Megalo Artist Accommodation

Megalo has affordable accommodation options available to members visiting from interstate and overseas at Cargills Cottage, an early Canberra weatherboard home located close to our studios. The dwelling was constructed in 1927 as housing for one of ten dairy farms in the area. The Cottage has two bedrooms available (one single and one double), lounge room, bathroom, kitchen and laundry and was restored and renovated by the ACT Government in 2012 to reflect its farmhouse heritage.
Artists can share the cottage with other artists visiting Canberra in a pleasant and comfortable situation close to the studio. Linen is supplied. Cargills Cottage is managed by a live-in caretaker. Accommodation is subject to availability.

Guests staying in the Cottage or using the Megalo studios must be a member of Megalo. Membership is $70 or concession $50 and lasts 12 months. You can join or renew your membership HERE.
