Lovely historic property in an excellent location. Walkable to everything. Would be nice to have an outdoor space to enjoy with the property but there are so many common spaces close by, it’s a minor issue.

Fantastic Find

My two adult children and I highly recommend this Millers Point property. Centrally located with easy access to sights, restaurants, cafes, ferries, shops. The property manager provided all the needed info promptly and professionally, with additional clear written instructions. Fun decor in this historic, unique building. Thoughtfully equipped and stocked kitchen and baths. Climbing steps is a must, as was outlined on the VRBO listing. Hot weather during our stay not a problem with efficient A/C in bedrooms! Loved it!

Wow, the accommodation was the highlight of our trip to Sydney. Beautiful historic building hosted by Sam who is so accommodating. Everything has been thought of, a beautiful home away from home and so close to the all the things we wanted to do. Can't wait to return to Sydney and stay again.

A great find in the Rocks area

We really enjoyed our stay here- close to the waterfront, but in a quiet neighbourhood, .It was the perfect spot from which to explore Sydney, and we very much appreciated all the many little touches that made it so convenient and cozy.
