School Groups Visiting Canberra
We know how much there is to see and do in the nation’s capital or nearby snow fields. So at Warrambui, we make sure your school group sets off refreshed and refueled, armed with packed lunches and snacks for a big day of Canberra discovery. We welcome you home each evening with a hearty meal, tranquil surrounds, and a comfy bed.
Convenient and Beautiful Location
We are Situated 40 minutes north of the centre of Canberra and closer to North Canberra attractions such as the AIS and Cockington Green. We’re perfectly located for those travelling in via the Barton Highway to greet you on your way in to Canberra, and give you a head start on your bus trip home. The trip into Canberra gives teachers the opportunity to brief students on the days activities, and the trip back provides the chance to wind down after a full day. Our tranquil and spacious environment is perfect for students to unwind or run of some steam away from the distractions in the city.
