For a budget friendly hotel, the room is simple, and well appointed. The bed was very comfortable. The room had a sink and a small fridge. AC worked great. The shared bathroom was clean, beautifully appointed. A handheld and rain showerhead made for a great showering, experience. Shower gel soap, shampoo, and conditioner available in the shower area. Extra towels, washcloths, and a floor mat ready for use in the bathroom. I felt very safe and secure in the shared but private toilet/shower...

If you’re looking to get “out” of Sydney without actually leaving, this is the perfect spot. Such a peaceful place to relax and read a book, or fuel your adventurous side and go for a kayak or a hike to the top of a lookout. If you’re looking for something off the beaten path, this is it. The owners Sarah and Michael are also some of the kindest people I’ve ever met and will make you feel at home and provide excellent tips for around the area.
