• Beautiful heritage cottage – Janet from Australia (10/10)

  We are experienced travellers and this 1850s sandstone cottage is definitely exceptional. It has been carefully and thoughtfully restored and is elegantly furnished without any unnecessary clutter. The location is quiet and only a short walk to the Balmain shops. There are some great restaurants nearby – we particularly loved the Dry Dock pub and the Greek Door. I strongly recommend a stay – you won’t regret it!

• This welcoming cottage was a wonderful place to stay in Sydney. – Judy from Australia (10/10)

  There was nothing not to like. Generous provisions in fridge. Central heating which made the cottage snug on some cold days in July. The cottage was tastefully furnished. The cottage was more than just a bed to sleep in. We met with a friend on one of our days, and after exploring the main street, we spent some happy hours together chatting in the back room for the afternoon. We then picked up salads from a cafe on Darling Street and enjoyed a meal around the kitchen table. It seemed to us that the hosts took joy in providing such a welcoming home. We would definitely stay again. The location was a great launching place for exploring this historic area of the city. And it was just a short ferry ride to Circular Quay.
