For those looking for luxury, Ansonia on Lydiard is a boutique hotel whose rooms are located within a heritage listed property and prices are aimed at the higher end of the budget spectrum. The location is ideal for those who enjoy nature and tranquilly and although set in the heart of the city, the only noise to disturb guests is the dawn chorus regularly sung in the summer months by local garden birds.
