You know what caught me off guard about this place? It’s actually tucked away on this quiet residential street in Lane Cove – I mean, you’re literally five minutes from the bustle of the Pacific Highway, but Myee Crescent feels like you’ve stumbled into some peaceful suburban pocket that most tourists never find. The house itself is one of those classic Sydney brick numbers, but honestly, the moment you step through the front door, you realize someone put real thought into making this work as a proper getaway spot.
The pool’s the star here – not huge, but perfectly sized for a family or group of friends, and it’s positioned so you get morning sun without being completely exposed to the neighbors. I spent most of my first morning just floating around with coffee, listening to the kookaburras going crazy in the surrounding trees. The three bedrooms are actually spacious (not just “spacious for Sydney,” which usually means you can fit a suitcase), and the master has this nice view toward the Lane Cove River through the trees. What I really appreciated was the kitchen setup – it’s got everything you need if you’re planning to cook, plus there’s a decent-sized dining table where six people can actually sit comfortably. The living area flows naturally onto a covered deck, which becomes your default hangout spot by day two.
Location-wise, you’re in this sweet spot where you feel removed from the city chaos but can still get places easily. There’s a bus stop at the end of the street that’ll get you into the city, though honestly, I’d recommend having a car – parking’s no problem here, and it opens up so much more. Lane Cove Village is maybe a ten-minute walk, and they’ve got this great little strip of cafes and shops that locals actually use. The river’s close enough that you can walk down for morning runs along the water, and if you’re into it, there are some solid bush walking tracks that start basically from the neighborhood. Only minor thing – the house is on a bit of a slope, so if you’ve got mobility issues, just be aware there are some steps to navigate. But really, for a 4-star place with a 9.3 rating, it delivers exactly what it promises. It’s one of those stays where you end up not wanting to leave, partly because it’s comfortable, but mostly because you’ve found this little slice of Sydney that feels like a genuine discovery rather than just another booking.
You need to let the property know what time you'll be arriving in advance.
