Where to eat and stay in South Canberra
92 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in South Canberra, Australian Capital Territory — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.
We hold 92 venues in South Canberra — 81 places to eat and 11 to stay. That makes it the 3rd-largest of the 94 towns and suburbs we cover in Australian Capital Territory, carrying 8% of the region's venues.
Of the places to eat, 32% are cafés against a national figure of 30%. That is close to the New Zealand norm — South Canberra eats roughly the way the country does. The full split is 26 cafés, 35 restaurants, 13 takeaways, 3 bars and 4 pubs.
44 of the 81 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are burger (5), italian (5) and pizza (4). Relative to the rest of the country South Canberra is unusually strong on italian, indian and thai — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.
On the practical detail: 48 publish opening hours (52%), 8 are recorded as step-free, 19 have outdoor seating and 1 flag vegetarian options. Coverage here is better than the 17% national average, so the hours below are more reliable than most.
For a bed, South Canberra runs to 11 listings — 10 hotels and 1 holiday parks and campgrounds. Hotels dominate, at 91% of the town's accommodation.
Places of a similar size — North Burleigh (91), Devonport (91), Hurstville (95) and Hornsby (95) — average 8% accommodation. South Canberra runs at 12%, much the same, so on this measure it behaves like its peers.
All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 18 of the 92 venues in South Canberra carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
