This property is set in a great location, within easy walking distance of the harbour bridge, opera house, circular quay and 2 minutes from Barangaroo metro station. Great choice of restaurants and bars on doorstep and convenience store just round the corner. The property itself is lovely with well appointed kitchen, small seating area with table, not really big enough for all five of us to eat in but we mainly used the property only to sleep and shower in. There is no WiFi but thankfully we had all bought esims with plenty of data before arriving so this was no problem. The only small issue we found was that there was a lack of sockets for charging phone, hairdryer - the one in the dressing area was marked as do not use which was a bit inconvenient as it had the best natural light. All in all a great property in the perfect location with lovely host - Sam and her dog Max!

Great place, great location. Historical home. Pros: Beds were comfortable, AC worked well. Had all amenities needed. Host very responsive. Cons: Check in process requires you to meet up with host, even though it’s a keypad to get in. No WiFi. Definitely not recommended for people who can’t handle steps. Odd bathroom in master bedroom, if you like door shut privacy you don’t have that. Overall though this is a lovely place.

The property location was excellent. The property itself was lovely. If you are a family who is keen to eat-in most meals then the living area may be a bit small and there is no outdoor entertaining (due to noise restrictions and local holiday leasing laws), but as a home base for a trip it was perfect. 5 min walk to the rocks, 10 min to circular quay and 10 min to barangaroo. We loved it and will stay again. The host was also great.

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!

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

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.
