Forrest Hotel and Apartments

My main inspiration comes from what is directly around me...I remember combinations of colours I see in houses ,pictures, gardens, buildings or sculptures here and round the world. CRESSIDA CAMPBELL 

Book Tickets to Cressida Campbell here....... Events | The National Gallery of Australia (nga.gov.au)

Cressida Campbell is among Australia’s most significant contemporary artists working with painting and printmaking. Directly inspired by her surroundings, for over 40 years the Gadigal/Sydney-based artist has transformed commonplace experiences from her life into single edition prints and painted woodblocks.

Combining keen observation with a delicacy of line, Campbell’s woodblock paintings and prints capture the overlooked beauty of the everyday. Through her views of a working harbour or burnt bushland, an arrangement of nasturtiums or a plate of ripening persimmons, the artist celebrates the transitory moments of life.

The survey exhibition will present the depth and virtuosity of Campbell's work, extending from intimate interior views through to panoramic coastal landscapes. It will be accompanied by an exhibition catalogue that features writing from curators, artists, poets and other voices.

Cressida Campbell is a Know My Name project.

Curator: Dr Sarina Noordhuis-Fairfax, Curator, Australian Prints and Drawings

A Chat with Sarah: Why Forrest Hotel & Apartments is Her Go-To Stay At Forrest Hotel and Apartments, we love hearing about our guests' experiences and how we can make their stay even better. Recently, we had the pleasure of chatting with Sarah and her family about why they chose to stay with us, what surprised them, and what they loved about their two-bedroom apartment. Here's what Sarah had to say! Why did you choose Forrest Hotel and Apartments for your stay? “We love the convenience of Forrest Hotel—it’s so close to Manuka Village, with its cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops. Plus, attractions like the National Gallery, National Museum, and Old Parliament House are just around the corner. There’s so much to do, and the location couldn’t be better!” What surprised you during your stay this time? “I was really surprised to learn that you offer one- and two-bedroom apartments. It was a nice surprise! The BBQ area and the green grass were also a highlight—perfect for letting the girls run around after a long drive.” What did you enjoy most about your two-bedroom apartment? “We absolutely loved the full-sized kitchen, the comfortable living space, and the laundry facilities. The BBQ area and landscaped gardens were also a lovely bonus. It made our stay so relaxing and convenient.” Is there anything else you'd like to mention? “We didn’t realize you offer a discounted members rate at Forrest Hotel and Apartments.

A chat with a regular who has been staying at Forrest Hotel and Apartments for 10 years… Why stay at Forrest? We love the convenience of Forrest Hotel, it’s so close to Manuka village cafes, restaurants and boutique shops. Why do you visit Canberra so much? We love a night at the theatre, seeing an exhibition at the National Gallery, National Museum or Old Parliament House and that’s just to name a few of the attractions we enjoy. What surprised you during your stay at Forrest this time? I was so surprised to learn that you also have one and two-bedroom apartments available; after staying here for 10 years I had no idea and enjoyed the extra facilities. What did you enjoy about your one-bedroom apartment? We loved the full-size kitchen comfortable living space and laundry facilities in the apartments, we also found the B-B-Q area and landscaped gardens very pleasant. We didn’t realize that you offered a discounted members rate on your website. We will book next time. Thank-you for the Chat 😍
