Where to stay in Casey
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Horse Park Drive and Clarrie Hermes Drive bound Casey, and the Gungahlin Town Centre a short run away is where the district's everyday business happens rather than in the suburb itself. No hotels carry a Casey address. Ngunnawal and Nicholls sit next door, and a traveller working through Canberra's options will find the rooms grouped well away from this corner of Gungahlin. Gungahlin is the closer base.

About Casey
What are the main landmarks in Casey?
Casey lists no landmark of its own. The suburb's fixed points are roads and boundaries: Horse Park Drive on one side, Clarrie Hermes Drive on the other, and Ngunnawal, Nicholls, Taylor, and Moncrieff arranged around it. Visitors head into Canberra.
The Gungahlin Town Centre takes the everyday errands, and whatever an Australian Capital Territory trip is built around lies further in.
What is the history of Casey?
Richard Casey, Baron Casey, gave the suburb its name. He was an Australian politician and diplomat who later became the sixteenth Governor-General of Australia, and the Gungahlin suburb carrying his name dates from 1991. Two roads fixed its limits.
Horse Park Drive and Clarrie Hermes Drive still describe the suburb, with Taylor and Moncrieff drawn onto the Gungahlin plan alongside Ngunnawal and Nicholls.
Where is Casey?
Casey occupies the north-west of Gungahlin, next to Ngunnawal and Nicholls and a short way out from the Gungahlin Town Centre.
