Getting There

By Car: From Canberra CBD, head south on Commonwealth Avenue and turn right onto State Circle. Continue onto Adelaide Avenue, then take the Hindmarsh Drive exit. Turn left onto Red Hill Drive and continue uphill. Lunetta is located at the top of Red Hill, with free parking available onsite.

By Public Transport: Take bus routes 1, 53, or 57 to the nearest stop on Hindmarsh Drive. From there, it's approximately a 10-minute uphill walk to the restaurant. Consider booking a return trip in advance as public transport options are limited in the evening.

By Taxi or Ride-Share: Taxis and ride-share services provide the most convenient access to Lunetta. Request drop-off at Lunetta, 60 Red Hill Drive. The restaurant's elevated location provides spectacular views but requires direct transport. For return journeys, ask restaurant staff to call a taxi or use ride-share apps.
