)
  • Apple puffs
  • Chocolate twists

  • Cranberry Juice
  • Cloudy Apply Juice

  • Pineapple Juice
  • Citrus Water

There was also another fresh berry & yoghurt juice the second day which I was particularly fond of – it was so thick though you needed a spoon to drink it.

The usual coffees and teas were also available via self-serve, or cappuccino’s, hot chocolates and that sort of thing are available to order from the barista (at an additional cost).

Around the Hotel

I took a few other photos around the hotel because it was just done up so nicely with the indoor garden in the centre, surrounding the restaurant.

Overall the atmosphere was beautiful, it was very quiet (at least on the weekend when we were there), and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a great little getaway for the weekend!

Save money on your holiday

Travel Money & Currency Conversion: We use both Up Bank and Wise for the best currency conversion rates with support for Apple Pay and Android Pay plus excellent in-app customer support while you are travelling.

Flights: We check a few sites for different prices. Travelling from Australia, I always check Qantas directly for reward flights, but otherwise, I check and compare the cost of flights with SkyScanner. It’s always worth checking alternative routes and days, especially where there are multiple stopover options or nearby alternative airports.

Accommodation: We usually book through Agoda as we find their prices are the lowest and cancellation policies + loyalty benefits work out the best. We also use Airbnb from time to time.

Car Rental: We use AutoEurope to compare rental car prices with all the big international brands like Europcar, Budget, Hertz and Avis. We usually end up using Avis or Europcar as they offer the best deals (make sure to check their current offers for bonus discounts) and both maintain their vehicles well with relatively new fleets.

Tours & Activities: We generally try to book activities through one of these third-party sites ViatorGet Your Guide & Klook due to their flexible cancellation policies (saved us a lot of money trying to travel post-COVID) and price guarantees (often better prices than booking direct). We also book through Red Balloon on occasion for more unique Aussie and NZ activities.
