Paddington Bear Isyd

What We Love

Paddington Bear is a three bedroom, two bathroom Victorian terrace in Paddington, Sydney, about a 2 minute walk from the cafés and pubs of Five Ways. It sleeps up to 8 guests across a king bedroom with private balcony, a queen bedroom, a split king bedroom and a queen sofa bed in the study, with a double sitting room, a walled garden with BBQ, air conditioning in every bedroom and the living areas, and garage parking for 1 car. Rated 5 stars by past guests.

It suits families (a travel cot and high chair are available), groups of friends, corporate guests needing parking, a study and easy access to the CBD, and longer stays, with a full kitchen, dishwasher and laundry.

Ground Floor
Decorative balcony railings hint at the period character inside, where original features sit alongside a contemporary fit-out. The double sitting room opens up with folding doors, letting natural light stream through, with soft natural armchairs and two light stone fireplaces. Slide the white timber doors shut and it becomes a smaller sitting room for watching TV or reading, plus a separate study. Skylights pour sunlight over the minimal white kitchen, which has an electric cooktop, oven, dishwasher, microwave, rice cooker and an island bench with timber stools. A statement timber dining table sits beside French doors that open onto the walled garden, with outdoor dining and a BBQ. A second bathroom with walk-in shower and toilet is also on this level.

First Floor
All three bedrooms are upstairs. The main bedroom has timber floors, contemporary art, a Scandi-style monochrome rug and a traditional tiled fireplace, with a king bed, spacious built-in robes, a ceiling fan and a private balcony for morning coffee. The second bedroom has a queen bed with an oak frame and matching side table in a calm grey palette. The third bedroom has a split king, set up as two king singles or made up as a king on request. The main bathroom on this level has a deep freestanding bath and shower.

The Neighbourhood

- Village Life: Paddington is a heritage village of Victorian terraces, boutique stores and leafy streets. Five Ways, just around the corner, has cafés, pubs and speciality shops, and Oxford Street brings fashion, galleries and the Saturday Paddington Markets.
- Dining: Fred's serves some of Sydney's best farm-to-table dishes, and the Paddington Inn pairs good drinks with modern plates. For Italian, Vino e Cucina is close by, with rustic dishes and covered outdoor seating. Love Supreme is a favourite for pizza.
- Parks & Gardens: Paddington Reservoir Gardens is a sunken garden where flowers grow among heritage brick arches and iron railings. Centennial Park is perfect for picnics, runs and cycling.
- Exploring Sydney: Head west along Oxford Street through Darlinghurst to the CBD, or east past Centennial Park and Woollahra to Bondi Beach and the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk.

Buses along Oxford Street connect you to the CBD and Bondi Junction, Uber and GoGet car share are readily available, and your garage space means you can bring your own car.

Home Truths

- Renovation works are underway next door until late February 2027, with possible noise from drilling and construction during approved hours (Monday to Friday 7am to 4pm, and occasional Saturdays 8am to 3pm). Nightly rates have been reduced to reflect this.
- There will be no construction between 18 December 2026 and 11 January 2027, so the home is ideal for a family Christmas holiday.
- The garage suits standard cars and smaller SUVs. It is not suitable for tall vehicles or cars with roof racks.
- All bedrooms are upstairs. The upstairs bedroom windows do not have child locks, so please supervise children at all times, particularly around the windows.
- The sofa bed sleeps 2 additional guests, and an additional guest fee applies.
- The fireplaces are decorative only and cannot be used.
- This is a smoke-free property, and pets are not permitted.
