Accommodation Options at Dickson Village Apartments Canberra

The accommodation range covers both private living and shared apartment arrangements. The main difference between the room types is the amount of private space and whether the apartment is furnished.

Two-Bedroom Apartment Unfurnished	AUD 445/week per person
