Where to stay in Macgregor
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Three roads box Macgregor in. Ginninderra Drive on the north, Southern Cross Drive on the south, and Florey Drive along the east mark out a residential grid where Canberra records no hotels at all, which leaves Belconnen or the city as the sensible base. Dunlop, Latham, and Holt are the neighbours, not resorts. Anyone booking a night in Macgregor already has a reason inside Belconnen.
