Cute property with loads of charm in very central area. The staff is not onsite so codes are sent to guests. Was not able to reach staff with some questions but it was fine as it wasnt a drama. Just make sure all your questions are answered before you check in as its a self-serve property.

Beautiful but not quiet

The guesthouse is a really beautiful old house, but that means less insulation. It is located next to a major through road, and guests in other rooms are easily heard. In sum: if you are after a quiet stay, this is not the place. However, there is beautiful scenery (and silen e) only a few minutes away. My room was big and spot clean. The Molton Brown toiletries partially replaced by refillable IKEA bottles. The Sydney feel as per the booking site was more like Bali. Wi-Fi was good. The TV did not work (wind?). The host welcoming and friendly.

The ambiance of an older building but with modern amenities makes it special. However, as can be expected sound travels between rooms which can be a little disconcerting. Wifi strentgh was weak.

Love to return to stay longer.

I travel a lot. This accommodation stands out from the crowd. One word is quality and comfort. See website photos. An old building tastefully restored. May not have good sound proofing (room to room) if all rooms are full or have noisy guests. Very good value for money.
