Amazing stay in The Rocks
We found a hidden gem among The Rocks! Sam is a wonderful host, and the location couldn’t be more ideal. Situated in an historic part of Sydney, quiet and quaint, the space had more than enough room for our family of four. The location is very walkable with great access to restaurants and the activities of Circular Quay. If we plan another visit to Sydney, this will be at the top of list to stay again.

5 stars from us!
The property was in an excellent location - easy to get to and lots of places to eat and see within a short walk - easy access to the inner city too. Our host was so helpful and friendly - all in all a great place for four of us to rest our heads for the night. Would have liked to stay longer but we were on our way south.

Fantastic Location!
Great property in the best location, easily walkable to the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and all that The Rocks has to offer. The property is very cute, clean, and had everything our family needed during our stay. The host, Sam, was very responsive and accommodating, meeting us there prior to check in so we could store our luggage. She also had many great local restaurant recommendations for us. Would definitely stay here again.

A two story property
It is located walking distance (10-15 min) from major attractions, plenty of restaurants in the area. Bedrooms (2) are in the second floor by stairs. The property is in an historical heritage building, so layout and space distribution is a little unusual, which adds to the charm. The host is next door and readily available if needed ( we did not have any issues with the property).

The Best!
Our family loved staying at the Rocks Cottages. The location was second to none. Quiet neighborhood but still close to everything. Sam gave us excellent recommendations on dining and activities. We really enjoyed our stay in Sydney and staying here was a large part of it. Plenty of room for our family of 5. We would definitely stay here again. Comfortable, clean, close to everything. Thank you, Rocks Cottages!

Pretty but not cozy
It was a lovely place but not comfortable for my family. We didnt feel like we could make any kind of noise due to the "rules" of the neighborhood and the property so we didnt spend much time there. The second bathroom has an enormeous tub that can only be used as a shower and is a bit precarious to get in/out of. It was very hot in Sydney when we were there and the A/C didnt work consistently. Sam was responsive when texted and would reset the breaker but at 1 am when it went out we were stuck in a hot house with no fan and no windows would open. Sam said the AC was overloaded but we would come back after being gone all day and it wouldnt turn on. It is a lovely property it just wasnt right for us for this trip ar this time.

Wonderful location
The property was perfect for 4, but wiuld be small for six in the living spaces. Bedrooms were large and clean. Location was perfect for getting around the city as it was close to several ferry and train stops, the bridge and cruise port. There is also lots of options for eating within a 10 minute walk. We truly enjoyed the property and Sam was great!

Not for the mobility challenged
First, the property is absolutely darling and very chic. You enter after crawling up about half a dozen uneven concrete steps with no railing, lugging your luggage with you, which was challenging even for the two of us who are NOT mobility challenged. Then you enter a gate (and two more steps) into a cute little courtyard. Then you can enter the house. The house itself is two stories, which was easy to miss in the listing. The first floor held the living room and kitchen space. The living room space was very cramped, barely big enough for the three of us to sit, and not comfortably. The second floor (which was up THREE flights of stairs) is where the bedrooms and bathrooms were located. The bedrooms were more spacious than the floor below. The bathrooms were nice looking, but not very practical. The main bathroom was cramped due to the large bathtub. The en suite bathroom was very chic looking, but the shower nozzle was not able to be adjusted at all, which was inconvenient. All three of us ended up using the shower in the en suite due to the large bathtub in the other bathroom being too large to step into. The beds were rock hard, so none of us got a good night’s sleep. Our mobility challenged friend ended up staying upstairs once she made it to the top, rather than going out with the other two of us on an adventure. It was just too many stairs. We left after the first night of 3 we paid for. It was just too uncomfortable for us all and difficult for our friend.

Lovely Rocks Location
This is a really comfortable and fun place to stay. The location in Sydney's historic Rocks area is incredible, and with the wonderful Barangaroo Reserve to explore as well, this makes it a truly remarkable find. I had a little difficulty figuring out how to message the property manager at first, but ultimately WhatsApp worked well. The house was nicely decorated with a nice patio area off the kitchen/living area. I was surprised that the only bathroom was in one of the bedrooms- fine for me as I was staying alone, but could be a consideration for a larger group or family. I had a really great stay!
