Girls weekend

We had a fantastic stay- the house is in a prime location. We could walk to everything. Also a couple of great pubs/bars literally across the road and we also dined at a few restaurants. The lounge and kitchen are on the smaller side but had everything we needed. Highly recommend

What a find this cottage was! It was clean and comfortable and just right for our short stay in Sydney. The location was perfect as it only took us 10 minutes to walk to the Harbour. The accommodation itself is set in the historic district and is only a short walk away from cafes and restaurants nearby. The host was on site to welcome us and she was really quick to deal with any questions or issues we may have had. The downstairs was quite small but cosy and the kitchen very adequate for what we needed. Overall a fabulous stay!

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.
