Quick 2 night stop over

Some friends and I had a couple of nights between dive trips, one to the GBR and the other in Fiji, our time was short so location was important. Loved having the historical location, the bedrooms nice and comfy and room to spread out. We spent very little time at the apartment, but it was perfect for our needs! Sam was a wealth of information upon check in and responsive to my need for morning coffee. Overall, a great stay for a couple of nights.

Perfect location

If you’re looking for an amazing location I highly recommend this property. Short walk to both The Rocks and Darling Harbour. Great pubs, restaurants and bars close by. Public transport is also very close. Very cool, quirky cottage. Living area is very small so don’t expect to be lounging around too much. Had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.
